The List of Members of the Prussian State Council of Nazi Germany enumerates the persons who served on the advisory body to the Prussian minister president, which existed from July 1933 to May 1945. The State Council by law consisted of (1) members by virtue of office (ex officio members) and (2) members who were appointed by the Prussian minister president. The ex officio members were the minister president and the Prussian cabinet ministers. Of the fifty appointed members, some were to be drawn specifically from the state secretaries of the ministries and certain other Nazi Party or government office holders, among whom were the Stabschef of the SA, the Reichsfรผhrer-SS, certain other high ranking SA and SS officers and the Gauleiter of the Prussian Gaue. The remaining appointed members were to include representatives of churches, business, labor, science, art and other "men of merit". Of the 125 known members of the State Council, some 31 died in office, 18 were dismissed, 12 resigned or retired and 64 remained in office at the fall of the Nazi regime.
