Landkreis Kolberg-Körlin

Kolberg-Körlin (earlier spelling Colberg-Cörlin) was a Landkreis (county) in the Prussian Province of Pomerania between 1872 and 1945. Its territory roughly corresponds with modern Kołobrzeg County (Polish: Powiat Kołobrzeski) and the western parts of modern Białogard County (Polish: Powiat Białogardzki) with Karlino, the former Körlin.

Kolberg-Körlin comprised the village of Altstadt (now Budzistowo), a predecessor of nearby Kolberg founded before 1000 A.D. Other early settlements in the region are Pobloth and Zwilipp, both of which are first mentioned in 1159 according to the Pomeranian Urkundenbuch, and the localities Drosedow, Jarchow and Rützow, first mentioned in 1180 by the same source. Most of Kolberg–Körlin’s other municipalities have records dating back to the 13th Century.

Colberg-Cörlin was created on 1 September 1872 as a partition of Kreis Fürstenthum, the successor of the Principality of Cammin. It belonged to the government region (Regierungsbezirk) Cöslin (later Köslin) in the Prussian province of Pomerania, and comprised rural regions as well as the towns of Colberg and Cörlin. The county seat was in Colberg.

Following World War I, Colberg-Cörlin was renamed Kolberg-Körlin.

After Prussia was effectively absorbed into the Third Reich following the Preußenschlag, Prussia and its districts, like all other German states under Hitler, was stripped of all genuine powers and were reduced to mere administrative units.
