History

With this cabinet, Frederick William IV appointed a clear conservative, anti-revolutionary government. The Prussian National Assembly was initially moved to Brandenburg an der Havel and dissolved on December 5, 1848. The King then imposed a constitution on his own authority. The assumption of office of this cabinet marks the beginning of the "New Era" in Prussia. [1]
