PART OF .:THE PRUSSIAN EMPIRE:. WE HAVE BEEN ANNEXED INTO PRUSSIA

The Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel (German: Landgrafschaft Hessen-Kassel) or Hesse-Cassel was a reichsfreie principality of the Holy Roman Empire that came into existence when the Landgraviate of Hesse was divided in 1567 upon the death of Philip I, Landgrave of Hesse. His eldest son William IV inherited the northern half and the capital of Kassel. The other sons received the Landgraviate of Hesse-Marburg, the Landgraviate of Hesse-Rheinfels and the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt.

The Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel was elevated to the Electorate of Hesse (Kurfürstentum Hessen), also known as Electoral Hesse (Kurhessen), in 1803. During the Napoleonic wars it was occupied by French troops and became part of the Kingdom of Westphalia, which was a French satellite state. The Electorate of Hesse was reestablished in 1813 and became a member state of the German Confederation. It was then annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 after the Austro-Prussian War and subsequently became the Province of Hesse-Nassau.
