!!!Goldhaube

Goldhaube: 1) Golden Headdress, Developed out of women´s linen 
bonnets from the second half of the 18%%sup th/%  century until about 
1850, now beautifully decorated headdresses worn by the wives of 
burghers. They were decorated with black lace, black costume beads, 
tulle and gauze, and in particular silken and golden threads and 
sequins. The best known style of these golden headdresses is the 
"Linzer Goldhaube" with its beautiful golden appliques of sequins and 
golden threads, which was widely used (from Ulm in Bavaria, throughout 
the Danube valley to Vienna, in the Steyr, Krems, Alm, Ybbs and Erlauf 
valleys and down to Graz, Klagenfurt and Villach). As a symbol of the 
well-to-do bourgeoisie, it is still worn in Upper (and parts of Lower) 
Austria on festive occasions.
