History of Prussia: Kings and Leaders / Hohenzollern
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2010
- This video about Prussian history focusses on its kings and leaders and what they meant for Prussia. The dynasty of Prussia from 1525 to 1918 is called the Hohenzollerns. Even the two rulers before 1618 were Hohenzollerns. Note how exceptionally long some Prussian monarchs ruled:
The Great Elector: 48 years.
Frederick the Great: 46 years.
Frederick William III: 43 years.
Also, Wilhelm I lived to a be 90 years old, remarkably old in those times.
Music:
0:00-0:21 Parademarsch der Spielleute
0:22-0:30 Der Preußische Lockmarsch
0:32-1:44 Der Hohenfriedberger
1:49-4:11 Königgrätzer Marsch (the part from 2:59 is the second part of the Königgrätzer Marsch)

Does your username mean The Kaiser of Prussia?I don't speak much German.
my fathers family was forced out after 1945 the property and homes were lost when the borders shifted and Germany lost Prussia , 13 Million Germans were dispelled in the greatest ethnic cleansing in the history of Europe . Everyone thinks I have a Polish name but in fact my name is neither Polish or German , but Prussian , my fathers family is from Osterode
"Wir wollen unseren alte Kaiser Wilhelm wieder haben, aber sie mit dem bart- mit dem langen bart!"
Prussia will always be a place in my mind ;__;
PRUSSIA RULEZ!!!!
+hohaapril Preussen uber alles mein freund!
Preussen ist cool
hohaapril Prussia is a place when I look in mirror and see. I am Ritter and Bischoff! ect ect
This is a great video. I would be willing to bet this is one of the best youtube videos of 2010.
One of the First Mapping Videos. Good Video
Thank you for making this.
I love all your histories, makes Central European history understandable - thank you!
Many thanks to Paul Riet for this excellent video which is even more precious as history in schools is no more taught according to the real facts. The moral values of Prussia and of the Hohenzollern are unfortunately missing in the corrupted world of today.
Ja
Well I like my adulthood!
Excellent video. Thank you.
Excellent work
Brilliant video showing where my family came from. Very sad though.
OMG my mother surname was von hohenzollern and it is my middle name now ,is it could be something to do with royalty lol
+Molly Hohenzollern Stewart Lol this is actually pretty cool I for one wouldn't care to be in a Personal Union with you
You would need to submit to genetic blood testing to find out.
Great video please make more friend.
very good
super video
4:43 I know what he does....he give us germans much power.
+Roffel Keys (Captain Keys) HE DESTROYED GLORIOUS PREUSSEN. >:C
+kt wemhoff well, actually he destroyed Prussia, any other German state and the German people itself
Hitler dissolved the Free State of Prussia, making it all states. Also, as we see from previous Europe unifiers, Hitler got to war with every one that exists in Europe except for the Iberians and Sweden. Germany could not possibly fight them all; she was inevitably destined to lose. So Hitler shot himself at the foot. Making Germany lose Ost Preußen all together with Sileisa and Hinterpommern
More like lost Germany Pomerania, Silesia, East Prussia and some of Brandenburg and now all have to be reclaimed from the polish who have their sticky fingers all over the stolen Territories of Prussia.
:) super!
Silesia, Pomerania, East Prussia and Eastern parts of Brandenburg should be returned to Germany it's rightful owner. They were only supposed to be under Polish "administration" for a "transitional period" but the Polish ethnically cleansed all the 14 million inhabitants of eastern Germany and replaced them with Polish.
@ElectroPea15 Yes, Stalin was paranoid about the Germans re-forming a state and attacking the USSR again. Churchill and FDR caved to his demands.
Germany nazi nation raus
Actually I was interested in what they were saying as it was clearing up some questions i had about early prussian history.
That's a really good question, and I don't know the answer to that. I'm more of a Polish history buff, so I'm hoping a Prussian history buff can weigh in on these details as much as you are.
Yes, that's more or less my understanding. Even though Frederick I was Duke of Prussia and Elector of Brandenburg, among other titles, he just called himself King in Prussia, no one wanted to fight over it, and it went on from there. If someone can add more information to this nuanced elevation to "Kingdom" under Frederick I that would be great!
Prussian state must be restored as an autonomous region.
