Abstract Emperor Maximilian I was intensely engaged with material relics of the ancient Roman and medieval German past. Maximilian’s historical imagination, creative and participatory rather than objective and distancing, guided his own monumental projects. This essay analyzes, among other episodes, the quest for the bones of the historical Siegfried in Worms and an apparently archeological drawing by Albrecht Dürer.
