German States to 1918 R-Z
Note: The list
below is
only complete for those polities that survived beyond
1806. Within
the Holy Roman Empire, there existed countless
minor states
(ecclesiastical states, imperial
cities, imperial villages, lordships, counties,
baronies, principalities, etc.), which
are nearly impossible to list with even partial
accuracy. A major reorganization was
brought about by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss
of 1803, when more than 100 polities were
abolished. Polities listed prior to 1806 are
a sample
of the major or most well known
polities of the Holy Roman Empire and the
Confederation of the Rhine. After 1806, all the
polities that survived the Napoleonic Wars and the
Congress
of Vienna are listed.
For the sake of providing a division between eras,
after the republican revolutions
of 1918, which overthrew the last German
monarchies, remaining states are listed under
German states
since 1918; these include the states and provinces
of the Weimar Republic, Third Reich, and the modern
period. The provinces of Prussia are listed in a
separate section following the entry for Prussia (Prussian provinces to 1946).
Statistical data is given only for those polities that
survived to 1918.

Note: Saxony begins as an ethnic dukedom in
the 9th century. It gradually becomes
territorial, and shifts geographically from
present-day Niedersachsen to present-day Sachsen. This
account begins with the confirmation of electoral status
of the duke.

-
Wittenberg and given to the Askanien dynasty.

The Ernestine line is deprived of the electorate; it
goes
-
on to establish the Saxon duchies in Thuringia.

on Schleswig and Holstein are in personal union.
1490
The combined polities are split into Segebergscher
Anteil
and Gottorpscher Anteil (Segeberg Portion and

Confederation.

Augustenburg (formerly non-sovereign) line.
