S01E14: Philipp Friedrich Alexander, Prince of Eulenburg and Hertefeld, and Count of Sandels (1847-1921)

Philipp von Eulenburg was the typical stuffy aristocrat, old-fashioned, classist, antisemitic, and racist, who disliked parliamentary systems. He formed the Liebenberg Circle, a clique of friends like him, meaning nobles and homosexuals, to advise, or rather, influence, Kaiser Wilhelm II. However, people were somewhat tired of nobles and, on top of that, homosexuals. The scandal made its way into the press and the courts, and overall, homophobia ran rampant in what became known as the Eulenburg Affair. Quite a drama... but it had its waltzes and all, and here's the playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0rFmKreJSz80PWgitqKcFG?si=FuPAw04SQH605_2YkSgnuA
