German 32cm cartridge case.

I know the cases themselves did not have nomenclatures, but what rounds did this go with? And what does the Crown with the 11 below it stand for?

Length: 457-MM

what I have read is that it is used in the Mod 1916 Austrian designed field howitzer.

This is a 30,5 cm case for the model 1909 Krupp L/17 howitzer. Not a common case and original length!
