Bromberg was the northern of two Prussian administrative regions, or Regierungsbezirke , of the Grand Duchy of Posen (1815–49) and its successor, the Province of Posen (1849–1918). The administrative center was the city of Bromberg (Bydgoszcz).
The region was bordered on the south by the Regierunsbezirk Posen, to the west by the Province of Brandenburg, to the north and northeast by West Prussia, and to the east by Congress Poland (within the Russian Empire).
The Bromberg region had a larger percentage of mostly Protestant Germans than average for the Province of Posen. However, the majority of population were Roman Catholic Poles. Initially, there was a sizeable Jewish minority, but that number diminished over time due to the Ostflucht.
