Masuria (Polish: Mazury; German: Masuren (help) is an area in northeastern Poland famous for its lakes and forests. Together with Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast to the north and a small section of Lithuania, the region used to be a part of Prussia and of the province of East Prussia, a German exclave between the world wars. Under territorial changes outlined at the Potsdam Conference, the Region , since 1818 called Masuria, became part of Poland in 1945. The name Masuria for the region was coined in Prussia describing the Mazurian ethnic group, Polish settlers from Masovia who had continuously trickled in. Prussian Masurians remained Protestants in contrast to Polish Masovian to the south.
