- Administrative/biographical history:
-
In 1952, three years after the founding of the GDR, the existing states of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia were dissolved in an administrative reform. The territory of the GDR was divided into 14 districts, East Berlin became the so-called 15th district. Until reunification, the districts formed the middle level of the state administration and took over the tasks of the state governments. Mecklenburg received three districts, Rostock, Schwerin and Neubrandenburg, each with ten or 14 rural districts and one to four urban districts. The rural and urban districts formed the 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 establishment of the district in 1952, the order was also issued to set up district archives. They are the forerunners of the present district archives.
