Economy and Infrastructure
Agriculture and forestry played the main role in the Sternberg district, while tourism was of secondary importance. Large farms were located in Warin and Sternberg, industrial animal production in Wilhelmshof and Kobrow (pig fattening), in Borkow and Kuhlen (cattle fattening) and in Warin (fish farming). There were wood processing companies in Dabel and Sternberg. The building materials industry in Blankenberg and Ventschow used the nearby gravel and clay deposits.
Dabel was an NVA site (including 5th artillery regiment).
The main traffic axes in the district were the F 104 and the F 192 , which connected the district with the surrounding larger cities. The main railway line Schwerin-Rostock crossed the district in the north, in Blankenberg the branch line crossed from Wismar via Warin, Brüel and Sternberg to Goldberg .
