奧伊倫堡事件

奧伊倫堡事件被稱為「史上最大的同性戀緋聞」，此公眾爭議主要圍繞一系列指控有同性性行為的軍事審判和5次民事審判，以及隨之而來的誹謗審判，都是有關1907至1909年期間威廉二世內閣和隨行人員當中的主要人物。

問題集中在社會主義記者馬克西米利安·哈登指控德皇密友和庫諾·馮·毛奇存在性關係。指控和反控迅速成倍增加，而「里賓柏圓桌會議」一詞開始用來指代君王周圍的同性密友圈。

這件事得到廣泛宣傳，通常被認為是德意志帝國內最大的緋聞，並引發德國對同性戀的第一次重大公開討論，可與英國對奧斯卡·王爾德的審判相提並論。歷史學家將這件事的後續與德國外交政策的變化聯繫起來，而這些變化加劇了其軍事侵略性，並最終促成第一次世界大戰。
