Preußisches Liebesglück (Prussian Love), 1890, by Emil Doerstling (1859-1940)

Love you're blog! What are the best places in Prussia on your opinion and why?

Sorry it took me so long to answer!I’m going to say the Rhineland might be the most beautiful one (and yeah it counts even if it’s after 1815) because it’s just so fucking beautiful?Like, I’m driving along the Rhine everyday and it’s like a postcard and it’s beautiful so yeah, if you want to do a vacation, I recommend this.I’ve never been to Kaliningrad before, so I can’t say much about that, but I hear there’s plenty of nice stuff to see there as well. Although I heard they really let Kant’s old home go?Well, Sans Souci is obviously beautiful, but the castle itself is really small - but the parks are amazing and if you’re just looking for a place to chill in the afternoon, it’s very nice.Berlin and Potsdam both are very nice, but for a vacation it can get quite expensive if you don’t know your way around - I recommend air-bnb and getting a full-week-ticket for the U-Bahn - that includes trips to Potsdam as well, although you’ll have to switch to the Bus after Potsdam central station. (where btw they rent bikes beneath a picture of Old Fritz on a bike, which I think is really cute)There’s also the Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten which maintain Prussian palaces and gardens, so if you’re looking for interesting and beautiful places, I can recommend their site: (x)

After 26 years of absence,the German Democratic Republic has finally returned to spread the glorious idea of socialism throughout the world.

@useless-prussiafacts @useless-germanyfacts you are only slaves of feudalism & capitalism,this is the best of all German states.

fellow brother@useful-north-korea-facts lets continue the path to a classless society together.

@all the other countries of the world let me serve as a shining example for statehood.

End of Propaganda.

Prussia Fact #5

Frederick the Great grew his own pineapples at Sanssouci, hoping that the could cure his gout. Pineapples do in fact not cure gout but still taste nice.

Given his relationship with Von Katte, that probably wasnt the only reason he consumed so much pineapple.

What? What does Katte have to do with pineapples? Please someone explain!

Der holocaustgedenkkritische deutsche Politiker Bernd/Björn Höcke hat in seiner letzten Rede wohl auch erklärt, dass er sich wünsche seine Anhänger zu neuen Preußen zu machen und als Vertreter meiner selbst möchte ich darauf in einem angemessenen Statement meine Meinung verdeutlichen:

French Revolution is when the people unite and cut their king’s head off, German revolution is when the people unite, hand a dude a crow and he says no

Think you meant crown, but I like this alt-history where crows make kings.

useless-prussiafacts

😂 tbh no one would say no to a crow

#well I wouldn't #also I corrected it #self reblog

okay the season finale of our little trip into the 9th century:

Louis III dies at the age of 18 after three years as king (879-882) while chasing after a girl while on horseback. (He’s on horseback. She’s not. She’s screwed, right? But wait-) The girl is smarter than him and runs inside through a door, Louis tries to follow her, but the door isn’t high enough for an adolescent idiot king on a horse and he hits his head, breaks his skull and that’s the end of the story of Louis III of France. When I’m finished with this essay I’ll probably drink to that girl, she’s my new hero.

#Hinkemar was meanwhile busy sending him notes to watch out that he might die soon because for a long time #no man from his family outlived the previous generation #non facts #not prussia #9th century #what a mess

I’m currently reading about an archbishop from the 9th century, Hinkemar, who was an advisor to the kings and emperors of the holy roman empire for a long time, but under Emperor Charles he got cast aside.

And boy, he didn’t take that well.

He started sending letters to Charles’ designated successor - Louis - to tell him how important good advisors were and that every king needed to listen to them and adds a long history essay about past kings and Emperors - just to make clear that he knew all of those people personally and how much he helped them. After Emperor Charles’ death he doesn’t only write a detailled report about how much Charles’ body stunk (really, really detailled) but also how a clairvoyant called Bernold had a vision about a mangled, injured Emperor Charles, half-eaten by worms, who’s warned him from beyond the grave that every ruler should listen to his advisors. or they’d be punished by God.

I mean, my man Hinkemar is clearly the least subtle individual to ever walk the earth, but he got to coronate Louis so there’s that.

Oh the drama continues: After Louis dies, he’s suceeded by two young kings called Karlmann (he’s probably called something else in English) and Louis III and they don’t listen to Hinkemar either. Hinkemar then writes a letter to Charles III that he should adopt the kings (they’re 13 and 15) so that he could make sure they’re influenced by the right people. Meaning Hinkemar. His argument: Alexander the Great had Leonidas for a teacher and Leonidas and that’s where Alexander got his temper and his strange walk. And the son of Salomon lost his Empire because he listened to young people instead of the old adivsors. (So there!

#oh he also ranted about Charles making the vow allegiance to him because he never had to vow allegiance to anyone #plus he had to call Charles senior and that vow and he hated that because he's older #generally he seems like that bitter old uncle you know's gonna be on the family reunion and you get a list of topics #that are taboo around him #not prussia #holy roman empire #9th century #history

I just heard of the attack on the Christmas Market in Berlin-Charlottenburg and I want to say I hope all of you and your loved ones are safe and sound. I never wanted to say anything about these things, but as a Berliner by birth this strikes very close to home, even when I'm living there. My heart goes out to the people of Aleppo. My heart goes out to the people of Berlin. My heart goes out to anyone who lost someone they loved in these hard times. Help each other when you can, however you can. Support each other. Show these people that we are stronger than them and that they don't stand for anything. Please all of you stay safe and strong. This year has been hard on everyone and these attacks on people who celebrate life and humanity - whether it was Nice or Berlin - are nothing but disgusting cowardice. Please enjoy your holidays, whether it be Christmas or Hanukkah or whether you're just enjoying the days off. Keep your loved ones close and stay strong.

Hi! Do you happen to kno who "cinnamon roll" and th one not called Frederick are in the tag urself meme?

Oh, that’s Frederick/Friedrich III. He was king of Prussia and the second of the three Kaisers of the German Reich.Many people had great hopes for him because he was considered really progressive and liberal, but he was very ill when he became Kaiser and unfortunately died of cancer after only 99 days - Germans often call him the “99-Tage-Kaiser”. (99-Days-Kaiser)
