Crown Prince of Prussia

The Crown Prince of Prussia refers to the heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Prussia, which was part of the German Empire until the end of World War I in 1918. The title was traditionally held by the eldest son of the reigning king. The role was significant in Prussian and German history, especially during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when Prussia was a leading state in German unification and military power. Notable figures include Wilhelm II, who ruled as Emperor of Germany until his abdication after the war.
