what role did prussian junkers play in prussian society
NEW RESPONDENT
The Junkers were the descendants of the Teutonic Knights, who in the Middle-age times dominated Prussia.
They were deprived of most of their political power in the seventeenth and eighteens century by the Hohenzollern kings. But nonetheless they were able to acquire vast land estates, retaining local administrative authority, dominating the court , army and civil service. They also were holding most of the ministries and public offices.
The great economic growth, outcome of the industrial revolution, gave birth to a new class of manufacturers, merchants and professionals, who tried to force their way beside throne and Junkers. They were rebuffed by the strong alliance between the king and the reactionary Junkers' élite, whose prominent role was to last until 1918.

What was the belief of the Great Elector concerning the ability of the Junkers to be excellent military commanders?
The Prussian monarchs saw the Junkers as natural military officers in that they "commanded" their own "regiment" of peasant workers. The thought then was that the Junkers could also command the army's rank and file which were in the social structure just as low as the peasant farmers. As military commanders, they had a two step edge over the peasants. Unlike France, where commoners could gain wealth by obtaining lands from the nobles, this was forbidden in Prussia. The Junkers were assured of their positions because only Junkers could own land. The social and economic structure was frozen.
