Since the 19th century, the “most significant and worthy” actor in the German-speaking theatre world carries the Iffland-Ring.
The Iffland-Ring is a solid iron ring containing a likeness of its namesake (actor August Wilhelm Iffland) surrounded by 28 diamonds. It is passed from actor to actor by will: when one actor dies, his successor receives the ring.
