Description
The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was a territory in Northern Germany, held by the younger line of the House of Mecklenburg residing in Neustrelitz. Like the neighbouring Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, it was a sovereign member state of the German Confederation and became a federated state of the North German Confederation and finally of the German Empire upon the unification of 1871. After World War I and the German Revolution of 1918–19 it was succeeded by the Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
Adolphus Frederick V (1848–1914) was reigning grand duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz from 1904 to 1914.

Crowned imperial German eagle. The design of the eagle was altered at least twice during the German Empire (1871–1918). It shows the imperial eagle, a comparatively realistic black eagle, with the German State Crown. In contrast to its predecessor, the eagle of the German Confederation, it has only one head, symbolising that important parts of the old empire, Austria and Bohemia, were not part of this new empire.
