Description

Standard of His Majesty the German Emperor:

"The standard, 4 meters square, is made of golden-yellow silk and displays the Iron Cross, overlaid with the smaller coat of arms of His Majesty. In each angle of the cross appear an imperial crown and three black eagles with red talons and beaks. The inscription on the cross reads 'GO TT MIT UNS 18 70' [note: "God with us"; 1870 was the year the Iron Cross was established for the second time]. As soon as His Majesty boards a ship, the Imperial Standard is hoisted at the top of the mainmast and all other command and distinguishing marks are removed." — Hugo Gerard Ströhl: Deutsche Wappenrolle, enthaltend alle Wappen, Standarten, Flaggen, Landesfarben und Kokarden des deutschen Reiches, seiner Bundesstaaten und regierenden Dynastieen, Stuttgart 1897
