who is Prince Adalbert of Prussia
what were Prince Adalbert’s contributions to the Prussian Navy
- Unified German Fleet: Prince Adalbert was instrumental in founding the first unified German fleet, the Reichsflotte, during the Revolutions of 1848. He presented his recommendations in a “Memorandum on the Construction of a German Fleet” (Denkschrift über die Bildung einer deutschen Flotte) in 1848, which emphasized the importance of a strong naval defense force for national security and commerce.
- Prussian Navy Establishment: Adalbert helped establish the Prussian Navy by advocating for the construction of a naval base on the North Sea. He arranged the Jade Treaty of July 20, 1853, which led to the establishment of the fortress, naval base, and city of Wilhelmshaven in 1854.
- Admiral of the Prussian Coast and Commander-in-Chief: On March 30, 1854, Prince Adalbert was named Admiral of the Prussian Coast and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. He oversaw the development of the Prussian Navy and led several naval operations, including the Second Schleswig War of 1864.
- Naval Strategy: Adalbert was a strong advocate for a balanced naval strategy that would not provoke the great sea powers like Britain but would provide significant value as an ally. He distinguished between three fleet models: defensive, offensive, and independent naval power, favoring the middle solution.
- Training and Operations: Prince Adalbert was involved in several naval operations, including a training cruise in 1856 during which he was shot at by pirates near Morocco’s coast. He also commanded the Baltic Squadron during the Second Schleswig War.
These contributions demonstrate Prince Adalbert’s dedication to the development of the Prussian Navy and his vision for a strong naval defense force that would support Prussia’s national interests.
