Prologue: The Bismarck Myth in Wilhelmine Germany (1890-1918)
View through CrossRef
Abstract
When, on 20 March 1890, Prince Otto von Bismarck was dismissed as Chancellor of the German Reich and Minister President of Prussia, the German public reacted with surprising indifference to the end of his almost fifty-yearlong career.1 To be sure, Bismarck’s departure from Berlin on 29 March was accompanied by cheering crowds; but neither the Prussian parliament nor the Reichstag voiced any immediate response to the dismissal of one of the most pre-eminent figures in nineteenth-century European politics.2 The daily newspapers, which at first uncritically reported the rumour leaked from government circles that Bismarck’s request to resign had been accepted on grounds of his ill-health, did not express any grief over the Chancellor’s dismissal either.

1 To be sure, Bismarck’s departure from Berlin on 29 March was accompanied by cheering crowds; but neither the Prussian parliament nor the Reichstag voiced any immediate response to the dismissal of one of the most pre-eminent figures in nineteenth-century European politics.
2 The daily newspapers, which at first uncritically reported the rumour leaked from government circles that Bismarck’s request to resign had been accepted on grounds of his ill-health, did not express any grief over the Chancellor’s dismissal either.
