===Prussia=== * Huguenot refugees in [[Prussia]] are thought to have contributed significantly to the development of many new industries, such as the textile industry. One notable example was [[Marthe de Roucoulle]], governess of Prussian kings [[Frederick William I of Prussia|Frederick William I]] and [[Frederick the Great]]. * Many prominent Germans descent from the Huguenots, such as the poets [[Theodor Fontane]] and [[Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué]], or the politician [[Lothar de Maiziere]]. * Berlin in particular was heavily influenced by the Huguenots, who made up more than 20% of the city at their peak. Several institutions, companies, city neighbourhoods and words in the Berlin dialect trace their roots back to the Huguenots.<ref>Gerhard Fischer: Die Hugenotten in Berlin. Hentrich & Hentrich Verlag, Berlin 2010, ISBN 978-3-941450-11-0</ref> The neighbourhood of Moabit for instance was named by the Huguenots after the biblical Moab, to represent finding refuge in a foreign land.<ref>{{cite web |title=History of Moabit |url=https://www.berlin.de/ba-mitte/ueber-den-bezirk/ortsteile/moabit/ |website=Bezirk Mitte Berlin |access-date=3 April 2025}}</ref>