+Zulfiqar Uddin Bump dat, It is supposed to be German
agreed and when that is done Poland and Russia can pay all refugees who fled reparations for taking property and homes , my fathers family lost everything they had . 13 million people were expelled
Between 13 to 14 Million Germans were ethnically cleansed from Eastern Germany by Polish, 2.6 Million German mostly women children and elderly were killed.
Ofcurse i show intrest in Prussia im of Prussian blood follow my dna my family came from todays Berlin area even documents showes us that my many great Grand father fought as a Prussian Granadier in the firsht and second selican wars firsht as a privet next as a L.T before he retired then moved to Sweden (reason unknowed) and hes grand son moved to Norway to become a woods man and here i am now 200 years later wrighting to you guys
Ok well that gives me a better understanding thankyou! One other question I have.. Despite all of this, Berlin remained the capital of the Prussian Empire through out that Empire's existence right?
I am reading a book titled Bismark, a life. Did Prussia really produce great able leaders and kings? It's amazing several Germans states united in a short amount of time to become Germany of today. Except for bad leadership under Hitler which ruined the country, pre WW2 was exceptional. Many nations which have histories in thousands of years have sub par legacies, but Prussia with Geramn states created a vibrant political and economic power.
How is your spring break so far Mr. Vasquez /o\
what's the name of the last music of this video?
I like it
What's the song at 2:12 ?
cool
"This one here is Prussia." How could it come so far??? ):
When Prussia was a subject to Poland (1525-Somedate I can't remember)
Ostprussia(Might've spelled wrong) was Prussia's capital, it was in East Prussia and is now a province/state in Poland. But in 1701, when Prussia was formed again their capital has been Berlin, Brandenburg.
so good video from turkey
song at the begining?
@HrichardH96 Could it have been cause of the Prussian's relations to the Papacy??? O=
This makes me want to play some EUIII.
Prussia lives forever!
You could have added how Frederick I. officially made Prussia a kingdom in 1701. Other than that, great.
who was that man with the mustace?
+FATLADYWANTSTOEATYOURCOCK Your mom
+Flitter Mouse HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL
wel... if steal industries and money is legal, when you make the rules... so he was.
@Julian Tavela explain and argue your statement please
I was talking about the expropriation of jewish goods. Im not a great expert in the matter but i guess that was a big factor. And reconsidering, without the antisemitic concepts (that we can remove) it was an effective economic strategy.
yes very good.
I am a Ritter and Bischoff ect ect ect.. And my grandfather's service in every branch sense the first breath of the Prussian military. My grandfathers Riehm were Hessian mercenaries married to Bischoff who's mother was Ritter.
Frederik William II is Captain Antilles
Long live Prussia!
The gentlemans war ended with world war one.
… can you comment on the large (?) migrations under Frederick William II & III please in the later 1830’s, 40’s & 50’s. I understand as well as South Australia (both my mother’s & father’s people, same for my wife) USA, Canada & Sth Africa were also destinations. …
14 million Germans were ethnically cleansed from eastern Germany after WW2. Around 10 million Germans were ethnically cleansed from Prussia alone from Silesia, Pomerania and East Prussia. This was the largest incident of ethnic cleansing in history but somehow it's seldom mentioned in history books or documentary films about Prussia or WW2.
Frederick III was really the last chance of stopping world war I and eventually II....if he had survived long enough, or gained the throne sooner, there was a good chance that the tensions that were caused by bismarck (through his father) would never have lead to the war...mabye even long enough to produce another heir so wilhem II would never have gained the throne
I'll try to keep this short... Brandenburg was in the Holy Roman Empire (HRE). While HRE was in existence and of any significance, there was only one King for all the countries in the HRE: that being the Emperor of the HRE himself. So the Elector of Brandenburg would not go by "King." Until of course he gained Prussia as a territory, which lay outside the HRE. He called himself "King in Prussia" and so he has a higher status and that's why the country is "Prussia" and not "Brandenburg."
