Franzburg-Barth district
The district of Franzburg-Barth (before 1928 district of Franzburg , from 1945 district of Stralsund ) was a district that existed in the Prussian province of Pomerania and, since 1946, in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania of the SBZ or GDR between 1818 and 1952. The former district area is now part of the Vorpommern-Rügen district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
geography
The district formed the westernmost tip of Pomerania and the area around the city of Stralsund . It lay on the coast of the Baltic Sea and comprised the Zingst and Darß peninsulas (but not the Fischland , which belongs to Mecklenburg ), the Bock island and the Kleine Werder archipelago as well as the bodies of water of the Darß-Zingster Bodden chain ( Saaler , Bodtstedter and Barther Bodden and Grabow ). In the east, the district extended to the Strelasund , which separates the Pomeranian mainland from the island of Rügen .
In the west, the Recknitz formed a natural boundary. There the district bordered on Mecklenburg-Schwerin and from 1933 on the Rostock district of the unified state of Mecklenburg . In the south, the district bordered the Pomeranian district of Greifswald and in the east on the independent city of Stralsund.
Administrative history
Kingdom of Prussia
In 1806, under Swedish rule, Neuvorpommern was divided into the four offices (Swedish: Härade ) Bergen , Franzburg, Greifswald and Grimmen . New Western Pomerania, which fell to Prussia in October 1815 and became part of the Pomerania Province , was formed into the Stralsund District in 1818 . The Swedish offices formed in 1806 became Prussian districts , including the Franzburg district of Franzburg , which was also known as the Franzburg district at the time . It included the cities of Barth , Damgarten , Franzburg , Richtenberg and Stralsund along with their rural surroundings. The district office was in Franzburg.
Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and from January 1, 1871 to the German Empire . In 1871 it comprised five cities, 34 rural communities and 152 independent manor districts . In 1873 the city of Stralsund left the Franzburg district and from then on formed its own urban district .
Free State of Prussia
On October 1, 1925, the district office was relocated from Franzburg to Barth. After a fire in the previous district office in Franzburg, there were political discussions about the future district seat. In the decisive district council meeting, Franzburg was unable to assert itself against the alternative locations of Barth and Stralsund by keeping the district office in the city. Barth was awarded the contract as the new location of the District Office. On February 1, 1928, the Franzburg district was given the name Franzburg-Barth .
On September 30, 1929, a territorial reform took place in the Franzburg-Barth district, as in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which all independent manor districts except for one were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On October 1, 1932, the Stralsund administrative region was dissolved and attached to the Stettin administrative region . On January 1, 1939, the received county Franzburg-Barth the term in accordance with the rich now unified control district .
State of Mecklenburg
In 1945 the district administration was moved to the city of Stralsund and the name of the district was changed to Stralsund district . The district now belonged to the state of Mecklenburg newly founded by the Soviet occupation authorities , which, in addition to Mecklenburg, also included the parts of Western Pomerania that remained German after the separation of the German eastern territories .
The community of Ahrenshoop was reclassified to the district of Rostock on October 1, 1945 . On October 1, 1948, the island community of Hiddensee was reclassified from the Rügen district to the Stralsund district.
GDR / Rostock district
In the first of the district reforms in the GDR , the district gave the city of Damgarten and the communities Daskow , Kückenhagen , Langendamm , Saal and Tempel to the Rostock district on July 1, 1950 . A major administrative reform took place in the GDR in 1952, in which the five states were dissolved and replaced by 14 districts and most of the districts were replaced by smaller districts. The Stralsund district was also dissolved:
- The island community of Hiddensee became part of the new Bergen district .
- The western half of the district together with parts of the dissolved Rostock district formed the new Ribnitz-Damgarten district .
- The eastern half of the district together with parts of the dissolved district of Grimmen formed the new district of Stralsund-Land .
- Like all Mecklenburg and Western Pomerania coastal regions, the new districts of Bergen, Ribnitz-Damgarten and Stralsund-Land were assigned to the new Rostock district .
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania from 1990
Since 1994, with the exception of the towns incorporated into Stralsund, the former district area belonged to the district of North Western Pomerania , which at the time was formed from the districts of Stralsund, Ribnitz-Damgarten and Grimmen , and since 2011 it has belonged entirely to the district of Western Pomerania-Rügen .
