OderSpree

OderSpree is a former district in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. It was located in the eastern part of Brandenburg, bordering Poland. The district was formed in 1993 through the merger of the former districts of Frankfurt (Oder) and Beeskow. Its administrative seat was the city of Frankfurt (Oder).

The district was named after the two major rivers that flow through the region: the Oder River and the Spree River. The landscape of OderSpree was characterized by forests, lakes, and wetlands, making it a popular area for tourism and outdoor activities. The economy was primarily based on agriculture, forestry, and some industry.

In 2003, as part of a municipal reform in Brandenburg, OderSpree was merged with the district of Eisenhüttenstadt to form the new district of Oder-Spree. Frankfurt (Oder) remained the district capital of the new, larger entity. The historical OderSpree district encompassed a significant portion of the modern Oder-Spree district. Its geographical location and natural resources played a key role in its development and identity prior to the administrative changes.
