Second Prussian Ministerial Commission

Karl Albert von Kamptz ,
Chairman of the Ministerial Commission

The Second Prussian Ministerial Commission , founded on July 23, 1833, was a police state committee that served to prosecute demagogues and to uncover secret political connections. This ministerial commission, which the King confirmed on July 25, 1833, was completely independent in its arrangements; neither the laws nor the decisions of the courts were authoritative for them. Between 1833 and 1836 alone, the commission investigated more than 1,000 suspects. The Prussian Ministerial Commission was only dissolved after Friedrich Wilhelm IV ascended to the throne .
