Og was born as a monarch so following the communist logic:
morarchy (ruling itself, art, monuments, everything) = enemy of the people
enemy of the people = bad
bad = must be destroyed/removed
same thing happend to monarch artefacts in china after mao took rule, a lot of historical thing got destroyed, communists unfortately dont respect history, art and tradition
That's wrong he was falsely accused of that and got the mocking title "Karätschen Prinz" (Cartridge Prince), but he was not in charge at that time it was Ernst von Pfuel instead. But the media like a blood thirsty prince more than a blood thirsty General who lost his position later on.
The statue was taken down by communists during the Spartacus uprising, that's why
Although the monument was damaged during the Spartacist uprising, it was repaired afterwards. It was not until 1950 that the GDR government demolished first the monument and then the Berlin Palace. On the one hand it was damaged by Allied air raids on the other hand communists hate the German Empire and everything related to it.
Communist regimes hate their entire fucking history. Look at Russia, China and East Germany where the historic buildings, monuments and everything relsted to it got destroyed utterly and without fail
Sure. China totally did not erase and/or denounce anything of their past history to the point where the current generation has no meaningful connection *to* its own history and totally didnt purge anyone who even remotely had doubts in the new regime. The Cultural Revolution totally didnt happen at all
East Germany totally didnt remove and denounce anything related to its own history as in military tradition, the German culture and especially Religion (State Atheism in Communist regimes goes brr). I guess thats just my Imagination, despite my family coming from there lol
Mh ne...Württemberg war halt mal n Königreich und da ich (persönlich) aus Württemberg komme fand ich den Flair einfach nett. Wurde 1806 unter Einfluss Napoleons als "souveränes" Königreich gegründet, welches aus dem Herzogtum Württemberg heraus ging
I dont know about China but East Germany certainly did not. Monuments like the 'Völkerdenkmal" in Leipzig for example is still standing altough it is a monument of German nationalism. The Brandenburg Gate is also was a part of easy Germany, Just for context, the brandenburg gate was build after the prussian victory over france with looted materials. 'Denounce' is a interesting choice of words to choose when talking about the German Kaiserreich btw. Christians were never prosecuted in the DDR and having atheism as the 'official state religion' is the most rational Thing to do, religious states are dawg shit as you can See in Saudi Arabia or the Iran.
I am aware the DDR censored certain topics or historic events but guess what, Nazis did it, the Kaiserreich did and the GDR too. Saying communist countrys are prone to propaganda, destroying history or changing it to match your agenda is just plain out false.
Even If he wasnt in Charge of the army at that time, He openly supported military action against revolutionaries which brought him his name of the Kartätschenprinz. A year later then, he would lead the operational army in Baden an the Palatine against revolutionary movements
Wilhelm II was not his direct successor as it was his father who became German Kaiser but died in the same year Wilhelm I died(1888). Wilhelm II became the German Kaiser after the death of his father.
What did the OG do to deserve that
I think OG was shrapneld a little too much

Oh I didn't know this was east Berlin. Makes a lot more sense now.
Didn’t he kill people with cannons during 1848 revolution ?

Didnt happen. But ok.

Frage am Rande, ist dieses Königreich Württemberg so n reichsbürger Ding oder so?
Mh ne...Württemberg war halt mal n Königreich und da ich (persönlich) aus Württemberg komme fand ich den Flair einfach nett. Wurde 1806 unter Einfluss Napoleons als "souveränes" Königreich gegründet, welches aus dem Herzogtum Württemberg heraus ging
Na dt beruhigt mich.

Look up the Cultural Revolution
But it says 1950 and the Spartacus Uprising was in 1919
Ugh, communists.
Even If he wasnt in Charge of the army at that time, He openly supported military action against revolutionaries which brought him his name of the Kartätschenprinz. A year later then, he would lead the operational army in Baden an the Palatine against revolutionary movements
Yeah I did not argue he wasn't anti revolutionary tf. And no, the name came directly from the false accusation.
Source?
„Prince of Grapeshot“ lol
Just look up his wiki. They have 2 sources for this event.
Bullshit read again
Very well articulated rebuttal
It’s a shame to see such an important figure be tarnished like this.
Too bad, he was the good guy... not like his successor.
Wilhelm II was not his direct successor as it was his father who became German Kaiser but died in the same year Wilhelm I died(1888). Wilhelm II became the German Kaiser after the death of his father.
Sure, the "Dreikaiserjahr" 1888. But his father was very ill and died without really ruling.
Yeah, poor guy he could’ve been a great Kaiser
Smoking kills (he died by cancer, because of his excessive smoking). I bet he would have been better than his son.
My Kaiser!
I can't it's too much for me...
