where was prussia

Prussia was a historical state and region in Central and Eastern Europe, mainly where parts of today’s Germany and Poland are located.

Where Prussia Was

• The core of Prussia lay around Brandenburg and Berlin in central Europe, and East Prussia on the Baltic Sea coast.

• At its greatest extent, Prussia controlled territory now in:
  • Germany (Brandenburg, Berlin, Rhineland, parts of Pomerania and Silesia)

* Poland (West Prussia, much of East Prussia, Posen, big parts of Silesia and Pomerania)

* Russia (Kaliningrad Oblast, the northern part of old East Prussia)

* Lithuania (a slice of East Prussia / “Lithuania Minor”)

* Czech Republic (part of Silesia)

* Denmark and Belgium (small border areas in Schleswig‑Holstein and the Rhineland)

So if you look at a modern map, think of a band stretching along the southern Baltic Sea coast between roughly Denmark and today’s Poland, then extending inland toward Berlin and down toward Silesia in today’s Germany, Poland, and Czech Republic.

TL;DR: When you ask “where was Prussia,” the answer is: in the area that is now mostly Germany and Poland, plus pieces of Russia (Kaliningrad), Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Denmark, and Belgium.
