The Pomeranian Voivodeship , Polish województwo pomorskie , Kashubian Pòmòrsczé wòjewództwò , with the capital Gdańsk (Danzig) is one of the 16 voivodships of the Republic of Poland . During the territorial reform in 1999, it emerged from the Gdansk Voivodeships and part of the Słupsk (Stolp) , Elbląg (Elbing) and Bydgoszcz (Bromberg) voivodeships and includes the east of the historical Pomeranian landscape with Pomeranian and the extreme east of the former Prussian province of Pomerania (more precisely: Hinterpommerns ), also areas east of the Vistula, which belong to the historical Prussian landscape; it is thus measured similarly to the former Prussian province of West Prussia . It extends in the northwest over the area of the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Polish aristocratic republic and that of the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Second Polish Republic, but extends less far to the south, which in turn takes up the name of the neighboring Kujawy-Pomeranian Voivodeship .
