AHC: Prussian-controlled Livonia?

Is it possible for Prussia or Brandenburg to come into possession of Livonia before the Thirty Years' War? How? Note: my aim is to produce a more Baltic-oriented Prussia which is less directed towards uniting Germany. If possible.

The Hohenzollern Archbishop of Riga, then ruling a fairly large chunk of what was known as Livonia, wanted to secularize his bishopric into a Lutheran duchy. He failed OTL, but perhaps circumstances could lead to his success, perhaps his line could eventually die out and perhaps the inheritance could fall to the Brandenburg Hohenzollerns? If you add a lucky Courland inheritance on top of that, you'd have most of Livonia in Hohenzollern hands.

That's a bit of a stretch though. With Sweden and Russia's Baltic ambitions, and Poland-Lithuania already in the neighbourhood, it's hard to imagine that anyone would let the Hohenzollerns accumulate a Baltic empire like that, and they wouldn't exactly be in a position to effectively defend their holdings either.
 
Possibly a earlier WWI and victorious Germany (Prussia dominated) annexes the Baltics?

Other than that it will be a far back pod
 
I could see Prussia taking Lithuania and Livonia if the Crimean War somehow turns into a dog-pile on Russia, with the Austro-Hungarians and Prussians involved. Don't know how the diplomatic situation could get that bad for Russia though.
 
Why not a combination of Teutonic order winning Tannenberg-Grunwald (1410), incorporating the Livonian order fully, and then still secularising into Prussia when the Reformation come?
