German Prussians tended to be Lutheran, but Catholics existed. I was wondering if anyone knew who tended to be Catholic in Prussia. Were most Prussian Catholics part of non-German ethnic groups (slavic groups)? or other areas of Germany proper such as Nassau?

this might help Along with the rest of Prussia, East Prussia became part of the German Empire at its creation in 1871. In 1875 the ethnic make-up of East Prussia was 73.48% German, 18.39% Polish, and 8.11% Lithuanian (according to "Slownik geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego"). The population of the province in 1900 was 1,996,626 people, with a religious make up of 1,698,465 Protestants, 269,196 Roman Catholics, and 13,877 Jews en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Prussia |

Thanks for the info, that's one of the best history sites I've seen, as it tries to touch on German and Slavic mixing and borders. Prussia was such a fun place...
