Principality district

The principality district in the 18th century

The Fürstenthum district , actually Fürstenthum Cammin district , was a Prussian district in Western Pomerania until 1872 . Its county seat was the city of Köslin . The former district area is now in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland .

Administrative history

After the Thirty Years' War the diocese of Cammin was secularized as the Principality of Cammin and in the Peace of Westphalia (Treaty of Osnabrück) - together with the rest of the Pomerania - Brandenburg-Prussia was awarded.

The principality of Cammin continued to exist as a Prussian district. The district included the cities of Bublitz , Kolberg , Körlin and Köslin , the royal offices of Bublitz, Kasimirsburg, Kolberg, Körlin and Köslin as well as a large number of noble villages and estates .

The eleven villages belonging to the Kolberg Cathedral Chapter were incorporated into the district in 1811 after this territory had been secularized. As a result of the provincial authorities ordinance of April 30, 1815, the Fürstenthum district became part of the Köslin administrative district in the Pomerania province .

During the Pomeranian district reform of 1818, the Fürstenthum district was enlarged by 29 villages in the Greifenberg district and three villages in the Ostenschen district .

The district, which was unusually large for the time, was divided into the three districts of Bublitz , Kolberg-Körlin and Köslin on September 1, 1872 .
