Kaiserthum

Kaiserthum, or modern German Kaisertum (lit. 'Kaiser-dom'), is a German word for Empire in its meaning as a state ruled over by an Emperor, used in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1] It is most known as a description of the Empire of Austria after its creation in 1804.[2] A later used German term for it is "Kaiserreich".
