Not since ww2 and the Prussian diaspora that fallowed, before that we were slightly distinct. The first Prussians came into existence when Germanic pagans around 800a.d. settled in the area at the eastern Baltic see that came later to be known as East Prussia and intermingled with the Baltic minority there.
But well, that was 1200 years ago, I'm Germanic-Celtic, a central European.

Because there is no benefit in mixing! We like it to be diverse, having different languages, different architecture, different food, that's what makes Europe such a great place! That's why the EU is poison!

The discontent with the current order of things is steadily growing and that not just in Germany but in the rest of Europe as well, at this point there is no say what the future may brings.
