Seehausenscher circle

This article deals with the Kurmärkische Kreis. See also: District of Seehausen (1952–1965), GDR.

The Seehausensche Kreis was a Kurmärkischer district in what was then Altmark ( Mark Brandenburg ). It comprised areas that are today in the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel and in the district of Stendal in Saxony-Anhalt . From 1806 to 1813 the area belonged to the department of the Elbe of the Kingdom of Westphalia . The Seehausensche Kreis was dissolved during the restoration in the district and provincial reform in the Kingdom of Prussia in 1816 and merged into the new Osterburg district of the Prussian province of Saxony .

geography

The Seehausensche Kreis was in the northern part of the Altmark, bounded in the north by the Elbe, which here formed the border with Prignitz. It bordered in the west on the Arendsee district and the Electorate of Hanover , in the south on the Arneburg district , in the south on the Stendal district and in the southeast on the Arneburg district .

history

In the course of the 16th century in the Margraviate of Brandenburg, organized circles emerged according to the landscapes or the so-called soft formations of the larger cities , in the 17th century also called horsemen or land riders, which were headed by a war commissioner. The executive officer was the Landreiter, hence the name Beritt. In the Mittelmark , the districts developed their own administrative bodies (district directorate) and their own representative offices (corpus, pl. Corpora), which also had their own finances or district coffers.

Six circles were created in the Altmark. In contrast to the Mittelmark and comparable to the situation in the Prignitz , they formed in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the 19th century, in fiscal and rural terms, there was only one district, which only had a district directorate (= regional directorate), a knightly corpus and a district treasury (= provincial treasury). The six districts initially had their own war commissioner and later district administrator. While the Stendal and Salzwedel districts retained their own district administrators, only one district administrator was appointed for the Tangermündeschen and the Arneburg district (exact date not known) and, from 1735, also for the Arendsee and Seehausen districts.

The provincial directorate for the Altmark consisted of a provincial director (rarely two provincial directors) and sent a deputy from among their ranks as a representative of the Altmark knighthood to the provincial parliaments of the Kurmärkische landscape. In addition, there was a dike captain, a war commissioner and an Oberlandeinnehmer (tax officer) as well as land takers (tax officers ) for the individual districts, with one land taker each being responsible for the Tangermündesche and the Arneburg district and from 1735 for the Arendsee and Seehausenschen districts. A land rider was responsible for each district. From around 1775, the supervision of the dykes was transferred to the Elbdeichdirektorium of the Altmark, which was subordinate to the Royal Kurmärkischen War and Domain Chamber Deputation in Stendal. In addition, a first and a second dike captain have now been appointed.

The name Seehausenscher Kreis follows Friedrich Wilhelm August Bratring (1804). In the older work by Anton Friedrich Büsching from 1775, it is also called Seehausenscher Kreis .

In the Peace of Tilsit in 1806 Prussia had to cede the Altmark and thus also the Seehausenschen district to the Kingdom of Westphalia . The Seehausensche Kreis was based on the districts of Stendal and Salzwedel of the department of the Elbe . In 1811, Graf von der Schulenburg-Bodendorf was sub-prefect of the Stendal district, Johann Ludwig von Westphalen was sub-prefect of the Salzwedel district. Seehausen became the seat of the canton Seehausen with ten municipalities. The Salzwedel district came to the department of the Nieder-Elbe on September 1, 1810, but greatly reduced in size for a few months . After its dissolution in March 1811, the Salzwedel district was re-connected to the Elbe department and also received some cantons from the former Electorate of Hanover. After the dissolution of the Kingdom of Westphalia in October / November 1813, the old district division was restored until 1816. In the major district and provincial reform in Prussia in 1816, the Seehausensche Kreis was dissolved and merged into the newly created Osterburg district .
