history

A district of Calau had existed in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1816, and after the Second World War it belonged to the state of Brandenburg . During the first district reform in the GDR in 1950, the Calau district was renamed Senftenberg district after minor changes to the area .

On July 25, 1952, an extensive administrative reform took place in the GDR , in which, among other things, the states of the GDR were dissolved as administrative units and new districts were set up. From parts of the districts of Lübben , Luckau and the former district of Calau (at that time the district of Senftenberg), a district of Calau was again formed, which was assigned to the newly formed district of Cottbus . The district seat was in the city of Calau . The district was part of the Sorbian settlement area.

On May 17, 1990 the district became the district of Calau. On the occasion of the reunification , the district of Calau was awarded to the state of Brandenburg. In the course of the Brandenburg district reform , the Calau district was dissolved on December 6, 1993 and incorporated into the new Oberspreewald-Lausitz district.
