One in five Germans would like to see the monarchy restored, according to a survey released on Thursday. Young Germans were even keener on replacing the president with a new Kaiser.
Despite swelling support among the young, most Germans still oppose the idea. 51 percent of all respondents said that having a king or queen would cost too much money. Sixty nine percent said they were completely against the idea.

Wow. Really? No one teaches history any more do they.
Yeah, that’s what the world needs: another generation of fired-up Germans.
What was lost has been restored.
Anyone remember what was said by George III following the American Revolution? He stated: “ The world has been turned upside-down.” He was talking about the “ancien regime” with monarchs supported by the elites, who were all supported by the labors of the peasants. Some have been working for the restoration of that particular order eversince.
This makes me smile. I very much want to see the return of the Hohenzollerns.
If the Germans had kept the Kaiser, there would be no Hitler.
Which costs Americans more - the Queen or the current consort to King Obama?
When the Nazis took power, they absolutely forbade the exiled Kaiser to return to Germany & he died in exile in a house provided by his friend, Queen Wilhelmina of Holland.
Kaiser Bill respected Dutch neutrality in WWI. When he died, the occupying Germans placed a guard of honor around the Doorn house. Hitler ordered it immediately withdrawn.
Crown Prince Ruprecht remained a popular choice for monarch well after WWII. Where are his descendants?
“Yeah, thats what the world needs: another generation of fired-up Germans”
If it kicks Islam out of Europe then that is exactly what the West needs.
Well the ones they kick out can't come here. America already has too many ragheads as it is.
Heil dir im Siegerkranz!
We sure could use some right now.
I object to the term “ragheads” as it reflects poorly on Sikhs, who I like quite well.
Regarding the Middle Eastern types who the term is presumably directed at, see tagline.
So noted.
My ancestors were poor, but extremely good looking. The men in my family regularly served as male versions of concubines to queens and princesses in Europe. In Germany, the female royalty called them “Der Gross Leibe Panzers”. The male aristocracy had several names for them that all roughly translate to “Randy Sons-Of-B**ches”. The men in my family all have the ability to dress while running from palace guards. We aren’t royalty, but we’ve been as close to royalty as you can get. Vive l’amour!
Not sure, they are in a list somewhere which is being kept. My family were German emigre’s before the First War - never supported Hitler. Were appalled by how it all turned out under Weimar and very thankful they got out.
...and 4 out of 5 don't have a clue of the horrific lesson Germany received in the 20'th century. It must be the compulsory state-run education doing its numbing work.
