[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 912207, member: 2844"]The coat of arms of Aachen is the Holy Roman Empire eagle missing a head.;) The crown is a reference to Aachen being the town where the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were crowned. The Prussian eagle is also the Holy Roman Empire eagle missing a head.:( Prussia became an independent kingdom in 1701, and during the course of the 18th century the eagle received several attributes. So both based on the Holy Roman Empire, none based on the other. The coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire was of course the famous double-headed eagle we know from so many Continental European crests.[/QUOTE]
