Administrative history

Kingdom of Prussia

As part of the formation of provinces and administrative districts in Prussia, a district reform took place in the administrative district of Potsdam in the Prussian province of Brandenburg with effect from April 1, 1817 , in which the three new districts of Angermünde, Prenzlau and Templin were formed in the Uckermark . The Angermünde district comprised the south of the Uckermark and the town of Oderberg , which until then belonged to the Oberbarnim district . The district office was in the city of Angermünde.

German Empire

Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and from January 1, 1871 to the German Empire .

On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in the Angermünde district in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which almost all manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the district was named Landkreis Angermünde in accordance with the now unified regulation .

In the spring of 1945 the district was occupied by the Red Army .

German Democratic Republic

The law on the amendment to improve the district and municipal boundaries of April 28, 1950 brought extensive changes to the area on July 1, 1950:

The territory of the Angermünde district was reduced in size during the GDR district reform of 1952 . The southern part of the district with the town of Joachimsthal became part of the newly formed Eberswalde district . The communities Blankenburg , Gramzow , Meichow , Neumeichow , Seehausen and Warnitz came to the Prenzlau district . The remaining district area belonged to the district of Frankfurt (Oder) as the district of Angermünde until 1990 . In 1961 Schwedt / Oder became an independent city.

Federal Republic of Germany

The districts of Angermünde, Prenzlau and Templin as well as the independent city of Schwedt / Oder were merged in 1993 to form the district of Uckermark .

Local constitution until 1945

The district of Angermünde was divided into cities, rural communities and - until their almost complete dissolution in 1929 - manor districts.

With the introduction of the Prussian Municipal Constitutional Act of December 15, 1933, there was a uniform municipal constitution for all Prussian municipalities from January 1, 1934. With the introduction of the German Municipal Code of January 30, 1935, a uniform municipal constitution came into force in the German Reich on April 1, 1935, according to which the previous rural municipalities were now referred to as municipalities . These were grouped together in administrative districts . A new district constitution was no longer created; The district regulations for the provinces of East and West Prussia, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia and Saxony from March 19, 1881 continued to apply.
