During the revolutionary days of 1848, when persons of general trustworthiness were widely being sought to assume political positions, there occurred reorganizations of goverment in many of the states of the German Federation. For the first time in German history, public opinion had assumed a major role in the filling of ministerial posts. How and where did this happen – and which persons were considered appropriate for such positions? And how did such chosen few deal with their new responsibilities? These are the questions dealt with in this new study of the long neglected elite group of politicians who shaped the revolutionary time in the mid-1800s. German text.
