Very interesting. Tripped me up when I didn't remember Germany was bigger.

I was sure, that Strasbourg had to be on the list. But in fact, in wasn´t that big - only about 150.000 inhabitants.

I was gonna say that Strasbourg is French (which it is), but I looked it up and it seems the city has changed hands quite a few times between 1871 and 1944. What do you know? This stupid urge to stick it up people's noses can come in handy from time to time.

The Poles can keep Danzig, Breslau and Stettin. Really, we're over it. Even the loss of Königsberg is something we've come to accept at last. But one day, we'll get back Straßburg. Alsace-Lorraine is rightfully German clay!

(I'm joking of course)

Interesting - seems like most cities gained in population, except for for cities in the east of Germany

Losing Prussia, Pomerania, and Silesia would have been a pretty big deal to say the very least. It's also interesting to see just how much the Ruhr valley region has grown.

They didn't lose Prussia - Prussia basically took over or allied with all the other German-speaking states and called it "Germany".

You're thinking of the Holy Roman Empire. Prussia founded the German Empire, but after 1945 was lost to Poland and Russia.

Prussia originated in what is now Poland and Russia, but it took control of various (still) German territories. From 1701 on, its capital was Berlin and it existed as a kingdom or free state within Germany until 1932 (here's a 1925 map); the Allied forces dissolved it for good in 1947.

The territory of Prussia was mostly lost to Poland and Russia after WW2, true. But Prussia didn't really found Germany. There was a strong movement towards unification in pretty much all of the small German states - and for good reason. There are many map quizzes here on JetPunk that show how horrible this patchwork of tiny municipalities with exclaves really was. However, when Germany unified, many would have preferred Austria, which was catholic and more peaceful, over the protestant and militaristic Prussia. The Prussians just took over because they were the stongest state, but unification wasn't their original idea.

I was really surprised Danzig wasn't one of the larger cities then.

It was surprising to me that Danzig, Posen, or Lübeck weren't on here, because I think they would be pretty big if they were the capitals of their regions, plus, Danzig and Posen are both pretty populous today and Lübeck was its own hanseatic city ... but, eventually I got all of them since "merged into #1" was a pretty good clue for charlottenburg, which was actually the capital of Prussia for some time
