This richly illustrated volume portrays Prussian princesses, in particular the daughters and daughters-in-law of King Frederick William III and his wife Luise. How did their lives unfold between courtly duties and private inclinations? What still reminds us of them today? Rudolf G. Scharmann describes their origins and character, their relationships with their husbands, the glittering court parties and the gifts they received from their wide-ranging relatives. At the same time, he asks what it meant to settle into a new home and family and what scope for self-realisation the women had at the time.
With numerous colour illustrations of portraits, furniture and works of art, including those from the palaces of Charlottenburg, Sanssouci, Paretz, Glienicke, Charlottenhof, Babelsberg, the Orangery Palace in Potsdam and the palace on Peacock Island.
