The Schivelbein district was a Prussian district that belonged to the Mark Brandenburg until 1816 and then to the province of Pomerania . The district office was in the town of Schivelbein . The district was dissolved in 1932. The former district area today essentially belongs to the powiat Świdwiński in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland.

Administrative history

In the post-medieval period, the Margraviate of Brandenburg was divided into circles . One of these historical circles was the Schivelbeinische Kreis or Kreis Schivelbein , which formed one of the four so-called rear circles in the Neumark .

As part of the Prussian administrative reforms after the Congress of Vienna , the Schivelbein district moved from the Mark Brandenburg in 1816 to the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . It remained unchanged in its outer circumference with the borders at that time until 1932. Its population tripled from 8,460 in 1816 to over 22,000 in 1925. Since the 18th century, nine district administrators have headed the administration. The district office had been located at Neue Straße 16 (later Glasenappstraße ) in Schivelbein since 1877 .

In 1925 the district had an area of ​​503 km².

On September 30, 1929, a regional reform took place in the Schivelbein district in line with developments in the rest of the Free State of Prussia , in which the independent manor districts were dissolved and assigned to neighboring rural communities. When the Schivelbein district was dissolved on October 1, 1932, it was the smallest district in the Pomeranian province with 22,726 inhabitants. Eleven of its twelve administrative districts with 38 municipalities and the city of Schivelbein came to the Belgard district . The administrative district Labenz with the communities Labenz , Nuthagen and Rützow came to the district of Dramburg .

The district council and the population had unanimously but unsuccessfully opposed the dissolution of the Schivelbein district. District Administrator Paul Schuelke had unsuccessfully submitted a memorandum in 1925 in which he had proposed to add the Bad Polzin region, which was based on Schivelbein in terms of transport and economy, to the district . When the Polish powiat Świdwiński was set up after 1945, the same idea put forward by Schuelke was realized; Bad Polzin alias Połczyn-Zdrój has belonged to the Schivelbein area since then.
