The great Prussian reformer Friedrich Wilhelm I (1688-1740) by the Huguenot Marthe de Montbail, later Madame de Roucoulle as a governess was managed, the later his son Frederick brought up and learned of her life no German. Friedrich Wilhelm learned a little German, but he did not come very far with it. His conceited son of Frederick II, the so-called "Great" and leaned in principle from German as "barbaric" that he spoke only with his dogs and horses.
Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen (1579-1650) was the French fashion something silly and founded by Kaspar von Teutleben Marshal and the lawyer and author Philip Harsdorffer (1607-1650) the fruitful SOCIETY (1617) for the development and maintenance of the German language. He was encouraged in Florence, where he became a member of the Accademia della Crusca. This language company was founded in 1583, it still exists today (www.accademiadellacrusca.it/).
We still live off of the initiatives that time, the German has spread to Germany and improved.
