Einflussmöglichkeiten von Mitgliedern des Herrscherhauses auf das politische Geschehen am Beispiel des Films „Kronprinz Rudolf“ von Robert Dornhelm

Abstract

The following paper is about members of the dynasty trying to influence the political events. As will be shown heir apparents often did not agree on decisions of the monarch. The focus of this paper lies on Crown Prince Rudolf and analyses the film “Kronprinz Rudolf”, directed by Robert Dornhelm in 2006. Rudolf tried to gain influence by writing newspaper articles. As will be shown his efforts were unsuccessful. Dornhelm’s film communicates a quite realistic impression on Rudolf’s intentions.
