geography

Neighboring areas

The Belzig district bordered clockwise in the north, beginning with the Brandenburg-Land , Potsdam-Land , Luckenwalde , Jüterbog , Wittenberg and Roßlau ( Halle district ) and Zerbst ( Magdeburg district ) districts.

history

The district was formed in the course of the administrative reform of 1952 from parts of the Zauch-Belzig district.

On May 17, 1990, the district was renamed the Belzig district. With the German reunification in 1990, a new formation of the countries in the accession area took place. The district of Belzig became part of the state of Brandenburg on October 3 or finally on October 14, 1990 (date of the state election). As a result of a district reform , the district of Belzig was merged on December 6, 1993 together with the districts of Potsdam and Brandenburg (and thus without the cities of Potsdam and Brandenburg an der Havel ) to form the district of Potsdam-Mittelmark . The new district administration took its seat in Bad Belzig.
