Prussian House of Lords. The Prussian House of Lords, also known as the Preußisches Herrenhaus, was the upper house of the Landtag of Prussia, the parliament of the Kingdom of Prussia. It was established in 1850, following the Revolution of 1848 and the adoption of the Prussian Constitution of 1850, which was influenced by Otto von Bismarck, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels. The Prussian House of Lords played a significant role in the Unification of Germany under the leadership of William I, German Emperor and Chancellor of Germany Otto von Bismarck, with notable events including the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War.

The Prussian House of Lords was composed of members appointed by the King of Prussia, including Prince Frederick of Prussia, Prince Charles of Prussia, and Prince Albert of Prussia, as well as representatives of the Noble estates and the Evangelical Church in Prussia.
