Lebus district

The district area 1905

The district of Lebus , until 1939 district Lebus , until the 19th century also called Lebuser district , was a district in Brandenburg until 1950 . It existed in Prussia , in the Soviet occupation zone and in the GDR . On January 1, 1945, the district comprised the six towns of Buckow , Fürstenwalde (Spree) , Lebus , Müllrose , Müncheberg and Seelow , 110 other communities and four forest estate districts .

Today, the former district is largely part of the Märkisch-Oderland and Oder-Spree districts . A small part of the original district , east of the Oder , with the municipalities of Neu Lebus and Tirpitz , was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union in 1945 and has since been located in the Powiat Słubicki of the Polish Lebus Voivodeship .

Administrative history

Country of Lebus

The land of Lebus has been mentioned in documents since the 13th century ; it probably existed several centuries earlier. The area corresponded roughly to that of the later Lebus district, possibly a little further south to over the Schlaube, and to the east of the Oder that of the later Sternberg district .

The offices of Lebus and Fürstenwalde were formed in the 16th century,

Lebusian Circle

In the 17th century the Lebusische Kreis was established in the Mark Brandenburg.

Lebus district in the 19th century

As part of the formation of provinces and administrative districts in Prussia, a district reform took place in the Frankfurt administrative district in 1816 , which changed the delimitation of the district as follows:

• The northern part of the district, including the places Alt Tucheband , Friedrichsaue , Genschmar , Golzow , Gorgast , Hathenow , Kienitz , Letschin , Libbenichen , Manschnow , Ortwig , Rathstock , Sachsendorf , Werbig , Wilhelmsaue and Zechin , became part of the new Cüstrin district .
• The city of Frankfurt (Oder) and the surrounding towns of Boossen , Buschmühle, Karthaus, Kliestow , Lossow , Rosengarten , Schiffersruh, Tzschetzschnow and Ziegelei became part of the new Frankfurt district .
• The places Klein Buckow, Hasenholz and Garzin moved from the Oberbarnim district to the Lebus district.

The district office of the Lebus district was initially located outside the district area in the city of Frankfurt an der Oder.

On January 1, 1827, the Frankfurt district was dissolved again. The district of the district, the area outside the city of Frankfurt, initially came completely to the Lebus district. On January 1, 1836, the places originally from the Sternberg district changed from the Lebus district back to the Sternberg district.

On January 1, 1836, the Cüstrin district was dissolved again and the area that had belonged to the Lebus district until 1816 was reintegrated into the Lebus district. In 1863 the district office was relocated to the town of Seelow .

North German Confederation / German Empire

Since July 1, 1867, the district belonged to the North German Confederation and from January 1, 1871 to the German Empire . On September 30, 1929, a territorial reform took place in the Lebus district in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which all manor districts except four were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. As of January 1, 1939, the district of Lebus was named Landkreis in accordance with the now uniform rule . On May 17, 1939, the communities Güldendorf , Kliestow , Lichtenberg , Markendorf and Rosengarten left the district and became the city of Frankfurt a. Incorporated.

In spring 1945 the district was occupied by the Red Army after heavy fighting over the Seelow Heights .

Soviet occupation zone / German Democratic Republic

After May 8, 1945, the district largely belonged to the Soviet occupation zone . The communities of Neu Lebus and Tirpitz , located opposite the city of Lebus on the eastern bank of the Oder, were placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union in the spring of 1945 . Subsequently, the local Polish administrative authorities expelled the local population from this part of the district .

With effect from March 15, 1946, by resolution of the presidium of the provincial administration of Mark Brandenburg, the municipalities of Bleyen and Küstrin-Kietz , located on the left bank of the Oder, of the dissolved district of Königsberg Nm. to the district of Lebus. The law on the amendment to improve the district and municipal boundaries of April 28, 1950 resulted in a number of territorial changes on July 1, 1950:

• The district of Lebus was renamed the district of Seelow .
• The town of Fürstenwalde and the municipality of Hangelsberg became part of the new Fürstenwalde district , and on August 1, 1951, the municipality of Berkenbrück .
• The communities of Biegen , Biegenbrück , Boossen , Brieskow-Finkenheerd , Dubrow , Hohenwalde , Jacobsdorf , Kaisermühl , Lossow , Müllrose, Oberlindow , Pillgram , Unterlindow and Weißenspring came to the new Frankfurt (Oder) district .
• The communities of Lichtenow , Rehfelde , Werder and Zinndorf moved from the Niederbarnim district to the Seelow district.
• The communities Altbarnim , Neubarnim , Neutrebbin , Sietzing , Wuschewier and Zelliner Loose moved from the Oberbarnim district to the Seelow district.

In 1952 there was another comprehensive regional reform in the GDR :

• The communities Arensdorf , Beerfelde , Briesen (Mark) , Buchholz , Demnitz , Falkenberg , Hasenfelde , Heinersdorf , Jänickendorf , Kersdorf , Madlitz , Neuendorf im Sande , Petersdorf , Schönfelde , Steinhöfel , Tempelberg , Trebus and Wilmersdorf moved to the Fürstenwalde district .
• The towns of Buckow and Müncheberg and the communities of Dahmsdorf , Eggersdorf , Garzin , Hasenholz , Hermersdorf , Hoppegarten , Lichtenow , Münchehofe , Obersdorf , Rehfelde, Waldsieversdorf , Werder and Zinndorf moved to the Strausberg district .
• All other communities formed the district of Seelow , which was assigned to the newly formed district of Frankfurt (Oder) .
