Innsbruck sounds plausible. Prussia is harder to define, it covers a lot of country, different bits at different times ! This is a good history site if you want to find out more: http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/region.html more specifically: http://www.zum.de/whkmla/histatlas/germany/haxprussia.html has maps of Prussia at different times.
