 Frederick William IV of Prussia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Frederick William IV of Prussia (October 15, 1795 - January 2, 1861), the eldest son and successor of Frederick William III of Prussia, reigned as King of Prussia from 1840 to 1861.
The modern biography is David E. Barclay, Frederick William IV and the Prussian Monarchy 1840-1861 (Oxford, 1995).
Rather then returning to bureaucratic rule after dismissing the national assembly, Frederick William promulgated a new constitution that created a parliament with two chambers, an aristocratic upper house and an elected lower house.

 Frederick William IV, King of Prussia by Frederick Engels
Hence Frederick William is also not absolutely illiberal and despotic in his endeavours — God forbid — he wants to allow his Prussians all possible freedoms, but actually only in the form of unfreedom, monopoly, and privilege.
The state which Frederick William IV is striving to establish is, according to his own words, the Christian state.
They may serve as proof of how intensely Frederick William IV is striving to re-introduce Christianity directly into the state, and to institute state legislation on the basis of the precepts of biblical morality.

This led him into those unavailing struggles which embroiled him with his Ministers, rendered him obnoxious to the Liberal party, compromised the dignity of the Crown, and the tranquillity of the country, and grievously embittered the later years of his life.

Frederick William quickly disappointed the great hopes aroused by his accession in 1840, for he was by no means willing to fulfill the constitutional aspirations of the Liberals.
In the aftermath of the failed revolution, Frederick William followed a reactionary course.
A Prussian general and adjutant and political adviser to King Frederick William IV, he consistently pursued a conservative policy defending the old order, especially after the abortive 1848 revolution.

 Joseph Maria von Radowitz
In November 1847 he persuaded Frederick William to support reform, and four months later he was in Vienna to negotiate the issue with Metternich.
He developed a close and lasting friendship with the crown prince who, as Frederick William IV, often relied on his counsel and service in matters of state.
They have portrayed Radowitz as an impractical idealist who failed in 1849 to move Frederick William IV decisively beyond his Romantic attachment to divine-right kingship and the Habsburg's historic place in the German Reich.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Joseph Maria von Radowitz
Notwithstanding the secret opposition of Austria and the open opposition of the States of central Germany, his duties as military attaché led him to examine the constitution of the German confederation, the immediate reform of which he declared to be a necessity if Germany were to be preserved from a revolution.
He was willing that Austria should merely be connected with the German states in a "new confederation", thus he was among those who elected Frederick William IV as German Emperor, March, 1849, though the king had declined the election.
He was sent on this business to Vienna and Paris, but before he was able to accomplish anything Metternich was overthrown in March, 1848, and Frederick William IV, after granting a parliamentary constitution, called a Liberal ministry.

This is the first full-scale study in English of the reign of Frederick William IV, King of Prussia from 1840 to 1861, and arguably the most important German monarch in the century between the death of Frederick the Great and the accession of William II.
Although Frederick William has long been criticized as a Romantic reactionary who was utterly out of touch with his times, this study reaches different conclusions, arguing that he was in fact a modern and in many ways, 'successful' monarch.

First, it reveals the attitudes of intellectuals disaffected with the reactionary regime of Frederick William IV.
It also demonstrates the political choices that early nineteenth-century German academics were forced to make — whether to support or to criticize the existing regime — and the consequences of those (in Bauer’s case, negative) choices on their careers and their lives.
Bauer’s career is historically significant for a number of reasons.
