The Province of Prussia (German: Provinz Preußen) was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia since 1824 in a personal union and from 1829 to 1878 in a Realunion. Between these years East Prussia and West Prussia were joined into a single province, after which they were again reestablished as two separate provinces. It is usually referred to with its full name order to distinguish it from the entire Kingdom of Prussia.
