Province of Nassau

The Province of Nassau (German: Provinz Nassau) was a province of Prussia from 1944 to 1945. Although all German states (including Prussia) had been de facto dissolved since 1933, the Nazi government formally dissolved the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau into two provinces on 1 April 1944, Kurhessen and the province of Nassau. The name comes from the former Duchy of Nassau (1806–1866), which Prussia annexed following the Austro-Prussian War to form part of the province of Hesse-Nassau.
