Miss Prussia 2010 - The Story of Prussia’s most beloved queen

Do you remember that there once existed a kingdom in Europe called Prussia? It’s capital was Berlin, and it included parts of modern day Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Poland and Russia. The state became abolished alter World War II, since it was seen as the source of all evil. In Germany, people from the south sometimes still use the word Saupreiß (literally: Stupid Prussian) to refer to inhabitants of the North. But that doesn’t mean that all history should be forgotten. This year, it is the 200th anniversary of the death of Prussia’s most beloved queen: Luise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1776 – 1810). In her honor, the Charlottenburg Palace presents the exhibition ‘Luise. The Life and Legend of the Queen’.

Luise was said to be extraordinary beautiful, and when she was 17 years old she married the crown prince of Prussia: William Frederich III. Their life was far from easy, since at the time of her reign Prussia was at war with France. They had to move from place to place, while the Prussian army was fighting Napoleon. Luise had 10 children, of whom 3 died in childhood. Her daughter Charlotte was to become the next Empress of Russia.
