The upheaval in Germany following the First World War included the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the lesser hereditary nobility in 1918, and Friedrich I along with his peers gave up his power and his principality was absorbed into the fragile new Weimar Republic. His family's collection, which focused on Roman and Byzantine coins, was mostly sold off in the early 1930s.
