The Prussian Secret Police ( German : Preußische Geheimpolizei ) was the political police agency of the German state of Prussia in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

In 1851 Police Union of German States Was set up by the Police Forces of Austria , Prussia, Bavaria , Saxony , Hanover , Baden , and Württemberg . It has been specifically organized in the wake of the 1848 revolutions which spread across Germany. For the next fifteen years the Union is holding annual meetings to exchange information. Karl Ludwig Friedrich von Hinckeldey , the Police Commissioner of Berlin , was appointed by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV on November 16, 1848. He was a key figure in the development of thesecret police in Prussia as well as the whole union. By 1854, thanks to his close relationship with the king he was appointed Generalpolizeidirektor (General Director of Police). Effectively he was a minister of police independence from the minister of the interior. Von Hinckeldey founded the Berlin political police in Berlin and developed a Prussian information catalog on political opponents, focusing on the revolutionaries involved in the 1848 uprisings. But as he saw Paris and London as the center of political intrigue he was keen to organize the policing of political opponents outside borders of national jurisdictions.

The political culture of Germany as of the early 21st century is known for the popular expectation of governments and social responsibility , business and labor corporatism and a multiparty system dominated by conservative and social democratic forces, with a strong influence of smaller Green , liberal and socialist parties. Coalition gouvernements are predominant on Both the federal and the state level exemplifying the German desire for consensus politics INSTEAD of one party majority rule as in Democracies That follow the Westminster model. Although this consensus is in favor of political participation and political decision making. Political decision making is more complicated by the powers held by the German states and the presence of a judicial branch with the power to review and dismiss legislation. Therefore political power in Germany is not concentrated in the hands of one or a small number of individuals but spread thinly. Even the Chancellor can only set the general guidelines for federal policies ( Richtlinienkompetenz ) and has to negotiate with many other politicians and interest groups when there is a need to take concrete measures.
