Constantin Frantz (* September 12, 1817, in Börnecke; † May 2, 1891, in Blasewitz) was a German philosopher, publicist, mathematician, and politician. He was temporarily involved in the diplomatic service of Prussia. He became known as a political writer with connections to Young Hegelianism and Romanticism. Frantz was a pioneer of a Central European confederation inspired by the Holy Roman Empire and opposed the German Empire, which Bismarck had formed as a nation-state. Throughout his life, he was considered an outsider, later interpreted as a presumed precursor to the Third Reich, and his statements and significance remain controversial.
