No, during the Kaiser's "culture war" they were not. What is odd, is that when the Italian masons and socialists stormed Rome, the Kaiser was one of the places that offered to evacuate the Pope. My family left before that, but for similar reasons. Those "old Lutheran's" that were left were pushed out by that time. The resulting religion was (and in many ways still is) a religion of state worship.
It was a very unsettled time. Not even our own times can compare. A tide of red and black revolutions sweeping the globe. Bomb throwers in all major countries blowing up officials, etc.

Funny (not really), what goes around comes around. Now we have bomb wearers in all major countries blowing up officials and innocents too. Maybe it’s gotten worse with time.
