Eduard Heinrich von Flottwell (23 July 1786 – 28 May 1865) was a Prussian Staatsminister. He served as the Oberpräsident of Brandenburg, the Grand Duchy of Posen (1830-40), Westphalia, and Saxony. He was also Prussian minister of finance (1844-1846) and the minister of interior (1850-1859).
Flottwell was born in Insterburg in East Prussia. He was a strong supporter of Germanisation and standardised schooling policies, which by some was seen as directed against ethnic Polish Prussians in the region. In 1843 in "Anerkennung der Hilfe nach dem großen Hamburger Brand" (acknolwedgement after the great Hamburg fire), he was named an honorary citizen of Hamburg. [1]
