Administrative history
Kingdom of Prussia
In the post-medieval period, the Margraviate of Brandenburg was divided into circles . One of these historical circles was the Beeskow-Storkow district , also known as the Bees and Storkow districts at the time . It consisted of two historical territories, the Beeskow rule and the Storkow rule. In detail, it included the two cities of Beeskow and Storkow as well as the royal offices of Buchholz, Kossenblatt , Krausnick , Münchehofe , Plössin, Stahnsdorf and Trebatsch .
The district was divided by the Prussian provincial authorities ordinance of April 30, 1815 and its implementing provisions. The rule of Storkow came to the new administrative district of Potsdam and the rule of Beeskow to the new administrative district of Frankfurt . Storkower pitch was the Teltow to Teltow-Storkow together while the Beeskower pitch circle in the circle Luebben was incorporated.
On January 1, 1836, the status quo ante was restored. The Beeskow-Storkow district was restored and assigned to the Potsdam administrative district. The district office was in Beeskow. At the same time, the Teltow-Storkow district was reduced to the Teltow district again .
North German Confederation and German Empire
Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and from January 1, 1871 to the German Empire .
On April 1, 1882, the rural community of Amalienhof and the Amalienhof estate from the Beeskow-Storkow district were incorporated into the Lübben district, while the rural community of Cossenblatt and parts of the Cossenblatt estate and the forest protection district of Cossenblatt moved from the Lübben district to the Beeskow-Storkow district.
On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in the Beeskow-Storkow district, in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which all manor districts except three were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the district of Beeskow-Storkow was given the designation Landkreis in accordance with the now unified regulation .
In April 1945 the district was occupied by the Red Army .
GDR
The law on the change to improve the district and community boundaries in the GDR of April 28, 1950 brought the end of the district on July 1, 1950:
- Most of the Beeskow-Storkow district was incorporated into the new Fürstenwalde district .
- The communities Alt-Schadow , Birkholz b. Märkisch Buchholz , Briescht , Giesensdorf , Groß Wasserburg , Hohenbrück , Kossenblatt , Köthen , Krausnick , Leibsch , Märkisch Buchholz , Neu Lübbenau , Neu Schadow , Neuendorf b. Märkisch Buchholz , Ranzig , Sabrodt , Sawall , Stremmen , Trebatsch , Werder / Spree and Wulfersdorf moved to the district of Lübben (Spreewald) .
- The communities of Krügersdorf , Merz and Schneeberg moved to the new district of Frankfurt (Oder) .
