Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Eulenburg was born in Wicken near Bartenstein to Botho Heinrich zu Eulenburg (1804 1879) and Therese née von Dönhoff (1806 1882). He studied law at the universities of Königsberg and Bonn. Eulenburg worked in high positions of the Prussian administration in Wiesbaden (1869 1872), Metz (1872 1873) and Hanover (1873 1878). In March 1878 Eulenburg succeeded his first cousin once removed Friedrich Albrecht zu Eulenburg as Minister of the Interior, serving under Bismarck. He implemented a series of repressive anti-socialist measures. From 1881 to 1892 he was the president of the province of Hesse-Nassau. In 1892, he was appointed Prime Minister of Prussia in succession to Leo von Caprivi, who however remained Chancellor of Germany. Though Caprivi had recommended the experienced administrator Eulenburg for this appointment, the new prime minister soon made life difficult for Caprivi, and often thought of pressing for his removal. Both Capriviand Eulenburg were eventually dismissed by Wilhelm II following the renewal of anti-Socialist moves (and an anti-subversion bill) in 1894.
