The district area 1905

The district of Bütow , until 1939 district of Bütow , was a Prussian district in Pomerania , which existed between 1846 and 1945. Its county seat was the city of Bütow . The former district area is now in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship .

Administrative history

The district of Bütow was created on January 1, 1846 from the southern part of the Lauenburg-Bütow district , the district of Bütow. The Lauenburg-Bütow district emerged in 1773 from the Lauenburg and Bütow lands . The district belonged to the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . In 1871 the town of Bütow, 39 rural communities and 25 manor districts belonged to the district .

After the Polish Corridor was established in January 1920 according to the Versailles Treaty , there was an exchange of territory between Poland and the German Empire on November 30, 1920 in the area of ​​the Bütow district . The villages of Zukowken and Mühlchen, which belonged to the West Prussian district of Karthaus , came to the district of Bütow, while the localities of Pommersch Prondzonka, Althütte near Buchwalde and Schellews moved from the district of Bütow to Poland. For the district of Bütow this meant an assignment of 8.36 km² to Poland with a simultaneous gain of 15.35 km².

On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in the Bütow district, as in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which all manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the district of Bütow was given the designation Landkreis in accordance with the now uniform rule .

In the spring of 1945 the area of ​​the district was occupied by the Red Army . It placed the district under the administration of the People's Republic of Poland , which subsequently expelled the population from the district . The former district area has been within the Powiat Bytowski since 1999 .

Local constitution

The district of Bütow was initially divided into the city of Bütow, into rural communities and - until their dissolution in 1929 - into independent manor districts. With the introduction of the Prussian Municipal Constitutional Act of December 15, 1933, there was a uniform municipal constitution for all Prussian municipalities from January 1, 1934. With the introduction of the German Municipal Code of January 30, 1935, a uniform municipal constitution came into force in the German Reich on April 1, 1935, according to which the previous rural municipalities were now referred to as municipalities . These were grouped together in administrative districts . A new district constitution was no longer created; The district regulations for the provinces of East and West Prussia, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia and Saxony from March 19, 1881 continued to apply.
