history
A district of Cottbus had existed in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1818, and after the Second World War it belonged to the state of Brandenburg . During the first district reform in the GDR in 1950, the Cottbus district was enlarged to include the cities of Cottbus , Forst and Guben, which had been independent until then , and part of the Guben district . At the same time, several communities were transferred to the districts of Lübben , Spremberg and Senftenberg .
On July 25, 1952, there was an extensive administrative reform in the GDR , during which, among other things, the GDR states were dissolved and new districts set up. The Cottbus district was redesigned and the Guben district re-established. In addition, the forest district emerged from the district area . From the remaining district area, including smaller areas of the districts of Lübben, Spremberg and Senftenberg, the new district of Cottbus was formed, which was assigned to the newly formed district of Cottbus . The district seat was in the city of Cottbus , which initially remained a district member. The district was part of the Sorbian settlement area.
On March 1, 1954, the town was Cottbus spun off from among Cottbus and acyclic. The remaining district has since been called the district of Cottbus-Land .
On May 17, 1990, the Cottbus-Land district was renamed the Cottbus district. In the course of reunification , the Cottbus district came to the state of Brandenburg. As part of the Brandenburg district reform , the Cottbus district was dissolved on December 6, 1993 and incorporated into the new Spree-Neisse district.
