Masurians
The
Masurians
or
Mazurs
(, ) were a
Lechitic
sub-
ethnic group
in the
Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship
in
Poland
. They are descended from
Masovians
(; ), Polish settlers from
Masovia
who moved to
Prussia
especially during and after the
Protestant Reformation
and who were primarily Protestant. In the 19th century, the
Masuria
region of
East Prussia
was named after the Masurians. After World War II many Masurians were classified as Germans and
expelled
to
West Germany
or emigrated after 1956.