Err no. Austria was an Arch Duchy, and the only Kingdom in the Empire, err well, is the Kingdom of Bohemia, but sooner or later that title goes to Austria, after succeeding the Bohemian throne
Prussia got circumcised between 1933-1945
Its because it wasn't called Poland-Lithuania but "Rzeczpospolita" and we use this name as our official to these days.
you forgot to mention the part with the guy called napoleon
I just forgot, today Wilhelm II came to power O_o
As I known the Kingdom of Prussian in 17 -> 19 century started from the Brandenburg, the Elector of Brandenburg had the title of the Prussian through marriage and claimed himself the King odd Prussian but most of the Prussian land were conquered by Polish, Lithuanian and other Germany state
So they went with the name 'Prussia' because it was the first territory they acquired which was outside the HRE and the first place where the title 'King' could be used?
Sehr gute Vorstellung, Danke! Ich bin Kanadier der Deutsch gelernt hat. (Mein Deutsch is dehalb nicht sehr gut.) Sie meinen also dass die Preußen ursprünglich keine Deutsche waren? Wirklich?
December 1, 1469 at a Sejm in Piotrków Trybunalski, Grand Master Heinrich Reuß von Plauen paid homage to King Casimir IV Jagiellon,
20 November 1470, at a Sejm in Piotrków Trybunalski, Grand Master Heinrich Reffle von Richtenberg paid homage to King Casimir IV,
9 October 1479 at Nowy Korczyn, Grand Master Martin Truchseß von Wetzhausen paid homage to King Casimir IV,
18 November 1489 at Radom, Grand Master Johann von Tiefen paid homage to King Casimir IV,
29 May 1493, Grand Master Johann von Tieffen paid homage to King John I Albert.
@GorgenGortex wow... i didn't know people like you existed
Portugal and Hanover were also allies of Frederick the Great...
@MontChevalier Amen to that! Or the Habsburgs. I am like you
Prussia wasn't renamed into brandenburg after WW2. It was dissolved in 1947.
When did Portugal send troops???
So basically, Prussia was just a territory that came under the control of Brandenburg? So why didn't they call it the Brandenburg Empire? Is it because 'Prussia' sounds better, or easier to say?
Friedrich not Frederick and Wilhelm not William but the video is good !!!
Oh god, here comes the Hetalia
What are you talking about? This is my first time commenting. I know you posted this 2 months ago but this that was the first time I saw the comment.
How?
@MrStaxxy
Aw, come on, don't you miss the friendly rivalry we had? Yeah, okay, it could get a bit bloody at times, but that's just occupational hazard.
Bring back Prussia!
Brandenburg wasn't really owned by the Prussian monarchy now was it? It became part of Brandenburg after all thier male heirs died out and the Brandenburger prince married to the eldest Prussian daughter took over. Then from there, the Hohenzollerns, who had been ruling out of Brandenburg since before that union, continued to rule for several monarchs. I'm not sure how you think the Prussian monarchy ruled over Brandenburg. I am also not sure why the Empire ended up being called 'Prussia'.
Salvus967 it ended up being called Prussia due to Prussia being able to become a kingdom, while Brandenburg couldn’t due to hre restrictions. Thus, since Kingdoms are more prestigious than Electorates/Dukedoms, the title King in Prussia was preferred over Elector of Brandenburg, and the name Prussia was preferred over Brandenburg, despite the Hohenzollerns being from Brandenburg.
Sooooo Prussia became Brandenburg? I thought Germany somewhat dissolved it, the Allies finished up, and Russia renamed Könginsberg Kallinigrad. Sorry, I'm just a little confused. After the HRE=Aus incident I like to have my fact and fiction neatly organized.
+Flitter Mouse The Allys dissolved Prussia after WWII, that's true. But since there hasn't been any other country in the area of today's region of Brandenburg than Prussia for the last 400 years and Brandenburg was in the center of Prussia (Potsdam, its capital is also the capital of Brandenburg) it's somehow seen as Prussias heir :)
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!
Prussia is a fake country that's why it was taken off the map, Germans came in under the HRE and stole the land from a Balt tribe.. But all the Germans have been sent home there is no place for them in these areas!!
+Flitter Mouse It's pretty interesting how Prussia became Brandenburg.
After the Duchy of Prussia itself became independent from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Sweden in the Second Northern War, Prussia was the only Hohenzollern possession independent of any other power. When the War of the Spanish Succession broke out, the Holy Roman Emperor promised to grant Frederick III the title King IN Prussia (read: not OF) in exchange for help against fighting France.
