Posen-West Prussia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Border Province of Posen-West Prussia (Grenzmark Posen-Westpreußen in German) was a province of the Free State of Prussia, located in present-day Poland. It was created in 1922 out of those parts of the provinces of Posen and the western parts of West Prussia that remained with the Weimar Republic after the end of World War I; the largest parts of these provinces had become parts of the Polish Republic according to the Treaty of Versailles. Posen-West Prussia was dissolved in 1938 (just before World War II), when it was divided and parts were assigned to Silesia, Pomerania and Brandenburg. The capital was Schneidemühl (Polish Piła). The province had an area of 7,695 km².
The eastern parts of the former Province of West Prussia became a new district the West Prussia, in East Prussia.
