Kreis Sagan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kreis Sagan was a Prussian district in Silesia, with its capital at Sagan. It existed 1742 til 1932, when it was dissolved and most of its territory was merged into the Sprottau district, with some smaller areas being assigned to other adjacent districts.[1] The former Prussian district is now a part of Poland (exclusive the Pechern area (Neiße region), today part of Saxony).
