During World War I, the Central Powers divided the territory of the Kingdom of Poland into two zones: German and Austrian. On 01 September 1915, the General Government of Lublin was created from those territories occupied by Austria. The divisions of Gubernias were eliminated from both General Governments. The largest administrative divisions that remained were the Powiats.

01 Septmber 1915

General Government of Lublin: the former Radom Gubernia, Kielce Gubernia, almost all of the Lublin Gubernia from before 1912, and part of the Piotrków Gubernia

08 September 1915

On 08 September 1915, the General Government of Warsaw was created from those territories occupied by the German Empire.

Powiats Włodaw, Radzyn, Bialsk, and Konstantynów were not included in the General Government of Warsaw so that they could be offered to a potential pro-German Ukrainian State
Suwalki Gubernia was not included in the General Government of Warsaw so that it could be included in the Lithuanian State which was politically connected to the German Reich

Gubernias were abolished and several powiats were combined to form 30 powiats in the General Government of Warsaw, numbered in alphabetical order:

The Duchy of Warsaw 1807-1815

Posted on January 27, 2019 by Steve

The War of the Fourth Coalition against Napoleon’s French Empire ended with the Treaties of Tilsit, the first signed on 07 July 1907 between the French Empire and Imperial Russia, and the second signed on 09 July 1807 between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia.

In 1807, the Treaties of Tilsit resulted in the creation of of the Duchy of Warsaw from the territories previously acquired by Prussia during the partition of Pland. Part of the territories from the first, all of the second, and all of the third Prussian partitions of Poland became the Duchy of Warsaw.

The War of the Fifth Coalition against the French Empire ended with the Peace in Schrönbrunn on 14 October 1809. As a result, the Duchy was enlarged by the addition of the territories acquired by Austria during the third partition of Poland and the Zamość Kreis of Eastern Galicia.

While nominally free, the Duchy of Warsaw was subordinate to the French Empire.

The Prussian Partition of Poland 1772-1807

Posted on January 13, 2019 by Steve

In 1657, the Treaty of Bromberg and the Treaty of Wehlau had given full sovereignity to the Duchy of Prussia, which had formerly been a fief of the Crown of Poland. On 18 January 1771, Frederick III, elector of Brandenburg, crowned himself King in Prussia (rather than King of Prussia, in deference to the historic ties to the Crown of Poland). Thus, prior to the partitions of Poland, the Prussian state was called the Kingdom in Prussia, and not until 1772, was it called the Kingdom of Prussia.

During the three partitions of Poland by Russian, Prussia, and Austria in the years 1772, 1793, and 1795, the Kingdom in Prussia acquired substantial territory from the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The map below, Kingdom in Prussia Prior to the Partitions of Poland (1701-1772), shows the extent of the Kingdom in Prussia in shades of pink. Territories belonging to the Crown of Poland are shown in shades of green.

Territories in the map below include the following divisions of the Kingdom in Prussia:

Circulus Hockerlandiae (Hockerland Kreis)
- Pogesamia Hockerlandia (Pogesania)
- Pomesania (Pomesania)
Circulus Natangiensis (Natangia Kreis)
- Bartonia (Bartia)
- Galindia (Galindia)
- Natangia (Natangia)
- Sudavia (Sudovia)
Circulus Sambiensis (Sambia Kreis)
- Nadrovia (Nadrovia)
- Samlandia (Samland/Sambia)
- Sclavonia (Scalovia)

Territories in the map below include the following divisions of the Kingdom in the Crown of Poland:

Palatinatus Pomerelia (Pomeranian Voivodeship)
- Territ Dersaviense (?)
- Territorium Mirachoviense (Mirachowo)
- Territorium Puschense (Puck)
- Territorium Sluchoviense (Człuchów)
- Territorium Suecense (Świecie)
- Territo Tucholiense (Tuchola)
- Territorium Zucoviense (Żukowo)
Palatinat Culmiensis (Chełmno Voivodeship)
- Culm (Chełmno)
- Michelavia (Michałowo)
Palatinat Marienburgensis (Malbork Voivodeship)
- Marienburg (Malbork)
- Varmia/Ermelandia (Warmia/Ermland)

**Kingdom in Prussia Prior to the Partitions of Poland (1701-1772)**

In 1772, the Kingdom in Prussia acquired the territory of Royal Prussia (which had been a region of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth since 1569) and the northern part of the Province of Greater Poland, except for the cities of Gdańsk (Danzig), and Toruń (Thorn).

