Lenzenscher circle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lenzensche circle , also circle Lenzen was a mark of Brandenburg county in the Prignitz , which emerged in the course of the 16th century and until 1816/7 inventory. It was combined with the districts of Perleberg and Havelberg to form the district of Westprignitz in the district reform at that time .

Geographical location

The Lenzensche Kreis was in the far west of the Prignitz. It bordered in the north on the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin , in the east on the Perleberg district and in the west and south on the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg .

history

In the course of the 16th century, circles were formed in the Margraviate of Brandenburg, essentially organized according to the landscape, which in the 17th century were mostly called horse riders and headed by a land rider. Over time they developed their own administrative bodies and also had their own finances.

The Prignitz belonged within the Mark Brandenburg to the Kurmark and formed (around 1800) its own province (next to Altmark , Mittelmark and Uckermark ). Seven districts formed in the Prignitz, but they had no administration of their own. In this respect, the Prignitz was understood as a whole, with a district directorate, knighthood corpus (the political representation) and its own district treasury. However, the subordinate circles continued to exist.
