location

The ground moraine landscape of the district is a legacy of the last Ice Age. Glacier advances created terminal moraine hills , which near Gottesgabe-Rosenhagen in Hellberg 92 m above sea level. Reach NN . The rivers Maurine , Radegast and Stepenitz cross the area of ​​the district from south to north . Shields and brews arise in the south , flowing in the direction of the Elbe and thus on the other side of the North Sea-Baltic watershed . The western border of the district also formed the inner-German border . The section in the district of Gadebusch ran from the Großer Ratzeburger See via the Mechower See , the Lankower See and the Goldensee to the Niendorfer Binnensee , the northernmost branch of the Schaalsee .

The population of the district was around 24,400 in 1985. That was 4.1% of the residents of the district. The population density was 46 inhabitants per km².

Neighboring areas

history

The Mecklenburg district was created when the federal states were dissolved on July 25, 1952 from the western part of the Schwerin district , the southern outskirts of the Grevesmühlen district (until 1950 Schönberg district ) and the Rögnitz community of the Hagenow district and was assigned to the newly formed Schwerin district. The district came to the newly founded state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on October 3, 1990 within the accession area to the Federal Republic of Germany . On June 12, 1994, the district (referred to as the district since May 17, 1990) was dissolved and together with the districts of Wismar and Grevesmühlen, which were also dissolved, and parts of the former districts of Schwerin-Land and Sternberg, the district of Northwest Mecklenburg, which still exists today .

Economy and Infrastructure

The district was a decidedly agricultural area. In addition to the cultivation of sugar beet and grain, there were some industrial livestock farms, such as Rehna, Gadebusch, Reinhardtsdorf and Kirch Grambow.

The remoteness of the circle Gadebusch in the extreme northwest of the GDR brought restrictions for residents in the border areas only with special laissez-passer in the boundary restricted area could stop them.

The most important street in the district was the long-distance road 104 ( Selmsdorf - Rehna - Gadebusch - Schwerin ) and the branch line running parallel from Rehna to Schwerin. The F 208 ran - unlike today - from Rehna about Carlow for Lueders Strand district Herrnburg where they face Lübeck ended on the inner German border.
