In this virtual exhibition, the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage illuminates the self-image of the Prussian kings, who now had to find their way into their new role as German Emperors, as well as the social consequences of tenement building, the development of the economy or the increasing militarisation of society.

Fashion, lifestyle and the archives? That is not a contradiction. The reality of life in past eras is continuously reflected in the written records kept in the Hessische Landesarchiv. This also documents the fashion of days gone by. The online exhibition will attempt to look into the minds of contemporaries via the clothing and accessories of past centuries in order to get beyond the shell into the intentions and world views behind it.
