- Abstract
In the year 1774 the Peace of Küçük Kaynarca instituted a new order in Europe, the Russian Empire gaining a dominant place in the Balkans and especially in the Romanian Principalities. This also opened the door for other European states to intervene in the region and possibly take over some territories from an Ottoman Empire which was increasingly becoming the "Sick Man of Europe." Prussia, without having a common border with the Romanian Principality of Moldavia, which at the time still included what is nowadays Bessarabia, showed great interest in this region. The year 1784 saw the establishment of Prussia's first official Representative Office in Iaşi, Professor Ernst Friedrich König representing Frederick II of Prussia in Moldavia. The central issue of the paper revolves around the nature of the relationship between Moldavia and Prussia between the years 1774 and 1812 and the way in which it was presented in Prussian publications.
