Prussia Lives!
By Felix Gilbert
"Prussia: Attempt at a Balance"
a Berlin Festival Exhibition, August-December, 1981
Last summer the London Times, Le Monde, even The Wall Street Journal, devoted articles to the 'reawakening of Prussia.' The subject was discussed in every German newspaper from Munich to Hamburg, from Cologne to Berlin. Three hundred recently published books on Prussia were listed in the catalogue of a well-known German book dealer, and the number grows.[1] The center of all this interest in Prussia was a number of remarkable exhibitions in West Berlin which opened on August 15 and closed at the end of the year. The controversy over the Prussian tradition aroused by these exhibitions will no doubt continue for some time.
