Oststernberg district
The Prussian district of Oststernberg , until 1939 Oststernberg , in the province of Brandenburg existed from 1873 to 1945. Today, the former district area is essentially in the powiat Sulęciński of the Polish Lebus voivodeship . The district finally comprised the four cities of Königswalde , Sonnenburg , Sternberg (Neumark) and Zielenzig , 73 other communities and two forest estate districts .
Administrative history
The district was created in 1873 when the Sternberg district was split into the Oststernberg and Weststernberg districts . The district office of the new Oststernberg district was in the city of Zielenzig.
On September 30, 1929, a territorial reform took place in the Oststernberg district in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which all manor districts except two were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the Oststernberg district was given the name Landkreis, in accordance with the now unified regulation .
In the spring of 1945 the district was occupied by the Red Army . After the end of the war, the region and the district were placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union . The displacement of the local population began as early as August 1945 . At the same time, the immigration of Polish and Ukrainian migrants began, some of whom came from areas east of the Curzon Line that had fallen to the Soviet Union . The majority of the migrants came from the formerly Polish areas in Ukraine.
