A multitude of prestigious family names, such as the surname Dutschke, were formed in the lands which became the modern German state of
Prussia, which is renowned for its beauty, industry and military power. However, in the medieval era,
Prussia was fragmented and inhabited by numerous barbarian tribes, who fought amongst themselves for control of the land. The borders of the barbarian kingdoms, which were established after the fall of the
Roman Empire, changed repeatedly. The region that came to be known as
Prussia was roughly divided between the territories of
Brandenburg-Prussia,
West Prussia and
East Prussia. The Dutschke family emerged in Brandenburg-Prussia, which is essentially the birthplace of modern
Germany. By the 19th century,
Brandenburg-Prussia had incorporated
East Prussia,
West Prussia and many other German territories. Moreover, in the late 19th century, it led the German states in the unification of Germany.
