The Aabenraa district (Danish: Aabenraa landkreds or amt ) was a district in the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein from 1867 to 1920 . As part of Northern Schleswig , its area came to Denmark in 1920 .
history
After the German-Danish War of 1864, Schleswig - and with it the Aabenraa - was occupied by Prussia and Austria and finally annexed by Prussia in 1867. The Aabenraa district became “from the city of Aabenraa in 1867 ; the Amte Aabenraa and the enclaved aristocratic estates ” . In 1920 the district was dissolved and the area ceded to Denmark on the basis of the referendum in Schleswig provided for in the Peace Treaty of Versailles and converted into the Aabenraa office.
Since 1901 the district operated a narrow-gauge railway , the Apenrader Kreisbahn .
