The start of diplomatic relations between Germany and China was marked by Prussian interests. Prussia was determined to expand its trade connections to the Far East, aiming towards the import of Chinese goods for the domestic market. These attempts served the purpose to compete with the other European nations like Great Britain, the Netherlands, and France. Prussia mostly succeeded in its undertakings - at least -and managed to lay the foundation for close relations between Germany and China in the late 19th century.

Surprisingly, this aspect of Prussian and German-Chinese history has been largely ignored by most scholars. The current book aims to fill this gap. Bernd Eberstein gives a nuanced image of Prussia and its foreign-policy and foreign economic motivations. The divergent economic, cultural and political relations between China and Prussia - beginning in the 17th century, ending with the foundation of the German Reich in 1871 - are subject of the publication. The book is based on archival research conducted in Germany and also takes numerous Chinese sources from the 18th and 19th century into account.
