On September 30, 1929, in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia, a regional reform took place in the Templin district , in which almost all manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On April 1, 1937, minor border straightening to Mecklenburg was carried out. The following were incorporated:

During the GDR district reform of 1952 , part of the district fell to the new Gransee district in the Potsdam district . The remaining district area became the Templin district , which was added to the newly formed Neubrandenburg district.
In December 1952, the communities Friedrichswalde and Parlow moved to the Eberswalde district in the Frankfurt (Oder) district .
