Provinces of Prussia
Note: Recorded here are
the provinces of the kingdom, later state, of Prussia,
originally (from the 1651) union of Brandenburg-Prussia.
The basis of the list is period from 1807 to 1918.
Provinces that only existed before or after this period
are listed right after the respective basic provinces. In
the pre-1815 period the provincial administration was
reorganized in 1651, 1723 and 1808 as follows:
(a) 1651-1723: provinces were
administered by Stadholders, an increasingly
honorific and vacant vice-regal position, and Presidents
of Government (Regierungspräsidenten),
chief administrative officers often with title of
Chancellor whose duties included supervision of financial
chamber (in case of Duchy of Prussia Landhofmeister
took precedence before chancellor);
(b) 1723-1808: provincial
administration consisted of Directing Ministers in Berlin
(except ministers for Silesia and Ansbach-Bayreuth having
seats locally), being members of the central financial and
internal affairs administration (Generaldirektorium),
and Presidents of War and Domain Chamber (Kammerpräsidenten,
in full Präsidenten der Kriegs- und
Domänenkammer) at the local level
(Presidents of Government during this period dealt only
with justice, and Governor was just semi-honorific
military position, both titles being misleading); as Generaldirektorium
ceased activity in 1806, the duties of Directing Ministers
in 1807 were transferred to Civil Commissioners-general (Generalzivilkommissäre);
(c) 1808-1815: provincial
administration underwent several changes with dissolution
of chambers and restoration of administrative duties to
Presidents of Government (Regierungspräsidenten)
in 1808, and a sequence of local military or civil
commissioners of central government with titles of
Governor-General (1806-1813), Supreme President (Oberpräsident)
(1808-1810), Military Governor and Civil Governor
(1813-1814).
From 1876 (in some provinces only
from 1884/1889), the provincial self-administration was
headed by a locally elected (last provincial elections
were held in 1933) Landeshauptmann
(originally Landesdirektor)
under supervision of the centrally appointed Oberpräsident
(in Greater Berlin respectively Lord Mayor and City
President). All provinces are listed until the
end of Prussian central government in Apr 1945 (for
Prussian provinces 1945-1947 see under States of Germany since
1918). All provincial flags were banned 15 Sep
1935. The Allied Control Commission formally
declared Prussia dissolved on 25 Feb 1947.
