Based on FTDNA Germany Project:
Sample size is 2400 for all regions (including 255 with ancestry from former eastern Germany: not sure if this includes only self-identified ethnic Germans or also other groups in those provinces of Germany like Poles, Kashubians, Lithuanians, Jews, Sorbs, etc.):
Centre: Mecklenburg, Vorpommern, West Brandenburg, Province Saxony, Kingdom Saxony, Thuringian States:
East: Pommern, East Prussia, West Prussia, Silesia, East Brandenburg Posen [sample size 255]:
At first glance it can be estimated:
NW - 55% Germanic, 13% Italo-Celtic, 10% Balto-Slavic, 22% other
South - 39% Germanic, 25% Italo-Celtic, 11% Balto-Slavic, 25% other
Centre - 39% Germanic, 24% Balto-Slavic, 16% Italo-Celtic, 21% other
East - 44% Balto-Slavic, 30% Germanic, 12% Italo-Celtic, 15% other
^^^ If we assume, that:
Balto-Slavic: R1a-Z280, R1a-M458, N, I2a
Germanic: R1b-U106, I1, R1a-Z284, I2b
Italo-Celtic: U152, DF27, L21, P312
Other: E, G, J, I2c, T, L, C, Q, R1b-L23, R1a-Z93
Many of the 255 samples from eastern regions are undoubtedly from East Prussia.
Some time ago I collected data about 84 Y-DNA samples with ancestry tracing back to East Prussia from various FTDNA Projects, and there were 19 haplogroup N samples among them (23%) and a lot of R1a as well - but most of East Prussian R1a was Z280, just like in Lithuania.
In my East Prussian sample only 18% of R1a was M458 and 82% was Z280 and other.
