geography
location
The western part of the historical Prignitz landscape essentially coincides with the area of the Perleberg district. The rivers Löcknitz , Stepenitz and Karthane stretch from northeast to southwest in the direction of the Elbe , which borders the district in the south. The wide Elbe valley, which was used as pastureland, is adjoined by sandy soils with wide pine forests (Wilsnacker and Perleberger Forst). North of Perleberg, the area resembles an only slightly undulating park landscape.
Neighboring areas
The district of Perleberg bordered the Parchim district in the north, the Pritzwalk district in the east, the Kyritz district in the southeast, the Havelberg district in the south and Seehausen until 1965 and Osterburg from 1965 and the Ludwigslust district in the west .
history
The district of Perleberg was created when the states in the GDR were dissolved on July 25, 1952 from most of the former district of Westprignitz and the urban district of Wittenberge, which had been spun off from the district of Westprignitz in 1922. He was assigned to the newly formed Schwerin district. On May 17, 1990, the district was formally renamed the district of Perleberg . The district came to the newly founded state of Brandenburg on October 3, 1990 within the accession area to the Federal Republic of Germany . The town of Perleberg remained the seat of the district administration .

Economy and Infrastructure
Agriculture played a major role in many villages. In addition to grassland management in the river plains, intensive arable farming was carried out in the Perleberg district. In addition to growing fruit and vegetables (especially asparagus), there were a few smaller seed and dairy farms, two meat combines and sawmills in the district. In the city of Wittenberge there were companies in the textile and pulp industry and, from 1904, the Singer sewing machine factory (later Veritas ), which was known far beyond the district's borders.
Two important road connections crossed in Perleberg: the F 5 - transit road Berlin - Hamburg until the opening of the A 24 in 1982 - and the F 189 , which near Wittenberge represented the westernmost Elbe crossing within the GDR. Furthermore, the long-distance roads 107 and 195 led through the district.
The main railway line Magdeburg-Schwerin also crosses the Elbe in Wittenberge, from there trains run via Perleberg to Pritzwalk and via Neustadt (Dosse) to Berlin. The trains between (West) Berlin and Hamburg crossed the district without stopping after 1961.
Cumlosen was the border crossing point for shipping between the GDR and the Federal Republic.

In 1992 the administrative communities were formed in the district of Perleberg: Amt Karstädt , Amt Putlitz-Berge , Amt Plattenburg , Amt Bad Wilsnack / Weisen and in the district Pritzwalk u. a. the office of Groß Pankow , which encroached on the district.
The communities in the north of the district of Brunow and Dambeck moved to the district of Ludwigslust ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ) on July 18, 1992 , the former Berger districts of Pampin and Platschow (now districts of Ziegendorf ) came to the district of Parchim on the same day and thus also followed Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
In return, the municipalities of today's Lenzen-Elbtalaue office came on August 1, 1992 (essentially the former Markbrandenburg Lenzensche district , also called Lenzen district ), which had been separated from the Prignitz when the Perleberg district was formed and assigned to the Ludwigslust district, to the district of Perleberg and thus back to the state of Brandenburg. On December 6, 1993, the district of Perleberg was dissolved and, in the course of the Brandenburg district reform, combined with the districts of Pritzwalk and Kyritz to form the new district of Prignitz in northwest Brandenburg .
License Plate
In 1953, motor vehicles were given license plates with the first letter B in the entire Schwerin district (including in the Perleberg district) . Motor vehicles (with the exception of motorcycles) and trailers were assigned three-letter distinctive signs from around 1974 to the end of 1990, beginning with the letter pairs BM , BN and BO . The last series of license plates used for motorcycles was BT 10-41 to BT 37-10 .
At the beginning of 1991 the district received the distinguishing mark PER . It was issued until the end of 1993.
