Prussia (Pomeranian noble family)
Preuss or Preuss is the name of an extinct Pomeranian noble family .
A root relationship with the Electoral Saxon von Preuss is not proven. A demarcation from the Prussian family of the same name with the Leliwa coat of arms is just as necessary as to the extinct Silesian noble family Prussia.
