The Danzig Region (Regierungsbezirk Danzig) was a government region, within the Prussian Provinces of West Prussia and Prussia. The regional capital was Danzig (Gdańsk).[1] Prussian government regions were not bodies of regional self-rule of the districts and cities comprised, but shear top-to-down government agencies to apply federal or state law and supervise local entities of self-rules, such as municipalities, rural and urban districts.[2]
