As of today, the Great Elector’s fleet has been referred to in historiography as “the navy”. However, this was not a scientific objective, but rather a political purpose. The protagonists of the Brandenburg fleet, especially Benjamin Raule (1634-1707), considered warships important, not as an end in themselves, but for the protection of Brandenburg’s merchant ships and for the business of privateering. For this re-examination of the Brandenburg fleet, the identification of a previously unknown painting and the analysis of the content of a frequently cited painting as a source are of great importance. Furthermore, the review of the written sources also supports the new view. However, the unchanged use of terms of modern institutions for historical institutions and concepts must also be questioned.
