Abstract

The Prussian Reforms, named after their main initiators the Stein-Hardenberg reforms, were a reaction to Prussia’s defeat against Napoleon in the battle of Jena and Auerstedt in 1806. Extensive losses of territories, costs of war, occupation, and compensation to France of 120 million francs, as well as the attempt to assert itself in the circle of Great Powers, forced the Prussian government since 1807 to carry out modernizations on a grand scale. These modernizations were based on the ideas of the Enlightenment and were part of a pan-European movement (Fehrenbach 2001, p. 115; Lütge 1943, p. 361; Nipperdey 1998, pp. 21, 33; Treue 1995, p. 337).
