- 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. The administrative district Mecklenburg-Strelitz existed from 1994 to 2011. With the district reorganisation of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from September 2011 the administrative district was dissolved and its offices and municipalities were integrated into the new administrative district “Mecklenburgische Seenplatte”. The administrative headquarters are in Neubrandenburg, the archive in Neustrelitz.
