State Chancellor of Prussia

[1] The introduction of the office was related to Napoleon's occupation of Prussia as a curtailment of the power of the absolutist throne.

[3] After Hardenberg's death, the office of State Chancellor remained vacant until King Frederick William III when it was headed the Prussian State Ministry itself, with the cabinet minister giving the presentation enjoying formal priority.

Carl Friedrich Heinrich, Graf von Wylich und Lottum became the cabinet minister in 1822.

In 1822, the Prussian State Council had its own president instead of the Chancellor as chairman.

However, he could only advise the King and had no direct executive powers, as he was not an official member of the State Ministry.
