history

In the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Prussia had to cede the Altmark and the Duchy of Magdeburg west of the Elbe, among other areas, to the Kingdom of Westphalia, newly founded that year. 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 Seehausen. Ten communities belonged to the canton of Seehausen (original spellings that differ from today's spelling are in italics):
