Kreis Schubin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kreis Schubin was one of many Kreise (counties) in the northern administrative region of Bromberg, in the Prussian province of Posen, from 1815 to 1919. Its capital was Schubin (Szubin).
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 Kreis Znin.
Kreis Schubin was part of the military command (German: Bezirkskommando) at Hohensalza. The main court (German: Landgericht) was in Bromberg, with lower courts (German: Amtsgericht) in Schubin, Exin, and Labischin.[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 in Reichsgau Wartheland from 1939 to 1945.
