This party area was formed on June 1, 1933 from the Brandenburg Gau , which was separated from the Berlin-Brandenburg Gau (founded in 1925) on October 1, 1928, and the Ostmark Gau (founded in 1925 with the capital Frankfurt / Oder ). In 1933 the area corresponded to that of the Reichstag constituencies of Potsdam I, Potsdam II (excluding Berlin) and Frankfurt / Oder with the Posen-West Prussia border region . The Gau comprised the Prussian province of Brandenburg with the administrative district of Potsdam under Ernst Fromm and the administrative district of Frankfurt under Felix Eichler and the border region of Posen-West PrussiaHans von Meibom . After its dissolution in 1938, the district of Schwerin (Warthe) , district of Meseritz and district of Bomst (partly) went to the province of Brandenburg, which at the same time gave the districts of Friedeberg (Neumark) and Arnswalde to the province of Pomerania . From May 16, 1933, the Parteigau faced the Reichsstatthalter for Prussia, Hermann Göring , who appointed the Gauleiter Kube as the upper president of the province of Brandenburg and provisional of the border mark Posen-West Prussia. In September 1936 the same happened for the successor Stürtz. The state and party levels merged, especially since the outbreak of war in 1939. On September 1, 1939, the Gauleiter was appointed Reich Defense Commissioner for Wehrkreis III (Berlin), and as such chairman of the Defense Committee of Wehrkreis III. On November 15, 1940, he became district housing commissioner , on April 6, 1942, commissioner of the general representative for labor , and on September 25, 1944, Gau leader of the German Volkssturm . With an area of ​​38,278 km² and over three million inhabitants, the Gau was the largest in the German Reich, the seat of the Gau leadership was in Berlin ( Kurmärkische Strasse 1).
