The Brandenburg Cabinet formed the Prussian State Ministry appointed by King Frederick William IV from November 8, 1848, to November 6, 1850.[1]
History
With this cabinet, Frederick William IV appointed a clear conservative, anti-revolutionary government. The Prussian National Assembly was initially moved to Brandenburg an der Havel and dissolved on December 5, 1848. The King then imposed a constitution on his own authority. The assumption of office of this cabinet marks the beginning of the "New Era" in Prussia.[1]
