![]() ![]() And the answer was that Prussia was the steering, shaping and sometimes manipulative power that would bring the German nation into existence. Just as we today tend to see the rise of the Third Reich in 1933 as the end of an era and explain how Germany got to that point, previous generations tried to explain how German history had got to 1871 and the creation of the German Empire. Prussia's task in history had been to create the German nation. In older historical literature, nationalism was seen as the culmination of Prussian history. Prussian culture, including architecture, blossomed in the 19th century Image: picture-alliance/ ZB Prussia was a relatively enlightened, progressive state that inadvertently destroyed itself when it enlisted the force of German nationalism.

So much of what was left of the old Prussian state was in former Communist East Germany, so it was kind of locked away. The fall of the Berlin Wall and German re-unification have triggered a process of re-imagining the German past in general and Prussia in particular.

![]() ![]() Even after his Vigil time-frame is over, Jerry still refuses to sell the chocolates. Then something in Jerry snaps, almost audibly. He’s seen as a nut, then a menace, then as a symbol.
