Heinrich Von Treitschke (1834-1896) was a prolific German historian
and political writer during the nineteenth century. An ardent
admirer of Prussianism, Treitschke was also deeply anti-Semitic and
anti-socialist. This translation by Eden and Cedar Paul of The
Origins of Prussianism, published in 1942 and reissued in 1969,
made Treitschke's 1862 classic essay available in English for the
first time. It is a fascinating account of the thirteenth-century
colonization of Old Prussia by the Teutonic Knights and the
unification of Germany, which highlights his most prominent beliefs
in the value of the State and the superiority of the German race.
Treitschke's essay will fascinate anyone with an interest in the
history of Old Prussia and nineteenth-century German politics and
academic thought.
