Province of Kurhessen [SEP] dissolved or abolished
Province of Kurhessen
The Province of Kurhessen () was a province of Prussia within Nazi Germany between 1944 and 1945.
Although all German states, including Prussia, had "de facto" been dissolved since 1933, the Nazi government formally dissolved the Prussian Province of Hesse-Nassau into two provinces on 1 April 1944: Kurhessen and the Province of Nassau. 
The name "Kurhessen" comes from the former Electorate of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel; 1803–1866) which, following the Austro-Prussian War
Electorate of Hesse
The Electorate of Hesse (), also known as Hesse-Kassel or Kurhessen, was a state elevated by Napoleon in 1803 from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel. When the Holy Roman Empire was abolished in 1806, the Prince-Elector of Hesse chose to remain an Elector, even though there was no longer an Emperor to elect. In 1807, with the Treaties of Tilsit, the area was annexed to the Kingdom of Westphalia, but in 1814, the Congress of Vienna restored the electorate.
