The principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont retained is status after the Congress of Vienna of 1815 and became a member of the German Confederation. From 1868 onward, it was administered by Prussia, but retained its nominal sovereignty. In 1871 it became a constituent state of the new German Empire. At the end of World War I, the prince abdicated and Waldeck-Pyrmont became a Free state (government)|free state within the Weimar Republic. On 30 November 1921, following a local plebiscite, the city and district of Pyrmont were detached and incorporated into the Prussian province of Hanover (state)|Hanover.
