Administrative history
Prussia
Western Pomerania , which fell to Prussia in 1720 , was divided into the five districts of Anklam , Demmin , Randow , Usedom and Wollin in the 18th century . The districts of Usedom and Wollin had a common district administrator and in some representations were also viewed as one district. The district of Usedom comprised the island of Usedom , to which the Caseburg , which later became an island, also belonged, and the district of Wollin included the island of Wollin . During the district reform of 1818 in the administrative district of Stettin , a common district of Usedom-Wollin with the district town of Swinoujscie was finally established. Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and since January 1, 1871 to the German Empire . In 1871 the district included the three cities of Swinoujscie, Usedom and Wollin , 89 rural communities and 38 manor districts .
On September 30, 1929, as in the rest of Prussia, a territorial reform took place in the Usedom-Wollin district, in which most of the manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. On January 1, 1939, the received county Usedom-Wollin the term in accordance with the rich now unified control district .
Soviet occupation zone / GDR
In the spring of 1945 the district was occupied by the Red Army . After the end of the war, the entire island of Wollin and of the island of Usedom the city of Swinoujscie and the municipality of Kaseburg were placed under Polish administration. The remaining part of the district was incorporated into the Soviet occupation zone as the district of Usedom and belonged to the GDR from 1949 . The district administration was in Bansin from October 1945 to March 1946 , then in Ahlbeck until the district was dissolved .
The district of Usedom was dissolved on July 25, 1952 as part of the administrative reform in the GDR. Its area together with parts of the districts of Anklam and Wolgast formed the district of Wolgast , which was assigned to the Rostock district . Since 1994 the former district area belonged to the district of Ostvorpommern and since 2011 it belongs to the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald .

Local constitution
The district of Usedom-Wollin was divided into the cities of Swinoujscie, Usedom and Wollin, in rural communities and - until their almost complete dissolution in 1929 - in independent manor districts. With the introduction of the Prussian Municipal Constitutional Act of December 15, 1933, there was a uniform municipal constitution for all Prussian municipalities from January 1, 1934. With the introduction of the German Municipal Code of January 30, 1935, a uniform municipal constitution came into force in the German Reich on April 1, 1935, according to which the previous rural municipalities were now referred to as municipalities . On January 1, 1940, the Peenemünde army estate district was established in the northwestern tip of the island of Usedom . A new district constitution was no longer created; The district regulations for the provinces of East and West Prussia, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia and Saxony from March 19, 1881 continued to apply.
