The Wismar Office was formed in Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1925 from the old Wismar Office and the Warin Office . In 1933 the Wismar district became the Wismar district . The city of Wismar remained independent. After Mecklenburg-Schwerin was united with Mecklenburg-Strelitz in 1934 to form a state of Mecklenburg , in 1939 the name of the district was changed to the district of Wismar . On April 1, 1938, the Hohen Pritz community moved from the Wismar district to the Parchim district .
