Biography
Prussian statesman who assisted in the liberal reforms in Prussia during the Napoleonic Wars. In 1816, Schön was appointed governor of West Prussia, and eight years afterwards of the whole Province of Prussia. Under his administration many reforms were made. Schön was made Minister of State, but his ideas for a constitution were too advanced for Friedrich Wilhelm IV, and he found it expedient in 1842 to retire from political life. Schön's memoirs and correspondence were published by his son under the title of Aus den Papieren des Ministers und Burggrafen von Marienburg Theodor von Schön (1875–83). He died 23 July 1856.
