When the Congress of Vienna determined that the Province of Saxony (the northern territories, now known as Saxony-Anhalt) was to be joined to Prussia, the remaining area was similar in size and location to the present federal State of Saxony. It became the Kingdom of Saxony in 1831 (Königreich Sachsen). After WW II it was under Soviet occupation and was dissolved in 1952 but again established during reunification in 1990 as one of sixteen states in the Federal Republic of Germany. It includes a very small part of Silesia around the town of Görlitz. The reference place names are Germany, Preußen, Sachsen and Germany, Sachsen.
