Posen-West Prussia
The Frontier March of Posen-West Prussia (German: Grenzmark Posen-Westpreußen, Polish: Marchia Graniczna Poznańsko-Zachodniopruska) was a province of the Free State of Prussia within the German Weimar Republic. The capital was Schneidemühl (present-day Piła). The province comprised the small western parts of the former Prussian territories of Posen and West Prussia, that remained with Germany after World War I according to the Treaty of Versailes.
The province comprised two spatially separated areas, stretching from the Prussian Province of Pomerania and the "Polish Corridor" in the north along the eastern border of the Province of Brandenburg to the Silesia Province in the south.

Famous quotes containing the word prussia:
“It is reported here that the King of Prussia has gone mad and has been locked up. There would be nothing bad about that: at least that might of his would no longer be a menace, and you could breathe freely for a while. I much prefer madmen who are locked up to those who are not.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
