Pritzwalkischer Kreis

The Pritzwalkische Kreis , often also called the Pritzwalk district , was a Markbrandenburg district in the Prignitz , which developed in the course of the 16th century and lasted until 1816. In the administrative reform of that time, it was combined with the Wittstock and Kyritz districts and parts of the Havelberg district to form the Ostprignitz district .

geography

The Pritzwalkische Kreis bordered in the north on the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in the east on the Wittstockische Kreis (Kreis Wittstock) and the Kyritzische Kreis (Kreis Kyritz), in the south on the Havelbergische and Plattenburgische Kreis and in the west on the Perlebergische Kreis .

history

In the course of the 16th century, circles were formed in the Margraviate of Brandenburg, which were essentially organized according to the landscape, in the 17th century mostly called horse riders, 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.
