history
The district of Spree-Neisse was created on December 6, 1993 in the course of the district reform in Brandenburg from the former districts of Cottbus , Guben , Forst and Spremberg . The district of Guben was incorporated into this district against his will (see also the Oder-Spree district ).
As part of the municipal reform in 2003 , the district had to cede the municipalities of Gallinchen , Groß Gaglow and Kiekebusch (previously the Neuhausen / Spree district ) to the city of Cottbus against its declared will . According to the will of the state government, the remaining municipalities of this office were to be merged into the non-official municipality of Neuhausen / Spree . Due to formal errors, this merger did not take effect until September 19, 2004.

District Administrator
- 1994–2010: Dieter Friese (SPD)

However, due to the low turnout of 26.4%, Friese missed the required quorum of 15% of eligible voters. As a result, the district council had to decide. He elected Altekrüger on April 19, 2010 in accordance with Section 72 (3) of the Brandenburg Local Election Act for a term of office of eight years as District Administrator.
Altekrüger was confirmed in office for a further term of eight years in the district council election on May 6, 2018 with 60.8% of the valid votes.
