King of Prussia

King Frederick William II and his Ministers have initiated the plan Zollverein.

Zollverein is a project reflecting upon customs union in Prussia. Its provisions will be to completely abolish taxes on goods traded within the country. It will later be expanded to create a free-trade area throughout much of Germany. This will unite the people and make Prussian internal Industry stronger and commerce cheaper.

The great economist Friedrich List is accredited with playing a large role in the enactment of Zollverein and the abolishing of nearly 1,800 taxes and tariffs that used to apply in the commerce between Prussian states.

January 1845

Hannover has decided to join the Zollverein. After Austria agreed to join in due time, and with the Prussian railroad offer, Hannover decided the time was right to join the union. The signing of the treaty allowing Hannover in was signed in Hannover by the Prussian Chief Minister, and his Hannoverian countrepart.
