Saatzig district

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district of Saatzig , until 1938 district of Saatzig , was a Prussian district in Pomerania until 1945 . It was named after Saatzig Castle . The district town was the city of Stargard , which had formed its own urban district since 1901 . After the Second World War , the district was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in the summer of 1945 in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . Today the district corresponds roughly to the northern part of the Stargardzki powiat in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship .

history

The Saatzig district in the 18th century
Saatzig district in 1905

The area of ​​the later Saatzig district had belonged to the domain of the Pomeranian dukes since the 12th century. As the border area to the Mark Brandenburg , the southern areas were the subject of border wars for a long time between the two ruled areas. After the Thirty Years War the area came under the Prussian Duchy of Western Pomerania . A district reform was carried out in Western Pomerania in 1723/24. The number of counties and associated district administrators was noticeably reduced in order to lessen the strong territorial fragmentation that had arisen as a result of the complicated aristocratic estates in Western Pomerania. Among other things, the possessions of those of Borcke-Pansin and Wedel-Freienwalde came to the Saatzig district . The district now included the cities of Freienwalde in Pomerania , Jacobshagen , Massow , Stargard and Zachan , the royal offices of Dölitz, Friedrichswalde, Marienfließ, Massow and Saatzig as well as a large number of noble villages and estates .

By the provincial authorities ordinance of April 30, 1815, the Saatzig district became part of the Stettin administrative district in the Pomeranian province . During the district reform of 1818 in the administrative district of Stettin, the delimitation of the Saatzig district was changed:

In 1871 the Saatzig district comprised the five towns of Freienwalde i.Pomm., Jacobshagen, Nörenberg, Stargard and Zachan, 92 rural communities and 77 manor districts .

On April 1, 1901, the city of Stargard left the district and became an independent city. On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in the district, as in the rest of Prussia, in which all independent manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the Saatzig district was given the name Landkreis in accordance with the now unified regulation .

In the spring of 1945 the district was occupied by the Red Army and, like all of Western Pomerania, was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement for the time being. Most of the residents of the district were subsequently evicted by the local Polish administrative authorities .

Local constitution

The Saatzig district was divided into cities, rural communities and - until their complete dissolution in 1929 - independent manor districts . With the introduction of the Prussian Municipal Constitutional Act of December 15, 1933, there was a uniform municipal constitution for all Prussian municipalities from January 1, 1934. With the introduction of the German Municipal Code of January 30, 1935, a uniform municipal constitution came into force in the German Reich on April 1, 1935, according to which the previous rural municipalities were now referred to as municipalities . A new district constitution was no longer created; The district regulations for the provinces of East and West Prussia, Brandenburg , Pomerania , Silesia and Saxony from March 19, 1881 continued to apply .

traffic

As early as 1846, the Berlin-Stettiner Eisenbahn- Gesellschaft ran its route from Stettin to the district town of Stargard> 111.0 <. In the following year the Stargard-Poznan Railway Company joined> 116.c < in the direction of Arnswalde - Kreuz . In the direction of Köslin in Hinterpommern , the line of the Berlin-Stettin Railway Company continued in 1859> 111.0 <.

After a long break, the network grew again when the Stargard-Cüstriner Railway Company started operations in 1882 > 116.a <.

From 1895 onwards, further routes closed the gaps in the district's railway network:

The Prussian State Railways connected Wulkow with Kallies "115.a".

In the same year the Saatziger Kleinbahnen AG traversed the circle from Stargard via Trampke to Zamzow with its first meter- gauge line , where it continued in an easterly direction to Janikow in 1897> 113.j <. A second line branched off in 1895 in Alt Damerow to Daber from> 113.j² <. The third line from Kashagen to Klein Spiegel Gut was added in 1896> 113.j³ <, so that there was now a small railway network of over 100 km in the district.

(The numbers in> <refer to the German course book 1939).

Sponsorship

In 1959 the Oldenburg in Holstein district took over the sponsorship of the former Saatzig district. This sponsorship is continued by today's Ostholstein district . As part of the sponsorship, the Saatzig homeland and sponsorship meeting takes place in Ostholstein every two years.
