  Grossdeutschland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grossdeutschland (German Großdeutschland, literally "Greater Germany") was historically an irredentist term that referred to the concept of one German nation-state.
Grossdeutschland was a 19th century political idea postulating the (never realized) idea of a unified Germany, led by Habsburg Austria and with Vienna as its capital, as opposed to the Prussian-led alternative, known as Kleindeutschland (Small Germany).
In a reference to the earlier concept of Grossdeutschland, after the Anschluss (union) of Austria to the Deutsches Reich (German Empire) in 1938, the state was informally renamed to Grossdeutsches Reich.
