| | Prussia |
 | | Prussia's democratic constitution was suspended in 1932 as a result of a coup by Germany's conservative Chancellor Franz von Papen, marking the effective end of German democracy. | | | In 1934 the Nazi regime abolished the autonomy of all the German states. | | | These expulsions, together with the nationalisation of land by the Communist regime in the German Democratic Republic, destroyed the junkers as a class and marked the effective end of Prussia as a social and political entity; the GDR bueraucracy is seen by many as a "Red" continuation of the Prussian tradition, however. |

| | The government was not responsible to the Prussian Landtag (lower chamber), whose powers were small and whose members were elected by a suffrage system based on tax-paying ability. | | | Early in 1933, Adolf Hitler seized power and made Hermann Goering premier of Prussia; Hitler’s rise had been aided by the Rhenish industrialists. | | | This action not only confirmed an accomplished fact; it was also intended as a blow against the spirit of German militarism and aggression, long held to be connected with Prussia. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Prussia |
| | As Prussia had aided the principalities of central Germany to suppress internal revolts in the spring of 1849, these countries did not at first venture to disagree with Prussia, as appears from the agreement of 26 May with Saxony and Hanover, called the "union of the three kings". | | | According to its provisions Prussia was to be a constitutional kingdom with a diet of two chambers; great power was left to the Crown, which was moreover favoured by obscurities and omissions in the document. | | | In Prussia (1569) they obtained the right to joint feudal possession, and thus gained for the main branch of the family a claim to the Duchy of Prussia. |

| | If that sounds confusing to our readers, then I should - nay, must - state from the outset that I have little or no faith in secular governments or régimes of any stripe. | | | It has been a matter of some curiosity and interest - and occasional hostility - amongst friends and acquiantances of mine that I possess such a passionate interest in, and loyalty to, what is now a defunct state, Prussia (in German, Preussen). | | | I wish to state, quite categorically, that I am neither a nazi sympathiser nor an advocate of the restoration of the Hohenzollern dynasty whose days are permanently over - thank goodness. |
