The Prussian Army under Frederick William I (1713 - 40) - Preface and Table of Contents
Law No. 46 in the Gazette of the Control Council in Germany of 31.03.1947 decreed the dissolution of the state of Prussia. Thus Prussia officially came to an end; however, it is disputed whether the Prussian state had not already been lost within the German Reich and whether the victors' dictate after the Second World War therefore served only as political window dressing. The clarification of the question whether it was in 1871 or 1947 that the short and eventful Prussian history, full of light and shadow, came to an end is ultimately idle; the historical fact is that Prussia no longer exists today. In this respect the Prussian state, which entered European history relatively late, shares the fate of many extinct polities; notable, however, is that — although the Prussian state no longer exists and thus belongs to the past — it still excites passions today and remains a controversial object of interest. The turn to this chapter of German history was reinforced and updated by the major Prussia exhibition in 1981 and by the 200th anniversary of Frederick the Great's death. Even in the former GDR the Prussian tradition was rediscovered and politically instrumentalized before reunification. The attention with which Prussia is still regarded is evident in many forms. Alongside the opening of various — in particular locally oriented — museums, an unabated flood of printed works on this subject continues to inundate the book market. It is striking that, both in the civilian and in the military sphere, the father, Frederick William I, always stands in the shadow of his brilliant son. While the number of biographies about Frederick the Great has become almost unmanageable, for a long time there was a lack of a comprehensive — scholarly — life description of Frederick William I from the viewpoint of more recent historiography 1).
