Kreis Schubin

Kreis Schubin was one of many Kreise (counties) in the northern administrative region of Bromberg, in the Prussian province of Posen, from 1815-1919. Its capital was Schubin (Szubin).

History

Kreis Schubin (1815-1919) was a Kreis (county) in the northern administrative region of Bromberg, in the Prussian province of Posen. The territory was created as part of the Grand Duchy of Posen (1815-1848, in personal union with Prussia) and later was part of the Prussian Province of Posen (1848-1919). On January 18, 1871, Kreis Schubin, along with all of Prussia, became part of Germany. The county's territory was reduced significantly in 1887 when the southern half of Kreis Schubin was used to create the new county of Znin.

Kreis Schubin was part of the military command (German: Bezirkskommando) at Hohensalza (Inowrocław). The main court (German: Landgericht) was in Bromberg (Bydgoszcz), with lower courts (German: Amtsgericht) in Schubin (Szubin), Exin (Kcynia), and Labischin (Łabiszyn).[1]

The Kreis was dissolved in 1919 when the territory became part of the Second Polish Republic. During World War II, the territory of the former Kreis became Landkreis Altburgund (Reichsgau Wartheland), 1939-1945.
