Synopsis

This richly illustrated volume portrays Prussian princesses, including especially the daughters and daughters in law of King Frederick Wilhelm III. and his wife Luise. How did her life go between courtly duties and private inclinations? What still reminds of them today? Rudolf G. Scharmann describes origin and character, the relationships with their husbands, the glamorous court festivals, and the gifts they received from their wide-branched relatives. At the same time, he asks what the acclimation to a new home and family meant and what scope for self-realization the women had at that time.
