Structure

[edit]

Use Template:Infobox Former Subdivision

The article should start with a good introduction.

  • Geography - Brief description of the province's geography, including lakes, rivers, mountains.
  • History - A brief outline of the major events in the province's history, primarily those that dealt with the province itself.
  • (Subdivisions) - Provide a table (or list?) of the Kreise, organized by Regierungsbezirke. Links to both allow the user to browse down through the hierarchy (Regierungsbezirk) or to jump down to a particular Kreis.
  • Miscellaneous topics - if any.
  • External links - if any.
  • Categories - years of establishment and disestablishment. For example, the province of Hanover belongs to the categories 1868 establishments and 1946 disestablishments

Any maps used should also be placed in Portal:Atlas
