history

When the law on the amendment to improve the district and community boundaries came into force on April 28, 1950, the district boundaries of the old district of Spremberg were slightly changed. The Spremberg district received three communities from the Cottbus district and one community from the Senftenberg district, in return it ceded one community to the Senftenberg district.

On May 17, 1990, the district was renamed Spremberg County. On December 6, 1993, the Spremberg district was dissolved. The successor was the district of Spree-Neisse , which was newly created from the districts of Forst (Lausitz) , Guben , Spremberg and Cottbus as part of the regional reform of the state of Brandenburg .
