'''Prussia''' (Low German: ''Preußen''), or '''Brandenburg-Prussia''' (''Brandenborg-Preußen''), refers to the Hohenzollern-ruled territories of the Duchy of Prussia and Electoral Brandenburg after 1618. The two realms were in personal union until 1755; thereafter, Brandenburg functioned as an electorate of the Holy Roman Empire until its abolition in 1814.
