de:Provinz Preußen states that Provinz Preußen was originally used for East Prussia (Ursprünglich wurde der Name nur für Ostpreußen verwendet.). However, de:Ostpreußen states that the Duchy of Prussia became known as Altpreußen in 1701, and the province created in 1773 became "East Prussia" (Das bisher Herzogliche Preußen wurde nun Altpreußen genannt ... Aus Altpreußen und dem Ermland wurde am 31. Januar 1773 Ostpreußen, jetzt offiziell so genannt.) Olessi 17:11, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
