Arendsee Circle

The Arendseeische Kreis or Arendseescher Kreis was a Kurmärkischer district in what was then the Altmark of the Mark Brandenburg . It covers areas that are now in the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel and the Stendal district in Saxony-Anhalt . It gradually developed in the 16th century, was dissolved in 1807, restituted in 1813 and finally dissolved in the Prussian district and provincial reform in 1816. He went on in the Osterburg district of the province of Saxony of the Kingdom of Prussia.

geography

The Arendsee district was in the north-western part of the Altmark. It bordered in the north on the Electorate of Hanover , in the east on the Seehausen district , in the southeast on the Stendalische Kreis and the Electorate of Hanover , in the south and west on the Salzwedelische Kreis and an exclave of the Electorate of Hanover. The town of Bismarck, which belongs to the Arendsee district, was an exclave in the Stendal district.

history

In the course of the 16th century in the Margraviate of Brandenburg, organized circles emerged according to the landscapes or the so-called soft formations of the larger cities , in the 17th century also called horsemen or land riders, which were headed by a war commissioner. The executive officer was the Landreiter, hence the name Beritt. In the Mittelmark , the districts developed their own administrative bodies (district directorate) and their own representative offices (corpus, pl. Corpora), which also had their own finances or district coffers.

Six circles were created in the Altmark. In contrast to the Mittelmark and comparable to the situation in the Prignitz , they formed in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the 19th century, in fiscal and rural terms, there was only one district, which only had a district directorate (= regional directorate), a knightly corpus and a district treasury (= provincial treasury). The six districts initially had their own war commissioner and later district administrator. While the Stendal and Salzwedel districts retained their own district administrators, only one district administrator was appointed for the Tangermündeschen and the Arneburg district (time not known exactly) and from 1735 for the Arendsee and Seehausen districts.

The provincial directorate for the Altmark consisted of a provincial director (rarely two provincial directors). In addition, there was a dike captain, a war commissioner and an Oberlandeinnehmer (tax officer) as well as land takers (tax officers ) for the individual districts, with one land taker each being responsible for the Tangermündesche and the Arneburg district and from 1735 for the Arendsee and Seehausenschen districts. A land rider was responsible for each district. The state directorate sent a deputy from among its ranks to represent the Altmark Knighthood to the state parliaments of the Kurmark landscape. From around 1775, the supervision of the dykes was transferred to the Elbdeichdirektorium of the Altmark, which was subordinate to the Royal Kurmärkischen War and Domain Chamber Deputation in Stendal. In addition, a first and a second dike captain have now been appointed.

The name Arendseeischer Kreis follows Friedrich Wilhelm August Bratring (1804). In the older work by Anton Friedrich Büsching from 1775 it is called the Arendsee Circle .

In the Peace of Tilsit in 1806, Prussia had to cede the Altmark and thus also the Arendsee District to the Kingdom of Westphalia . The Arendsee district became part of the Salzwedel district of the Elbe department . In 1811 Johann Ludwig von Westphalen was sub-prefect of the Salzwedel district. Arendsee became the seat of the canton Arendsee with 15 communities. After the dissolution of the Kingdom of Westphalia in October / November 1813, the old district division was restored until 1816. In the great district and provincial reform in Prussia in 1816, the Arendsee district was dissolved and divided between the newly created Osterburg district and the enlarged Salzwedel district.
