The Landsmannschaft Ostpreußen ("Homeland Association of East Prussia") is a non-profit organization for Germans who were evacuated or expelled from East Prussia during World War II and as well as people who emigrated in more recent times, exercising their right to German citizenship, based on a 1913 German law. It was formed on 3 October 1948 by East Prussian refugees in West Germany.
