The head of the Catholic department Adalbert Kraetzig the Ministry of Culture had formerly been staff at Radziwill and Bismarck said he was still as good as a Radziwill'scher serf. This argument from the merger of Polish nationalism with ultramontanism Bismarck served afterwards as a justification for the culture war.
