province of saxony

The Province of Saxony (German Provinz Sachsen) was a Prussian province between the Napoleonic Wars of 1815 and 1947. Its capital was Magdeburg. It is usually referred to with its full name in order to distinguish it from the Kingdom of Saxony. It was created in 1816 out of the following terrorities belonging to Prussia: territories formerly belonging to the Archbishopric of Mainz (Erfurt and the Eichsfeld), territories gained from the Kingdom of Saxony, the former Free City of Mhlhausen, the former Free City of Nordhausen, the Duchy of Magdeburg, and those parts of the Margraviate of Brandenburg situated west of the Elbe. It is one of the predecessors of the now existing German State of Saxony-Anhalt, together with the much smaller former state of Anhalt and some exclaves of Brunswick. Some parts of the Province of Saxony now belong to the Free State of Thuringia. The Province of Saxony was one of the richest regions of Prussia with highly developed agriculture and industry. It had an area of 25,255 km and a population of 3.0 million (1905), 3.6 million (1939).
