List of the Prussian envoys in Saxony
This is a list of the Prussian envoys in the Electorate , Kingdom and the Free State of Saxony .
history
Since the late Middle Ages , family ties between the Wettin and Hohenzollern dynasties, established through marriages, as well as an inheritance that was concluded in 1457 and renewed several times in the 16th century, determined the Brandenburg-Saxon relations . From the 17th century onwards , Prussian-Saxon relations were characterized by the increase in political power in Prussia and the accompanying loss of power in Saxony. From 1742 Prussia set up a permanent embassy in Dresden .
The First (1740 to 1742) and Second Silesian War (1745 to 1746), the Seven Years War (1756 to 1763) and the German-German War (1866) formed larger conflicts with a temporary break in diplomatic relations . With the creation of the Prussian Foreign Ministry (1808), the Prussian legation system was restructured . During the German Wars of Liberation (1813-1815) there was a withdrawal of the diplomatic corps, but no formal break in relations.
From the middle of the 19th century, the Prussian legation was located in Palais Moszinska , Mosczinskystraße 5, in today's Seevorstadt-Ost / Großer Garten district . After the establishment of the German Empire (1871), the legation had largely become insignificant before it was dissolved in 1924.
