The Prussian royal seat, and the numbers still march in uniform: the Leutnant bench runs at nearly forty times the German baseline, Generalmajor at thirty, and Prince at fourteen — Sanssouci and the Hohenzollern parade ground written into the demographic record. The postwar pivot is quieter but visible in the Academic and Diplomat lines, the research institutes and the Einstein Tower physics that replaced the crown.
