Province of Saxony

The Province of Saxony (German: Provinz Sachsen), also known as Prussian Saxony (Preußische Sachsen), was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia and later the Free State of Prussia from 1816 until 1945. Its capital was Magdeburg. It was formed by the merging of territories, which were formerly the northern part of the Kingdom of Saxony and were ceded to Prussia in 1815, with the duchy of Magdeburg, the Altmark, the Principality of Halberstadt, the formerly-French Principality of Erfurt and other districts, which had been comprised in Prussia from an earlier date.
