history
In 1925, the Parchim office was formed from the old Parchim and Lübz offices in Mecklenburg-Schwerin as one of ten new offices in Mecklenburg. The cities of Goldberg, Lübz, Parchim and Plau, as well as 135 other communities belonged to the 131,903.1 hectare area. Parchim was the official residence for 53,666 residents. In 1933 the Parchim District became Parchim District . After Mecklenburg-Schwerin was united with Mecklenburg-Strelitz to form a state of Mecklenburg in 1934 , the name of the district was changed to Parchim district in 1939 . In 1939, 125 communities with 54,942 inhabitants belonged to the district.
After the Second World War , the district belonged to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the Soviet occupation zone . The state name was changed to Mecklenburg in 1947 on Soviet orders . Since 1949 it belonged to the German Democratic Republic .
The old Parchim district was divided into the new Parchim and Lübz districts on July 25, 1952 as part of the dissolution of the federal states . Both districts were assigned to the Schwerin district . Today's Parchim district was given its shape in 1994 by merging the Parchim and Lübz districts and parts of the Sternberg and Schwerin-Land districts .
In the course of a district reform in 2011 , the Parchim district became part of the new Ludwigslust-Parchim district on September 4, 2011 .
