Admiral state

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the 19th century, the term Admiralstaat was understood to mean a federal state of the German Confederation that was supposed to be responsible for the upkeep of a German navy . In contrast to the land forces, there was no provision in the federal act for their presentation .

history

From 1841 to 1842, several German newspapers suggested or demanded that Denmark (or the Netherlands ) should provide the German Confederation's non-existent navy as the “Admiral State”. Orla Lehmann , head of the " Eider-Danish " movement, refused. In Denmark the idea was received with a negative response because it was seen as an attempt to incorporate the entire Danish state into the German Confederation.

After Prussia had acquired the Jade area in 1853 in order to establish a presence for its fleet outside the Baltic Sea , the Kingdom of Hanover opposed it in 1855 by claiming the role of an admiral state in the North Sea . At that time, however, unlike Prussia, Hanover had no naval forces of its own.
