If you can read French, then Mont Saint Jean is the place you need to look for.

That site is limited to uniforms, and not all ranks were indicated in dress.

Note that Rittmeister and Kapitän are equal, the former is for cavalry and the latter for infantry.

Here's a link for a good Napoleonic uniform website (set during Waterloo). You can translate it by right clicking and pressing "Translate to English": http://centjours.mont-saint-jean.com/unitesPR.php.

If you're willing to fork out a little bit of money then Osprey have done many books on not just the Prussians but just about every army throughout history:

And as others have said the Mont St Jean site is good. I may add that the British drummers uniforms are wrong on the site (reversed colours for drummers were changed by Waterloo, they would have been in red although I don't know about if some regimental drummers kept their old uniforms) but as this is about the Prussians, the site is pretty accurate and well researched.

The ranks depend on the unit, the time period and what you want to use, yourself. So, give us a regiment name so we can actually work some stuff out here, lol.
