 Duchy of Lauenburg 1261-1918 (Schleswig-Holstein, Germany)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
According to William R. Shepherd's Historical Atlas 1929, Lauenburg was given to Hannover in 1689 and continued in its possession to the Napoleonic era.
When Lauenburg was conquered by the Prussians in 1864, the assembly of noblemen (in German die Ritterschaft) made a decision on 21 October, that they would join in a personal union with Prussia under the condition that Lauenburg was considered a German Duchy (Herzogtum) in itself.
It can be noted, that Lauenburg would have become Prussian already in 1815 (1816?), if Denmark hadn't traded it for the northern part of Hither Pomerania, which Denmark had got in 1814 from Sweden in exchange for Norway.

 Scots in Eastern and Western Prussia - Part III – Documents (6)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
There is village called "Schottland" in the district of Lauenburg, in Pomerania, with eighty-four inhabitants and ten houses; another Schottland in the Danzig lowlands in Western Prussia, numbering some 200 souls; a kirchdorf (village with a church), "Schottland," in the district of Bromberg in Posen, also numbering about 200 inhabitants.
There are besides three so-called "Schottenkruge" = Scotch inns, one four miles distant from Marienburg, in the Danzig district, another in the district of Marienwerder, a third near the city of Culm, in Western Prussia.
What the precise connection of these inns with the Scots was, whether they were at one time in possession of Scotsmen, or because they were placed in a district where many Scots lived, or finally, because they were much frequented by the Scots—and who would deny the latter eventuality?—it would be difficult to say.
