User:Diepizza/Ministry of the Duchy of Schleswig

The Ministry of the Duchy of Schleswig was a ministry established 9 March, 1851. The ministry was a replacement for both the German (Schleswig-Holstein-Lauenborgian) Chancery and the Schleswig-Holstein Government at Gottorf Castle. The ministry was also a replacement for the short-term authorities during and after the First Schleswig War. It was the central authority for the whole of Southern Jutland, except for cases involving the common affairs of the monarchy. These cases were therefore dealt with by the Ministry for the Monarchy's Joint Internal Affairs.
