The Sex Scandal That Shook the German Empire #shorts

In the 1890s, anonymous letters began circulating among the highest ranks of the German Empire.

The letters accused nobles, military officers, and members of Kaiser Wilhelm II's inner circle of sexual affairs, homosexuality, and secret debauchery.

The scandal became known as the Kotze Affair, named after court official Leberecht von Kotze, who was suspected of writing the letters.

Although nothing could ever be proven, the accusations destroyed reputations, triggered duels, and exposed the paranoia simmering beneath the glamorous surface of the imperial court.

One of the strangest and most forgotten scandals of Imperial Germany.