In 1773, the voivodeships of Pomerania, Chełmno, and Marlbork, all formerly part of Royal Prussia, were merged with the Kingdom in Prussia to form the Province of West Prussia. The northern parts of the Poznań and the Kalisz voivodeships, and the western part of the Inowrocław voivodeship also were incorporated into the Province of West Prussia. In addition, the Archbishopric of Warmia (Ermland) was incorporated into the Province of East Prussia.

In 1793, Prussia acquired the cities of Gdańsk (Danzig) and Toruń (Thorn), as well as the rest of the Province of Greater Poland. The voivodeships of Brześć Kugawski, Gniezno, Inowrocław, Kalisz, Łęczyca, Płock, Poznań, Sieradz, and parts of the voivodeships of Kraków, Masovia, and Rawa became the Province of South Prussia.

In 1795, Prussia acquired the Ciechanów and Masovia voivodeships, and parts of the Brześć, Grodno, Merecz, Podlaski, Troki, and Warsaw voivodeships which had only recently been created in 1793 at the Grodno Sejm. These territories became the Province of New East Prussia. Prussia also acquired the northern part of the Kraków voivodeship and named it New Silesia.

Administrative Structure of the Congress Kingdom of Poland 1815-1844

Posted on January 6, 2019 by Steve

After the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, a group of ambassadors from Europe met in Vienna in May 1814 to settle the borders of the European states. The Final Act of the Congress of Vienna was signed on 09 June 1815 and gave Russia most of the Duchy of Warsaw, which was renamed the Kingdom of Poland. Herein, the Kingdom of Poland created by the Congress of Vienna is referred to as the Congress Kingdom of Poland to distinguish it from the Kingdom of Poland that existed under the Piast (1025-1385) and Jagellon (1385-1569) dynasties.

Officially, the Congress Kingdom of Poland was allowed to have a significant amount of political autonomy, although the real political authority lay in the hands of the Russian Empire.

**Europe after the Congress of Vienna**
John Cary, *A Map of the Central States of Europe, Divided According to the Congress of Vienna and the Treaties of Paris in 1814-1815* (J. Cary, Engraver & Map seller, London, England, 1819); digital images, *Polona Digital Library* (http://polona.pl/item/47509069/ : accessed 06 January 2019).

The administrative structure of the Congress Kingdom of Poland changed several times during its existence. Initially divided into Departments (a vestige of the administrative structure of the Duchy of Warsaw), the Congress Kingdom of Poland was reformed into more traditional voivodeships, obwóds, and powiats on 16 January 1816.

On 07 March 1837, voivodeships were renamed gubernias to further integrate the administrative structure of the Congress Kingdom of Poland into the administrative structure of the Russian Empire.

On 15 Jun 1841, the Krakow Gubernia was renamed the Kielce Gubernia and, effective 10 Nov 1942, powiats were renamed okręgs, and obwóds were renamed powiats.

During the period of 1815-1844, the administrative divisions of the Congress Kingdom of Poland changed as follows:

09 June 1815

Bydgoszcz Department (Powiats: Brześć, Bydgoszcz, Chełmno, Inowrocław, Kamień, Kowal, Michałowo, Radziejów, Toruń, Wałecki)
Kalisz Department (Powiats: Częstochowa, Kalisz, Konin, Odolanów, Ostrzeszów, Piotrków, Radomsko, Sieradz, Szadeck, Warta, Wieluń)
Kraków Department (Powiats: Hebdów, Jędrzejów, Kraków, Krzeszowice, Lelowska, Miechów, Olkusz, Pilica, Stopnica, Szydłów, Skalbmierz)
Łomża Department (Powiats: Biebrza, Dąbrowa, Kalwaria, Łomża, Mariampol, Tykocin, Wigry)
Lublin Department (Powiats: Chełm, Hrubiezów, Kazimierz, Kraśnik, Lubartów, Lublin, Tomaszów, Tarnogród, Zamość)
Płock Department (Powiats: Lipno, Mława, Ostrołęka, Przasnysz, Pułtusk, Wyszogród)
