Episode 34 of the “Bonn City Stories” is titled “Princes, Magnificence and Pensioners” and is dedicated to the beginning of the 20th century:
"Wealthy, educated citizens shape society just as much as students. And they often come from the best families. 112 sons of ruling aristocratic families were enrolled in Bonn before 1918. (...) A photo in the university museum shows [Emperor] Wilhelm II as a young man in the dark Going out with the spirit of the corps. Starting in 1877, he spent four semesters in Bonn studying what one might need to govern: law, history, a little mathematics. A comfortable study room was set up for the Hohenzollern princes in the east wing of the Electoral Palace. An academic one Nobody expects them to graduate. After all, professional qualifications are something God gave them in their cradle. The fact that Bonn has become the so-called Prince's University certainly has to do with the manageability of the small town. (...) The beautiful location at the entrance to the The Siebengebirge and the romantic Rhine Valley do the rest to establish Bonn as a 'summer university'."
