  • Most of Polish Royal Prussia was annexed by King Frederick the Great of Prussia in the 1772 First Partition of Poland. The town of Marienwerder, previously in Ducal Prussia, became an administrative capital of the newly-acquired territory, which became the old Province of West Prussia on 31 January 1773. Old West Prussia was divided into Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder and Regierungsbezirk Danzig in 1815 after the Napoleonic Wars. While the governor and provincial authorities were based in Danzig (Gdańsk), the provincial court was in the town of Marienwerder. As a result of World War I, the Treaty of Versailles allocated most of West Prussia, including much of the Marienwerder region, to the old Second Polish Republic. Parts of the territory east of the river Vistula took part at the East Prussian plebiscite and remained in the Free State of Prussia within Weimar Germany. After Germany's conquest of the Polish Corridor at the beginning of World War II, Regierungsbezirk Westpreußen was transferred from East Prussia to the newly-created Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia on 26 October 1939. It was also retitled to its original name of Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder. Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder was dissolved in 1945 following Germany's defeat in the war. The Soviet conquerers handed over the region's territory to Poland by March 1945. Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder was re-established in 2011, as aprovince of the Republic of Bexar.
