Grand Duchy of Poznań

Grand Duchy of Poznań (semi-autonomous part of Prussia) had flag horizontally red-white, as Indonesia. 1849 GDP was renamed to Province of Poznań (German: Provinz Posen) and the autonomy was suppressed. In 1886 flag was changed by Prussian authorities into horizontal white-black-white triband, because the former was far too similar to Polish.
White-black-white triband was official provincional flag till 1918.
