The district of Haldensleben , until 1938 district of Neuhaldensleben , was a district in the Prussian province of Saxony , later in the state of Saxony-Anhalt of the Soviet zone of occupation and the GDR . It existed between 1816 and 1952.

Administrative history

Due to the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, the present Duchy of Magdeburg came to Brandenburg-Prussia in 1680. In 1716, when the administration was reorganized, the existing wood district was subdivided into three districts, with the towns and municipalities of the later district of Neuhaldensleben having the “3 District ”. Due to the lost war of 1806/07 against Napoleonic France, Prussia had to cede all territories west of the Elbe in the Tilsit Peace, which Napoleon assigned to the newly formed Kingdom of Westphalia . The district came to the Neuhaldensleben district of the Elbe department .

As part of the district structure in Prussia after the Congress of Vienna , the Neuhaldensleben district was set up in the administrative district of Magdeburg in the province of Saxony on July 1, 1816 . The district office was in the city of Neuhaldensleben .

On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in Prussia , during which almost all independent manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. In the Neuhaldensleben district, the Gehringsdorf estate district from the Wanzleben district was incorporated into the Wormsdorf community of the Neuhaldensleben district.

Since the merger of Althaldensleben and Neuhaldensleben to form the town of Haldensleben on April 4, 1938, the district also had this new name. On January 1, 1939, the district was given the designation Landkreis in accordance with the now unified regulation .

On April 1, 1941, the new Hillersleben Army Estate District was formed. After the dissolution of the province of Saxony on July 1, 1944, the district belonged to the new province of Magdeburg . In April 1945 , the district was occupied by US Army troops.

Soviet occupation zone / German Democratic Republic

As part of the demarcation of the occupation zones after the Second World War, the Preussisch Offleben community moved to the Helmstedt district in the British occupation zone in the summer of 1945 and was merged with the Offleben community there. On July 1, 1950, the GDR underwent its first administrative reform :

• The communities Ausleben , Barneberg , Hötensleben , Ohrsleben and Wackersleben moved from the district of Haldensleben to the district of Oschersleben (Bode) .
• The municipalities of Behnsdorf , Belsdorf , Berenbrock , Born , Böddensell , Calvörde , Dorst , Döhren , Eickendorf , Eschenrode , Everingen , Flechtingen , Weferlingen , Hasselburg , Hödingen , Klinze , Ribbensdorf , Seggerde , Uthmöden , Walbeck and Wieglitz moved from the Gardelegen district to the District of Haldensleben.

In the course of the major administrative reform of July 25, 1952 , there were further changes to the area:

• The communities of Eilsleben , Ovelgünne , Ummendorf , Wefensleben and Wormsdorf moved from the district of Haldensleben to the district of Wanzleben .
• The communities Harbke , Marienborn , Sommersdorf and Völpke moved from the district of Haldensleben to the district of Oschersleben .
• All other communities in the district of Haldensleben, together with the communities of Bösdorf , Klüden , Etingen , Gehrendorf , Kathendorf , Lockstedt , Mannhausen , Velsdorf and Wegenstedt of the district of Gardelegen, formed the district of Haldensleben , which was assigned to the new district of Magdeburg.

The license plates were H or M from 1953 to 1990 .

Federal Republic of Germany

In 1994 the district became part of the Ohrekreis , which in turn became part of the Börde district in 2007.
