- Archival history:
- The district archives are responsible for the files of the district of Rostock and its predecessor authorities since 1952, the archives of the district archives of the assigned institutions of the district, as well as documents of the councils of the towns and municipalities and of cooperatives, enterprises and institutions of the health and social service up to 1990. In addition to the files, the archive holds material collections such as newspapers, postcards, photos, calendars and posters, as well as an archive library with historical and regional historical literature, which is open to the public as a reference library.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- In 1952, three years after the foundation of the GDR, the existing states of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia were dissolved in an administrative reform and the territory of the GDR was divided into 14 districts with East Berlin as the so-called 15th district. Until reunification, the districts formed the middle level of state administration. Mecklenburg had 3 districts – Rostock, Schwerin and Neubrandenburg, each with 10 or 14 rural districts and 1 to 4 urban districts as a further subdivision. The district reforms of 1994 and 2011 changed the layout of the districts twice, and also partially changed the allocation of the individual municipalities to the district. With the formation of the district in 1952 came the order to establish district archives. They are the forerunners of the present district archives.
