history

In the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Prussia had to cede the Altmark and the Duchy of Magdeburg west of the Elbe to the newly founded Kingdom of Westphalia, along with other areas . From these areas and smaller areas ceded by the Kingdom of Saxony , the department of the Elbe was formed, which was divided into four districts ( Magdeburg , Neuhaldensleben , Stendal and Salzwedel ). The Stendal district was subdivided further into 13 cantons ( cantons ), including the Canton Schinne. Eight municipalities belonged to the canton of Schinne (original spellings that differ from today's spelling are in italics):

Schinne, village, canton capital ( chef-lieu )
Grassau , village, with Friedrichshof ( Schmoor ), Bülitz and Grünenwulsch ( Grünenbusch )
Dobberkau ( Doberkau ), village, with Möllenbeck
Schorstedt ( Schorstädt ), village with Schartau and Grävenitz
Rochau , village, with Schwarzenhagen
Petersmark , village, with the hamlets of Häsewig and Ziegenhagen
Little Schwechten , village
Groß Schwechten , village, with Neuendorf am Speck ( Nauendorf am Speck )

Before / until 1807, the places belonged to the Stendal District of the Altmark Province of the Mark Brandenburg .

In 1808, the canton of Schinne had 2,891 inhabitants. In 1811, the canton of Schinne had an area of 2.56 square miles and 2374 inhabitants. In 1811 von Bülow was a canton master in Klein Schwechten. According to the court and state calendar of 1812, the canton of Schinne had 2,874 inhabitants. However, Heinrich Christian Brandt zu Klein Schwechten was now the canton master.

With the collapse of the Kingdom of Westphalia after the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , the previous Prussian administrative structure was restored. In the district reform of 1816, the area of the canton of Schinne became part of the Stendal district .
