Fun fact: Due to the fact, that the dissolution of the federal system was an important step for the nazis to gain power, the german constitution of 1949 included an article that forbid any form of reducing the power of the bundesländer (federal states), which makes it very difficult to reform the police and education systems. these are in full control by the federal states.

[@lawjef]

How is that different to any other Federal system where States control police and education? They vary in their degree of decentralization but it is not uncommon. And saying it is difficult to reform is basically saying you disagree with the policy decisions and the democratic elections of the States’ parliaments.

[@Vitalis94]

It's a sad, but interesting topic. I am from the region, so I know a little bit about the post war situation. Its just East Prussia Im talking here about, of course. It was kinda like the Wild West after the war- before Polish and Russian borders and administration were estabilished, no law existed there in practice. After the war ended, bands of looters went into the region. Sometimes even Polish speaking Mazurians were the subjects of the looting and massacres. Lynches were common - angry Poles beat or clubbed Germans to deaths on the streets because of their grievances. Many were still angry because of the attrocities commited by the Germans and they took revenge on the locals. Most of the settlers came from Poland proper, either Mazovia or Pomerellia(West Prussia), the minority came from the east. My own hometown's populace is mainly descended from the settlers from the Vilnius region in Lithuania. Germans and even Mazurians (Protestant Polish speakers present in Prussia for centuries by that point) were persecuted, children were laughed out at school, called names. Most of the Germans and Mazurians left in the following decades. There were waves of migrations. The first one, immidetely after the war, saw most of the Germans leaving for Germany. Then, they weren't allowed to leave for some time and had to apply to the government for the allowance. Then, in the 50s, and lastly, in the 70s, the remainder of them left. Nowadays there are a few thousand Germans in the whole province, and next to no Mazurians. Modern Masuria is second poorest region of Poland and most of the castles, palaces, and other sings of the region's German history were left in ruins for decades. Not to mention that most of the towns were destroyed during the war. Like destroyed in 60%. My own hometown lacks its beautiful Altstadt/Old town today, and commie blocks stand in their place, because of how ruined it was. And the bricks were mostly sent to help rebuilding Warsaw. Luckily, things are chaning nowadays. Some monuments and palaces are being rennovated, and people are no longer weary of the region's Prussian past, but are embracing it.

Small correction: The German Empire didn't cease to exist with the revolution in 1918. The official name of the Weimar Republic was still "Deutsches Reich" or German Empire. This lasted until 23.May 1949, when the Federal Republic was founded. The official stance of the government at that time was that the Weimar Republic *is* the German Empire, just with a different government and constitution. This is the same stance the Federal Republic takes (if you add a name change on top of it) and the only reason why many international agreements that Germany made are still valid. So _technically_ the German Empire still exists today.

[@douglaslove5381]

Eh, I think originally the Russians (Russian Socialist Republic)wanted to give it to any of the neighboring Warsaw Pact Members/Socialist Republics but no one wanted it. In the end they ended up keeping control. Thus why Russia has it today. Watched a video on why Russia has Kaliningrad. Think they said that at the time no other state wanted to deal with the post war Koningsburg issues or create an exclave. But USSR said fine because Cold War/Warm water. Plus at the time it was surrounded by other soviet controlled states. I don't think it's impossible that Stalin would be in support of a Prussian puppet state to administer that area, further divide the German people, and potentially use it later to influence the rest of Germany post war.

German here. As you probably know, for a long time there was no united Germany, but many small countries that constitute the Holy Roman Empire. Its politics used to be dominated by Austria which was the biggest and most powerful German country. Prussian heartland was much smaller than the map shown in the video in what today is northern Poland. Then, Napoleonic wars happened and since Prussia had sided with Napoleon, they were given huuuuge swaths of land to the west, basically absorbing a lot of smaller countries that had sided against Napoleon. Afterwards, Prussia was constantly busy challenging Austria's dominance over the politics of German countries. It culminated in a war where Prussia surprised Austria with a newly developed gun that gave them military superiority. They seized the opportunity by founding the German country "Norddeutscher Bund" and Austria couldn't contest because they had lost their military dominance. Norddeutscher Bund was basically Prussia plus all the small countries still in existence and over the next few years, Prussia persuaded the Southern German states to join, renaming it the German Empire. Politics in the German Empire were now dominated by Prussia which gave itself huge voting power in parliament and making the Prussian king the German Emperor. After WW II, Stalin wanted to have an even bigger USSR and simply moved Poland westwards, diving the Prussian heartland between Poland and a Russian exclave. TLDR: Today's Germany was founded on Prussian-Austrian rivalry and Prussia seizing the opportunity to kick Austria out of German politics. After WW II, Stalin wiped Prussia off the map.

Control Council Law No. 46 passed on February 25th, 1947: The Prussian State which from early days has been a bearer of militarism and reaction in Germany has de facto ceased to exist. Guided by the interests of preservation of peace and security of peoples and with the desire to assure further reconstruction of the political life of Germany on a democratic basis, the Control Council enacts as follows: Article I The Prussian State together with its central government and all its agencies are abolished. Article II Territories which were a part of the Prussian State and which are at present under the supreme authority of the Control Council will receive the status of Länder or will be absorbed into Länder. The provisions of this Article are subject to such revision and other provisions as may be agreed upon by the Control Council, or as may be laid down in the future Constitution of Germany. Article III The State and administrative functions as well as the assets and liabilities of the former Prussian State will be transferred to appropriate Länder, subject to such agreements as may be necessary and made by the Allied Control Council. Article IV This law becomes effective on the day of its signature. Signed in Berlin on February 25, 1947. Marie-Pierre Kœnig, Army general Vasily Sokolovsky, Marshal of the Soviet Union Lucius D. Clay, General for Joseph T. McNarney, General Brian Robertson, General for Sholto Douglas, Marshal of the Royal Air Force Control Council Law No. 46, signed on 25 February, liquidates the State of Prussia, its central government, and all its agencies. This law is in the nature of a confirming action; the eleven provinces and administrative districts of prewar Prussia have since the beginning of the occupation been split up among the Soviet, British, and American Zones and Poland. This is the document that indisputably ended the existence of Prussia

[@vincentdequiram1102]

@@uditmisra8i226 Yes so it is. Though originally the word Prussian goes back to a Baltic tribe called “Pruzzen” which lived in an area which is since 1945 under polish governance: East Prussia. This area was once taken by the Teutonic Knight Order. My ancestor Henry Walpot btw was the first Highmaster of this order. Anyway… the Pruzzen were converted veeeerryyy slowly to Christianity and many of their nobles became even members of the Teutonic Knights. I say this cause there is the disinformation going around that the Pruzzen would have been wiped out. It’s not true they mixed with the German settlers in medieval times. The royal family of the Hohenzollern were the last Highmasters of the Teutonic Knights and secularized the order to become a worldly state which would be called Prussia. This royal family were as well holding the land of Brandenburg. As the Kingdom grew, more and more territories became a part of Prussia. Like Mecklenburg, Pomerania etc.within the 19th century Prussia expanded the most. So of course it included regions which are inhabited by other German tribes. In my case I’m a descendant of a Teutonic Knights family which were the founders of the old order but we had to escape from our lands to west at the end of WW2 together with millions of other civilian refugees of whom approximately 7-8 million were murdered during the escape. My family came to Berlin which was the former capital not just of the Deutsches Reich but as well of the Kingdom of Prussia, before Potsdam became the residence city under King Friedrich Wilhelm I. I hope I’ve been able to answer your question.
