(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Junkers (pronounced YOON-kers) were the landed aristocracy of Prussia. They controlled the military, leading in social status and politics. They owned immense estates, and their peasants worked for starvation wages, with nearly no rights.Regarded as reactionary, and holding a monopoly on military and civilian office, they were ferociously anti- liberal, siding with the forces of reaction during the Revolution of 1848.
The jingoistic leader Otto von Bismarck was a noted Junker, as was Paul von Hindenburg, who relinquished power to Adolf Hitler in 1933.
