[Machine Translation] In the 19th century, after a long period of rivalry, the Hohenzollerns of Prussia finally united Germany to form an empire and become one of the most powerful nations in Europe. Without Friedrich the Great and Bismarck - two outstanding figures - this feat would not have been possible. The light and darkness, luck, misfortune, and passionate human drama of the turbulent 217 years of the empire's history are presented here along with colorful masterpieces of art.
