#REDIRECT [[Posen (region)]]
'''Posen''' is the southern of two administrative districts (German: ''Regierungsbezirk '') of [[Grand Duchy of Poznan]] (1815-1848) / [[Province of Posen]] (1849-1918).

It is bordered on the north by the [[Bromberg district]], to the west by [[Brandenburg]], to the south by [[Silesia]] (German: ''Schlesien'') and to the east by [[Congress Poland]].

Posen district had a smaller percentage of German settlers, and was therefore less Protestant.

It originally was divided into ?? counties (German: ''Kreise''), which were later divided into 27 Kreise, the larger ones spinning off smaller units.

==Divisions==

Note: Prussian provinces were subdivided into units called "Kreise" (singular "Kreis", abreviated "Kr.", English ''circle''), which were similar to large counties in US terms. Cities would have their own "Stadtkreis" (English: ''municipal county'') and the surrounding rural area would be named for the city, but referred to as a "Landkreis" (English: ''rural county''). In the case of Posen, the Landkreis was split into two: Landkreis Posen West, and Landkreis Posen East. (Data is from Prussian censuses, during a period state-sponsored 'germanization', and includes military garrissons.)
