German Eastern Marches Society (Template:Lang-de, also known as Template:Lang-de) was a German organisation founded in 1894 Poznań, Poland), which at the time was under German control and named Posen.
The organisation's objective was to support the nationalistic policy of Germanisation i.e. it wanted all citizens of territories taken by Prussia from Poland to be ethnic Germans, by eradicating the native Polish population through settlement of German colonists, and repression of Polish culture. After 1918 its activities were limited to the reduced territory of Germany post-World War One, until it was finally disbanded in 1934.
The organisation was sometimes acronymically described as The Hakata (or H-K-T) Society after its founders Hansemann, Kennemann and Tiedemann. The nickname may have been influenced by the name Hecate.
