To the creator of a new culture

With the Limited Edition Karl the Great (Karl der Grosse), Montblanc is honoring a great king and the founder of the Carolingian renaissance.

Charlemagne promoted the fusion of the humanistic ideals of antiquity with the intellectual inheritance of the Germanic world.

Thus the high values of Christianity became the heart of a new western culture and a new European identity.

This was possible because he actively cultivated contacts with the great minds of his day - scholars, architects and artists.

His imperial palaces became the cultural and artistic centers of his pan-European empire.

The renowned palace schools which were created there were also the source of an early form of standard grammar, and of the famous Carolingian minuscule, the forerunner of all western writing systems.

Thus Charlemagne is one of the great figures of world history to whom Montblanc pays tribute each year. People who have devoted their lives to serving those values to which Montblanc is also committed: the promotion of art and culture.

The delicately winding elements which embellish the Montblanc Limited Edition Karl der Grosse, Hommage à Charlemagne LE4810 been finished in sterling silver, in accordance with the highest traditions of craftsmanship.
