According to the UNESCO Austrian National Commission, "The version of the "Goldhaube" [Golden Cap] native to Linz is a gold-embroidered piece of headwear that represents the most materially valuable element of Upper Austria's traditional festive costume for women, and it has been worn on sacred and secular occasions since the beginning of the 19th century."
