Royal Prussian Statistical Bureau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Royal Prussian Statistical Bureau was the central statistical authority of the Kingdom of Prussia .

King Friedrich Wilhelm III. ordered the establishment of a Royal Prussian Statistical Bureau , which began its work in Berlin in 1805 . Beginning in the 18th century, there was a significant expansion and institutionalization of official statistics in the 19th century. In Germany, statistical offices were set up in the various sub-states, which are considered the forerunners of the state statistical offices. After a hundred years of existence, the Royal Prussian Statistical Bureau was renamed the Royal Prussian State Statistical Office in 1905 .

After the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the proclamation of the republic , the Royal Prussian State Statistical Office became the Prussian State Statistical Office in November 1918 . It was now the central statistical authority of the Free State of Prussia . During the Nazi centralization of official statistics , the Prussian State Statistical Office was disbanded as an independent authority and in the on 14 October 1934 Statistical Reichsamt incorporated.

It is a direct forerunner of today's State Office for Data Processing and Statistics North Rhine-Westphalia .
