The head of the German imperial house and his wife laid a wreath at the resting place of the empress at the Antique Temple in Potsdam. A religious service was also held to mark the life of the empress. The funeral of Auguste Viktoria, the great-great-grandmother of Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia and the first wife of German Emperor Wilhelm II, took place one hundred years ago today on 19 April 1921.
