 Frederick William IV of Prussia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The constitution also reserved for the king the power of appointing all ministers, reestablished the conservative district assemblies and provincial diets, and guaranteed that the bureaucracy and the military remained firmly in the hands of the king.
A stroke in 1857 left the king partially paralyzed and largely mentally incapacitated, and his brother William served as regent from 1858 until the king's death in 1861, at which point he ascended the throne himself as William I.

 Bruno Bauer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Friedrich Engels and Karl Kautsky claimed Bauer's religious criticism for the socialist movement, while the anti-traditionalist conservatism and anti-Semitism of his late work link him to the revolutionary right in the twentieth century.
The order for Bauer's dismissal came directly from the king of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm IV, who had decreed the suspension from state employment of participants in a banquet to honour the South German liberal Karl Welcker, held in Berlin in 1841.
He defended the 1817 union of the Lutheran and Reformed churches in Prussia as the political overcoming of religious oppositions, whose basis had been eroded by the Enlightenment.

 Composer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Born near Berlin in the year of Mozart's death into a family of cultured interests, Meyerbeer was a pupil of Abt Vogler and near contemporary of his fellow-pupil, Weber.
He made his career in Paris, where he became the most important composer of French grand opera, although retaining wide cosmopolitan connections, in particular as Generalmusikdirektor from 1842 under King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, in whose service he continued after his resignation from his original position in 1848.
Meyerbeer was a man of independent means, a fact that enabled him to exercise considerable care over the composition of operas and the choice of appropriate singers and to exercise some control over the press.

On Jan. 27, 1775, Schelling was born in Leonberg In Baden-Würtenberg, the son of a minster of a Lutheran church there.
In Jena, Schelling became a close friend of Fichte, Schiller, Goethe, August Wilhelm Schlegel (a Romantic poet who translated Shakespeare's plays into German; his brother was a scholar of Indian Studies) and his spouse, Karoline, who acted as a brilliant and intellectual hostess of their salon of Romanticism.
Friedrich Wilhelm IV, the then Prussian ruler, had a strong affinity with Romanticism and wanted to counterbalance Prussia's academic world against the Hegelianism which was still dominant there at that time (after Hegel's death in 1831).

 Friedrich Nietzsche
He excelled academically at Pforta, received an outstanding classical education there, and, having graduated in 1864, went to the University of Bonn to study theology and classical philology.
Despite efforts to take part in the university's social life, the two semesters at Bonn were a failure, owing chiefly to acrimonious quarrels between his two leading classics professors, Otto Jahn and Friedrich Wilhelm Ritschl.
The fundamental chronological edition of Nietzsche's letters by Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari, Briefwechsel: Kritische Gesamtausgabe (1975–), is planned for 20 vol., of which 17 had appeared by 1984, containing the correspondence of 1850–89.
