Glien-Löwenberg Circle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Glien-Löwenbergische Kreis (also Glien- und Löwenbergischer Kreis or Glien-Löwenberg District ) was a district of the Mittelmark in the Mark Brandenburg . It first developed in the 18th century as a sub- circle of the Havelländisches Kreis . In 1770 it became an independent district and existed until 1817. The seat of the district administration was the town of Kremmen .

geography

The Glien-Löwenberg district comprised the little country of Glien and the country of Löwenberg, which were separated by the Ruppiner Canal, drawn in 1787 and its continuation in the Kremmener See . According to Bratring (1805) it took up an area of ​​11.5 square miles, which corresponds to about 652.5 km² according to the miles length used at that time. Of this, 4 square miles (226.95 km²) were in the state of Löwenberg and the remaining 7.5 square miles (425.5 km²) in the little country of Glien. In 1750 the (lower) district had 10,255 inhabitants, in 1800 there were 13,846 inhabitants.

The Glien-Löwenberg district bordered the Ruppin and Uckermärk districts in the north, the Uckermark and Niederbarnim districts in the east, the Havelland districts in the south, and the Havelland and Ruppin districts in the west. Between Oranienburg and Heiligensee , the Oberhavel formed the natural border with the Niederbarnimische Kreis.

history

The Glien-Löwenberg district was created from the connection of the little country of Glien and the country of Löwenberg, which originally did not form a unit. While the Ländchen Glien was traditionally assigned to the Havelland , this was not the case with the Land Löwenberg. In 1270 the Margraves of Brandenburg exchanged their property in the state of Löwenberg with the Bishops of Brandenburg for an area around Königsberg in the Neumark . The margravial property with Löwenberg Castle as its center had previously made up most of the Löwenberg region. The Bishops of Brandenburg subsequently enlarged their holdings there, so that the Land Löwenberg belonged entirely to them in the middle of the 14th century. At that time, however, parts of the state of Löwenberg had already come to the aftervasals of the bishops. In 1460, Bishop Dietrich von Stechow finally sold the land of Löwenberg to Hans von Bredow for 4000 Rhenish gold guilders as a hereditary fief .

With the formation of the district administration in the Kurmark in the 16th century, the area of ​​the small country Glien and the country Löwenberg, i.e. the area of ​​the later Glien-Löwenberg district, was assigned to the emerging Havelländische district. In the 17th century, the sub-circle of the Glien-Löwenberg district gradually developed within the Havelland district. In the following years this sub-group became more and more independent. But it was not until 1770 that the district also received the status of a completely independent district.

In 1817 the Glien-Löwenberg district was dissolved again. Most of it was combined with part of the Havelländisches Kreis to form the Osthavelland district . The remaining parts came to the districts of Templin (Badingen, Osterne, Hellberge, Mahnhorst, Mildenberg, Zabelsdorf, Liebenberg, Hertefeld-Luisenhof and Bergsdorf), Ruppin (Hoppenrade, Moncaprice, Grüneberg, Löwenberg, Neuendorf, Schleuen, Teschendorf, Neuhof and Neukammer) and Niederbarnim (Germendorf).
