<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2174929, member: 39&quot;]Nice piece, also because it refers to both the Prince Elector (Kurfürst) and the designated successor. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The title and the country name are somewhat confusing: The Empire (Holy Roman E. of German Nation) ended in 1806, so the electors did not elect any emperor any more, but apparently liked and kept the name ...</p><p><br /></p><p>The country (short version &quot;Kurhessen&quot;) was annexed by Prussia in 1866. Today Hessen is one of the German states. And yes, Kassel is in (Northern) Hessen; Göttingen is in the neighboring state of Lower Saxony. Not far away indeed though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
