Iffland Ring - a diamond-decorated ring with a portrait of Augustus William Iffland , a German playwright and actor. The owner of the ring has the right to transfer it to the best (in his opinion) German-speaking actor. An exception to this rule occurred in 1954 , when one of the bearers of the ring, Werner Kraus , received it by decision of the committee of German actors.
