Ueckermünde district
The Ueckermünde district was a district in the northeast of the Neubrandenburg district in the German Democratic Republic . The council of the district sat in Ueckermünde .
location
The flat area of the Ueckermünder Heide , consisting of pine forest, extended over almost the entire district. In addition to the Neustrelitz district, the Ueckermünde district was the most densely forested district in the Neubrandenburg district. The arable land was only a little over 10% and was concentrated around Ferdinandshof . In addition, there was around 200 km² of the drained Friedländer Großer Wiese in the west of the district, which was used as grassland. The island of Riether Werder in Neuwarper See , a bay on the Oderhaff , also belonged to the district .
The rivers Uecker and Zarow flow through the district into the Oderhaff, the Randow flows into the Uecker near Eggesin . At an average of barely 10 m above sea level. NN lying area of the circle formed a corner portion of the Brohmer mountains in the southeast the exception ( Schanzenberg , 125 m above sea level. NN).
Area and population
The area of the Ueckermünde district was 789 km². That corresponded to 7.2% of the area of the Neubrandenburg district.
The population was around 51,400 in 1985. That was 8.3% of the residents of the Neubrandenburg district. The population density was 65 inhabitants per km².
Neighboring areas
The northern border of the Ueckermünde district ran through the middle of the Kleiner Haff , the western part of the Oderhaff , in the east the People's Republic of Poland bordered the district, in the south the Pasewalk district , in the southeast the Strasburg district and in the east the Neubrandenburg-Land and Anklam districts .
history
The Western Pomerania district was spun off from the Pasewalk district created two years earlier on July 25, 1952 , and after the dissolution of the states it belonged to the newly formed district of Neubrandenburg.
The core area of the district was identical to the district of Ueckermünde , which had existed since 1818, was expanded in 1939 by 32 communities from the former district of Randow and was separated in 1945 by the Oder-Neisse line . The eastern parts around Neuwarp , Mützelburg and Ziegenort came to Poland.
From July 25, 1952, the southeast part of the former Anklam district (communities Leopoldshagen, Lübs, Neuendorf A, Altwigshagen and Wietstock) as well as the Friedländer Große Wiese from the former Mecklenburg-Strelitz belonged to the district of Ueckermünde .
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 (again referred to as the district since May 17, 1990) was dissolved. From then until the district reform in 2011 , the area formed the district of Uecker-Randow together with parts of the districts of Pasewalk and Strasburg, which were also dissolved . Only the communities Neuendorf A and Wietstock from the Ueckermünde district came to the Ostvorpommern district .
Economy and Infrastructure
The economic profile of the Ueckermünde district differed fundamentally from the other districts in the district. Due to the very high proportion of forests, forestry was an important factor. In Grambin, Mönkebude and Ueckermünde-Bellin on the Haff coast, tourism played a major role in summer. Many residents worked as civilian employees in the military facilities of the NVA sites in and around Torgelow and Eggesin . In the GDR era, Eggesin and the neighboring Torgelow were synonymous with the army for thousands of conscripts. The industry in the Ueckermünde district was characterized by iron foundries and processing (including VEB foundry and mechanical engineering "Max Matern" Torgelow ) and brickworks (Ueckermünde).
The cities of Torgelow, Eggesin and Ueckermünde were a bit off the national transport routes. The main road 109 (Berlin-Greifswald), which is particularly popular with Usedom holidaymakers in summer, and the main line Berlin - Stralsund of the Deutsche Reichsbahn ran through the west of the district. The railway line from Pasewalk to Ueckermünde was of great regional importance . During the GDR era, there were no border crossings on the approximately 15-kilometer-long land border with Poland.
