OderVerteilungen

OderVerteilungen refers to the division of the Neumark region, which was a territory in the Holy Roman Empire, into two separate jurisdictions in the 18th century and their further division into twelve districts.

The Neumark region was historically an imperial estate located in the northern part of the Holy Roman Empire. In the 18th century, it was divided into two parts: German Neumark and Polish Neumark. The division occurred due to the Third Partition of Poland in 1793. As a result, the territory was allocated to the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Prussia joined it to its province Brandenburg. From 1815 until 1867, the two Neumark regions were part of the Province of Posen within the Kingdom of Prussia.

In 1867, during the Ausgleich (Compromise) that reorganized the provinces of the Kingdom of Prussia, the German Neumark was separated from the Province of Posen and became part of the Province of Brandenburg. Polish Neumark, on the other hand, continued to be part of the Province of Posen. The districts in the German Neumark were created in reaction to the division of Germany following the Ausgleich. They were Kalau, Briesen, Göritz, Prötzel, Friedeich, and Alt Sandminne OLD district was created later.
