history

The first historical forerunner of the Eckernförde district is Fræzlæt  - a Danish administrative area that existed around the year 1200.

After the German-Danish War in 1864, Schleswig-Holstein became a Prussian province in 1867 . One urban district and 19  rural districts , including the Eckernförde district, were formed. The Eckernförde district became “the town of Eckernförde ; the Schwansener and Dänischwohlder aristocratic goods districts and the Amte Hütten . ” This area included the parts of the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde and the city of Kiel that are now north of the Kiel Canal . The direct predecessors of the Eckernförde district were Eckernförde Harde, formed in 1853, and the historic Hütten Office (which existed until 1867) .

As early as 1878, Büdelsdorf and most of the municipalities of today's offices of Hohner Harde and Fockbek, a large part of the Eckernförde district came to the Rendsburg district . In 1894, the administration was in the in Borby newly built Kreishaus moved; In 1924, in the immediate vicinity, the previous teachers' seminar building was taken over , which from then on was called the District Office as an additional district administration building . Thus, until the incorporation of Borbys in 1934, the district administration was outside the district town. Holtenau , the manor district of Friedrichsort and Pries were incorporated into Kiel in 1922 and Schilksee in 1959 . Most recently the district comprised 55 communities.

The district went up on April 26, 1970 without the communities Kopperby and Olpenitz in the new district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde . Kopperby and Olpenitz were merged into a new municipality Kopperby, which came to the Schleswig district and was incorporated into Kappeln in 1974 .
