The Great Elector Welcomes Immigrants - A Historic Moment of Religious Freedom
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant event in German history, dating back to the 17th century. The image depicts "The Great Elector receives immigrants" as part of an album titled "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History). Created by an unknown artist and published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany in 1936. The scene portrays the influential German ruler Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg (1620-1688), welcoming French Protestants who sought refuge in Brandenburg due to religious persecution. This momentous occasion was made possible through the issuance of the Edict of Potsdam by Frederick William. The edict encouraged French Protestants to relocate and find solace within his domain. In this vibrant color photograph, we witness a diverse group arriving on foreign shores with hope and anticipation. Their arrival signifies not only their personal journey but also highlights the significance of religious freedom and tolerance during that era. Through this powerful visual representation, we are reminded of the enduring impact that immigration has had on shaping nations throughout history. It serves as a testament to Germany's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to providing sanctuary for those seeking refuge from oppression. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured by an anonymous creator, let us appreciate the courage displayed by these immigrants while acknowledging their contribution towards building a more inclusive society.
