Salzwedel district
The district of Salzwedel , until 1939 district of Salzwedel , was from 1816 to 1945 a district in the Prussian province of Saxony and from 1945 to 1952 in the state of Saxony-Anhalt of the SBZ or the GDR .
Administrative history
19th century
As part of the Prussian administrative reforms after the Congress of Vienna , the Salzwedel district was established in the administrative district of Magdeburg in the Prussian province of Saxony on July 1, 1816 . The district office was in Salzwedel . On January 1, 1819, the municipality of Wernstedt was reclassified from the Salzwedel district to the Gardelegen district . Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and since January 1, 1871 to the German Empire .
20th century
On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in the Salzwedel district, as in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which all independent manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the Salzwedel district was given the designation Landkreis in accordance with the now unified regulation . After the dissolution of the province of Saxony on July 1, 1944, the district belonged to the new province of Magdeburg , administrative district of Magdeburg.
In the spring of 1945 the district was occupied by the American allied forces, and in the summer it became part of the Soviet occupation zone . The city of Salzwedel left the district on January 1, 1946 and has since formed its own urban district. From 1949 the town and district of Salzwedel belonged to the GDR.
On July 1, 1950, the GDR underwent its first administrative reform :
- The town of Salzwedel, which has been an independent city since 1946, was reintegrated into the Salzwedel district.
- The town of Kalbe (Milde) and the communities of Altmersleben , Böckwitz , Bühne , Dönitz , Immekath , Jahrstedt , Kunrau , Nesenitz , Neuendorf , Neuferchau , Steimke and Vahrholz moved from the Salzwedel district to the Gardelegen district .
- The communities of Binde , Fleetmark , Kaulitz , Kerkau , Mechau and Schernikau moved from the Osterburg district to the Salzwedel district.
- Many poorly populated communities in the Salzwedel district lost their independence.
In the course of the administrative reform of 1952 in the GDR, the district boundaries were changed again:
- The communities of Baars , Badel , Brunau , Cheinitz , Dolchau , Güssefeld , Hagenau , Jeetze , Jeggeleben , Kahrstedt , Läge , Mehrin , Packebusch , Plathe , Recklingen , Saalfeld , Sallenthin , Thüritz , Vienau , Vietzen , Winterfeld and Zethlingen came to the new district of Kalbe .

- All other communities formed the Salzwedel district .
- The districts of Salzwedel, Kalbe and Klötze were assigned to the new district of Magdeburg .
On January 1, 1988, some communities from the northern part of the dissolved Kalbe district were joined to the Salzwedel district. After the reunification of the two German states the group was founded in 1990 in the back country of Saxony-Anhalt to the district Salzwedel , who at the district reform of 1994 in the Altmark Salzwedel opened.
