The Hohenzollern Cabinet formed the Prussian State Ministry appointed by Prince Regent Wilhelm I from November 6, 1858, to March 11, 1862.

History

The transfer of government duties to William I by the ill King Frederick William IV resulted in a change of political course. The newly installed government consisted of liberal-conservative representatives of the Wochenblatt Party. The term in office is referred to as the "New Era", in which, in a certain departure from the reactionary era, public life was liberalized and the government cooperated more closely with the liberal chamber majority. However, the de facto head of the cabinet was not the Prime Minister, but the liberal former Prime Minister of 1848, Rudolf von Auerswald. As a minister without a portfolio, he was de facto deputy to the Prime Minister. In the spring of 1862, the Army reform escalated the Prussian constitutional conflict with the liberal chamber majority over the state parliament's co-determination in military affairs and fundamentally over the ( Error: {{Langx}}: transliteration of latn script (help)) of Prussia, which led to the government's resignation and the end of the New Era.
