Prussia 2001
Exactement il y a 300 ans de Prusse a obtenu le roi, ou, d'autre, le roi s'est imposé à la Prusse

Janvier 18, 1701 Friedrich III, électeur de Brandenburg (11.07.1657 - 25.02.1713), s'est couronné comme roi en Prusse. Aujourd'hui, exactement 300 ans après cet événement exceptionnel, les têtes de gouvernement de Berlin et Brandenburg, M.. Diepgen et M.. Stolpe, officiellement ouvert les célébrations à l'occasion dans le théâtre de Berlin sur Gendarmenmarkt. Pendant 2001, plus de 100 musées et établissements culturels tiendront une série d'expositions sur la matière de la Prusse et de son histoire. Des expositions seront accompagnées des festivals dans les châteaux et les villages.

l'"Prusse 2001" est coordonnée par le service éducatif de musée de Berlin à la société avec l'association de musée de Brandenburg et l'association des musées de Berlin.

Maintenant, de nouveau à l'histoire...  

43-year-old l'électeur Friedrich III ne pourrait pas attendre pour devenir le roi. Décembre 17, 1700 il a commencé une action colossale -- 300 chariots et véhicules, accompagné de 200 personnes, tout portées par 30000 chevaux -- et l'ensemble au loin à Koenigsberg, l'endroit de son couronnement. En janvier 18, 1701 tout étaient prêts -- des trumpeters, batteurs, cloches. The King-to-be created a scenario for his own coronation. The people of Koenigsberg saluted Friedrich and his wife Sophie Charlotte as their King and Queen. Friedrich put the crown onto his own head and after that let the bishops whom he had appointed specially for this occasion bless him and his reigning. Only with the bishops' blessing the kingship was considered to be given by God. Thus Friedrich III became Friedrich I King in Prussia. He dared not call himself King of Prussia because some parts of Prussia were still dominated by Poland.
The coronation took place in the morning, and Friedrich appeared in the hall of the Koenigsberg palace as a real king. He wore a scarlet dress with diamond buttons and a purple silk mantle adorned with golden crowns and eagles. All this was fastened with a magnificent three-diamond buckle. After the self-coronation, he called for his wife in order to crown her a Queen. She came in a gorgeous golden dress all shining with diamonds, with a wonderful pearl bouquet fastened onto the dress, and wearing the purple mantle with crowns and eagles similar to her husband's. She kneed before the King, and he put the crown onto her head. Sophie Charlotte, being a very aristocratic and highly intellectual woman, perceived the whole event as a farce, and it was painful and awkward for her to take part in it.

Not seeing, or not willing to see the Queen's sufferings, the King continued his performance. The servants brought the first and best piece of roasted ox and two rummers of wine for the royal couple. The feast began. Golden and silver coins to the sum of 6000 thalers were scattered among the crowd. The first day of the celebration finished with the beautiful fireworks and illumination. The whole celebration continued till spring and finished in Berlin. Afterwards it occurred that the event cost the King a pretty penny, that is a pretty thaler. The full cost was six million thalers! Considering the fact that the King's yearly income was four million only, it was nothing but spendthrifting.

Europe recognized the new kingdom. One by one Polish King August II, German Kaiser, rulers of Denmark, England, Russia, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and others greeted the new King. French, Swiss and Spanish rulers later joined the others in recognizing and welcoming King Friedrich I in Prussia. Brandenburg became the central province of the Prussian kingdom, all institutions and the army were referred to as royal.
