The Conservative Party (German: Konservative Partei) was a political party in Prussia which was founded in 1848 by the relatively loose cooperation of conservative associations, groups and members of parliament. [1]
In 1866 the Free Conservative Party (known as the German Reich Party in the Reichstag from 1871) split from the Conservatives, who were then called Old Conservatives. [2] In 1876 the Conservative Party merged with the newly founded German Conservative Party. [3]
