This magnificent example of Prussia's educational prowess greatly adds to national prestige.

Pride in one's nation is a powerful thing, and what better way to instill national pride than to build a structure that celebrates the great achievements of the country?

This happiness increase is particularly useful for Prussia, which has poorer region happiness than most other factions due to its cabinet having traits that decrease lower class happiness.
