Hohenzoller and their famous “father-son”/“ruler-heir” conflicts

[little-candy-store-of-horrors]

And at the rate things are going, I fear I am not any way inclined at all! *Laugh track*

The kinsey scale is an outdated oversimplification of human sexuality... that said methinks old fritz was a 5.99 ...wouldst thou agree?

first off: love every single word in this ask and its potent healing powers cleared up my lung infection thanks friend

second off: yeah I think he experiences some very very minor attraction to women, but it’s truly a case-by-case basis (and there’s only, like, two that come to mind). but he’ll fall in lust with any man that has a somewhat working brain and ample swagger. kinsley 5.999999999999

After a lot of internal bitching and moaning, I finally ponied up and tried Fritz's horrific coffee recipe. And yes, it truly was as godawful as I always knew it would be

So you know that Claus Clausen played Hans Hermann von Katte in "Der alte und der junge König" (1935). You may also know that he played Prince Heinrich in "Der große König" (1942) but now I found this: him as young Friedrich 1930 in Königsberg on stage.

He played them all.

There we go, lil' Prussian cookies

[mkalodeas]

I was reading Wikipedia and...

Just found out about this BAMF

Fredrick the Great. King of Prussia.

Listen here, Old Fritz was an amazing ruler. He was more interested in music and philosophy than war.

BUT he has great experience in the art of war and was a brilliant strategist.

Guys. He believed in absolutism, that the ruler should be the first servant of the State.

Guys, It's almost certain Old Fritz was gay.

He died childless.

He lost his reputation because Hitler idolized him and he became a Nazi symbol.

Which is a damn shame because he genuinely built the foundation that allowed Prussia to contest the Austrian Hasburgs leadership.

Guys he made library of poetry.

Guys he wrote "Anti- Machiavel" because he disliked Nicolo Machiavelli's "The Prince".

Old Fritz recieved his title 'the Great' after, at 33 years old, he got Austria to sign the treaty of Breslau & Dresden giving Prussia Silesia. I'm so proud and I'm not even Prussian.

Guys Old Fritz known as the Potato king. He was so clever.

He was against animal cruelty.

He was a francophile I'm crying XD.

He died at 74.

What a guy.

That.

That says "King" right?

Oml. His signature is just King. 😭

Low-key he's my fav. I thought I loved Catherine the Great. No, I'd just never heard about Old Fritz. Still love Miss Catherine but I gotta hand it to the Potato King okay?

Happy super late birthday Fritz! You get a cup of horrid tasting coffee and some doodles

[mattizard]

You know you haven't thought about your fav historical figure in a while when they suddenly appear in your dream.

The dream didn't make that much sense except that Friedrich der Große/Frederick the Great was there and was a nice host to me and my family I guess? And he was real chill, I think we were even good friends in the dream.

And he wasn't sexist! Which means it was 100% a dream lmao

[micromegazz]

i watched mein name ist bach, IT WAS SO UNHINGED WHAT 😭😭

[fritz-on-a-blitz]

I just know Old Fritz would LOVE espresso machines

Imagine your favorite historical figure and the modern invention they would become most obsessed with.
