Georg Friedrich von Peußen

I found this video of HIRH Georg Friedrich von Preußen, heir to the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire, on YouTube. It's a mix of Dutch, German, and English, but for all you English speakers out there HIRM speaks quite a bit of English during this interview. Enjoy!

It's quite depressing that he isn't interested in restoration, (And at one point I believe, straight-up endorsed the current government of Germany) but it is rather nice to know that despite his political views, he takes pride in his family's history.

"Wie gehts? Ich habe eine frage.

Perhaps you can answer it?

I also see that you are also a golfer. It seems we have that in common as well.

The question is, do you know of any farmland in Austria that was owned around the early 1900's by a Prince Hohenzollern?

A relative leased some of it from him, and I am doing some reconnecting with my family's roots in that part of the world.

Any info would be outstanding and greatly appreciated.

I can be reached at (edited).

Please do not post my #, but feel free to call me at it, at your earliest convenience.

Vielen Dank!

In answer to your question, no I don't know anything regarding the land in Austria, sorry.

Have you done much research on the status of the Habsburgs are these days? I think Charles Habsburg will end up being canonized, what a boost for monarchists!

I think the Prince simply does not see any chances of restoration, that’s why he seems not interested.

After all having a republic is somewhat like heroin addiction. You would never see an addict given up his addiction just like that, right?

Interesting analogy--republicanism is like a heroin addiction. It appears to be good from the beginning, but slowly eats away at you from the inside.
