Province of Pomerania

The Province of Pomerania (German: Provinz Pommern) was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Free State of Prussia from 1815 until 1946. It was created from Farther Pomerania, which had belonged to Brandenburg since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, and Hither Pomerania, which was annexed from Denmark in 1815; the Danes had taken Swedish Pomerania in the Treaty of Kiel in the previous year.

After World War II Pomerania was part of the Soviet occupation zone and the section of Pomerania east of the Oder-Neisse line was ceded to Poland. The remaining territory became part of East Germany in 1949 and, following the German reunification in 1990, was merged with Mecklenburg to form the new state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
