History

The district was established, with the other 13, on July 25, 1952, substituting the old German states. After October 3, 1990, it was abolished as part of the process of German reunification, becoming again part of the state of Saxony-Anhalt except Havelberg district, passed to Brandenburg.

Geography

Position

The Bezirk Magdeburg bordered with the Bezirke of Schwerin, Potsdam, Halle and Erfurt. It bordered also with West Germany.

Subdivision

The Bezirk was divided into 22 Kreise: 1 urban district (Stadtkreis) and 21 rural districts (Landkreise):

  • Urban district : Magdeburg.
  • Rural districts : Burg; Gardelegen; Genthin; Halberstadt; Haldensleben; Havelberg; Kalbe; Klötze; Loburg; Oschersleben; Osterburg; Salzwedel; Schönebeck; Seehausen; Staßfurt; Stendal; Tangerhütte; Wanzleben; Wernigerode; Wolmirstedt; Zerbst.
gollark: I'm sure it lets you define functions.
gollark: As planned.
gollark: Although I actually wrote the regex as```pythonWHITESPACE = r"[\t\n ]*"NUMBER = r"\-?(?:0|[1-9][0-9]*)(?:\.[0-9]+)?(?:[eE][+-]?[0-9]+)?"ARRAY = f"(?:\[{WHITESPACE}(?:|(?R)|(?R)(?:,{WHITESPACE}(?R){WHITESPACE})*){WHITESPACE}])"STRING = r'"(?:[^"\\\n]|\\["\\/bfnrt]|\\u[0-9a-fA-F]{4})*"'TERMINAL = f"(?:true|false|null|{NUMBER}|{STRING})"PAIR = f"(?:{WHITESPACE}{STRING}{WHITESPACE}:{WHITESPACE}(?R){WHITESPACE})"OBJECT = f"(?:{{(?:{WHITESPACE}|{PAIR}|(?:{PAIR}(?:,{PAIR})*))}})"VALUE = f"{WHITESPACE}(?:{ARRAY}|{OBJECT}|{TERMINAL}){WHITESPACE}"```which is much easier.
gollark: Regex is kind of like the APL of string pattern matching, in that it's very terse and expressive but incomprehensible.
gollark: Well, the regex engine is fine with it.
