geography

location

The ground moraine landscape of the district is a legacy of the last Ice Age. Glacier advances resulted in terminal moraine hills that are 104 m above sea level in the Fuchberg . NN and in the Windmühlenberg 102 m above sea level. Reach NN. The district of Wismar comprised the strongly structured section of the Wismar Bay as the southernmost area of ​​the Baltic Sea and the 36 km² island of Poel . In the south the district had a share of the Schweriner See , in the southeast the Mecklenburg Lake District extended into ( Neuklostersee , Großer Wariner See ). The so-called Wallensteingraben between the Baltic Sea and Schwerin Lake is an attempt, which remained unfinished in the 17th century, to develop the Viechelnsche voyage , which had been planned since the 15th century, as a navigable canal.

The area of ​​the district was 588 km². That corresponded to 8.3% of the area of ​​the Rostock district. The population was about 32,700 in 1985. That was 3.6% of the district's residents. The population density was 56 inhabitants per km².

Neighboring areas

The circle Wismar in the west of the district of Rostock made a collar around the city circle Wismar and bordered on the west by the district Grevesmuehlen , in the southwest of the district Schwerin-Land , in the southeast on the circle Sternberg , on the east by the county Bützow and to the northeast the Bad Doberan district .

history

After the dissolution of the states on July 25, 1952, the Mecklenburg district belonged to the newly formed Rostock district. The north-eastern part of the district fell to the newly created Bad Doberan district , parts of the southeastern district area to the new Sternberg district , and smaller areas in the west came from the Grevesmühlen 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 (called the district since May 17, 1990) was dissolved and together with the districts of Grevesmühlen and Gadebusch, which were also dissolved, and parts of the former districts of Schwerin and Sternberg, the district of Northwest Mecklenburg, which still exists today .

Economy and Infrastructure

Agriculture (grain, potatoes, sugar beets) was predominant in the district, and the products were processed in the factories of the city of Wismar. Many employees from the district worked in the port city, especially in the Mathias Thesen shipyard with over 6,000 employees. Tourism played a major role on the island of Poel and the beaches on Eggers Wiek and Wohlenberger Wiek , but also on the lakes in the south and south-east of the district.

The district was opened up by three long-distance roads: the F 105 (Rostock – Wismar – Lübeck), the F 106 (Wismar – Schwerin) and the F 192 (Wismar – Sternberg), all of which ran towards Wismar in a star shape. The Wismar – Lübeck or Wismar – Schwerin railway lines and the Wismar – Rostock line crossed the district, the Wismar – Sternberg railway line was of secondary importance; it is shut down today.
