from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district of Naugard , until 1938 district Naugard , was a Prussian district in Pomerania until 1945 . It emerged in 1818 from the Daber-Naugard-Dewitz circle founded in 1724 . The district was in Western Pomerania, northeast of Stettin . The county seat was the city of Naugard . After the Second World War , the district was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in the summer of 1945 in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . The district area today corresponds roughly to the powiat Goleniowski in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship .

history

The Daber-Naugard-Dewitz circle in the 18th century
The Naugard district in 1905

In Western Pomerania , which had belonged to Prussia since the Thirty Years War , a district reform was carried out in 1723/24. The number of counties and associated district administrators was reduced in order to reduce the strong territorial fragmentation that had arisen as a result of the complicated aristocratic estates in Western Pomerania. By decree of October 30, 1724, the Daber-Naugard-Dewitzsche Kreis was formed, in which the noble family von Dewitz owned extensive estates. The district included the cities of Daber and Naugard , the royal office of Naugard and a large number of noble villages and estates .

As a result of the provincial authority ordinance of April 30, 1815, the Daber-Naugard-Dewitzsche Kreis became part of the administrative district of Stettin in the province of Pomerania . As a result of the district reform in the administrative district of Stettin on January 1, 1818, the district, now only known as the Naugard district, was significantly enlarged:

  • The town of Gollnow and the surrounding villages moved from the Randow district to the Naugard district.
  • The city ​​and the office Massow , the office Friedrichswalde and other villages moved from the district of Saatzig to the district of Naugard.
  • Seven villages moved from the Flemming district to the Naugard district.
  • At the same time, 21 villages moved from the Daber-Naugard-Dewitzschen district to the new Regenwalde district

In 1871, the Naugard district comprised the four towns of Daber, Gollnow, Massow and Naugard, 101 rural communities and 49 manor districts .

On September 30, 1929, all independent manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the Naugard district was given the designation Landkreis in accordance with the now unified regulation .

On October 15, 1939, a regional reform took place in the Stettin area, in the course of which the delimitation of the Naugard district was changed:

  • The communities Arnimswalde, Bergland, Friedrichsdorf, Hornskrug, Langenberg, Oberhof, Schwabach, Schwankenheim, Wilhelmsfelde and Wolfshorst from the disbanded Randow district moved to the Naugard district.
  • The communities of Augustwalde and Franzhausen left the Naugard district and were incorporated into the urban district of Stettin .

The area of ​​the district increased from the original 1229 km² to 1262 km². In the spring of 1945 the district was occupied by the Red Army and, after the end of the war in the summer of 1945, like all of Western Pomerania, it was placed under Polish administration in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . Most of the residents of the district were subsequently evicted by the local Polish administrative authorities .

District administrators

Local constitution

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

traffic

Apart from a station of the Berlin-Stettiner Eisenbahn- Gesellschaft in the far south of the district, which was served in 1846, the area remained without rail traffic> 111.0 <until 1882. Then the Prussian State Railroad opened a line from Altdamm via Gollnow and Naugard in the direction of Kolberg, from which the line to Wietstock branched off in Gollnow in 1892> 111.c + d <. From there it was not until 1909 that the route to Plathe crossed the northern tip of the district> 111.h <.

Around this time the local Naugarder Kleinbahnen added two lines to the rail network:

  • 1902 from Naugard to Daber> 113.1 <and
  • 1903 from Gollnow to Massow> 113.k <

In Daber there was a connection to the narrow-gauge lines of the AG Saatziger Kleinbahnen to Stargard> 113.j <and the Regenwalder Kleinbahnen AG to Regenwalde> 113.m <, which were opened in 1895 and 1896 respectively . In the north-west of the district there was a stop on the Gülzow - Kantrack line operated by Greifenberger Kleinbahnen AG > 113.q < since 1903 .
