The the beginning of the war (from 1914 to about late to mid 1915) the German army used a hard leather helmet called the Pickelhaube. However, in late 1915 or early 1916, the German army began replacing the Pickelhaube with the Stahlhelm, which was mad of steel. It was much more protective against shrapnel, shell fragments, etc.
The Germans used the Stahlhelm in WWII, but it was a little smaller than the original version.