When Frederick the Great partitioned the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and connected East Prussia to Brandenburg 70 years later, he decided that the title was stupid and crowned himself King OF Prussia, pretty much ending the HRE's "Bohemia is the only kingdom" rule.
+Teemobile Thanks a lot! I laughed when you said Fredrick thought his title was stupid.
so after ww1 germany was un-united?
No, Brandenburg is nearly identical with the kingdom of prussia. The dutchy of prussia became a part of Brandenburg. Brandenburg never became a part of the kingdom of prussia, because it was only renamed in 1701 into prussia. Look at Frederick III/I.
es lebe groß Deutschland
Ja
In 1525 there isnt any Prussia. It was Polish vasal. Prussian Homage in 1525 to 1660 all Prusia and to 1772 part of Prussia.
It IS a Polish vassal, but somehow got in a personal union under Brandenburg
Only the southern half. The northern half is now the Kaliningrad Oblast.
Wrong, the dutchy of prussia is a other country and it isn't the kingdom of prussia. Brandenburg was after the thirty-years-war renamed into Brandenburg-Prussia and in 1701 into Prussia. So it's nearly identical.
@spam1138 No. But under the monarchy Prussia held dominance over the other states. After Germany became a Republic that no longer was true.
Hetalia. History used to be just dusty old books for me. Thanks to this wonderful show, I can appreciate human history more. I hold great respect for Prussia, though its existence was short, they accomplished it big and loud. I love history now.
50 years from the 2nd king
[2/2] Why not to start from the beginning and mention 1226: the Teutonic Knights coming to Masovian Duchy, Kingdom of Poland, from Akka in Palestine, wow amazing is it it?). Created a state, the Teutonic Independent state 1226 - 1466, growing and becoming enormously powerful, losing finally its independence to the Kingdom of Poland and 1466 in the second piece of Thorn. Hmmm… do not miss the Battle of Grunwald, 1410, biggest battle in medieval Europe - a beginning of a decline of once mighty and powerful Teutonic Order state (protoplast of Duchy and Kingdom of Prussia). 1266 - 1410 - mighty and powerful. 1410 - 1466 losing its advantage to the emerging regional power, united states of Kingdom of Poland and Great Duchy of Lithuania. Losing its western territory to Poland and the rest of the territory becoming a fief to Kingdom of Poland between 1466 - 1525. In 1525 the state transformed from the Teutonic Order state to the Duchy of Prussia and was neither independent nor powerful. Duchy of Prussia was a vassal of the Polish Crown - it was a fief of Kingdom of Poland for another 120 years, 1525- 1657. The rest of the days are also fascinating, growing as a Duchy of Prussia 1657 - 1701, becoming a kingdom of Prussia in 1701, growing fast, and becoming a leader of German Empire in 1871. In 1918 transforming into Free State of Prussia (not a kingdom anymore). From 1914 to 1947 losing plenty of territories. In 1947 vanishing from the world map and the history. The formal abolition of Prussia occurred on 25 February 1947, after II WW by decree of the Allied Control Council. Control Council Law No. 46: The Prussian State ceased to exist on February 25, 1947.
The Most powerful country in the world
Prussia is part of poland now
Awesome Prussia is just as awesome as hetalia says
Who is hetalia
you will regret asking this
@Fliegengott666
Now you're saying it, if prussia come back with german army, france will probably beat them.
For once.
Only my understanding was that Prussians were not German. They even spoke a different language until the Christians hammered them for centuries before they succumbed in both numbers and language... so where are the real Prussians now?
Damn Texans!
prussia or germany seems confused about its long term goals
Are the german people learn this?
Preussen ist unsere Zukunft !
prussian king has no title "king of the prussia" until Polish kingdom existed
wat? The only reason why there is no 'King of Prussia' is because only duchies are allowed in the Holy Roman Empire
no, prussia became grow because of partipations of Polish kingdom
@73hd99w I was thinking the same thing ahah.
O, Hohenzollerns, small Polish vassal ;)
You should use there orginal German names and not there "Englished" version, so Wilhelm instead of William.
The question is were lies the future of central europe
It's really too bad about Prussia, the German Empire is my favorite model for an empire, one I would have emulated had I my own empire to forge.
nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu u ned twa stahp *absconds* *whispers* hoooomestuuuck
@kikuchhoeun nooooo!!! DX
Why Prussia ? Why ?
