Ludwigslust-Parchim District
Ludwigslust-Parchim District, Administrative district in western Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany.
Description
Ludwigslust-Parchim is a rural district in western Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania that stretches across wide areas of forests, fields and waterways. The region includes 142 municipalities and several lakes such as Goldberger See and Damerower See that shape the countryside character.
History
The county was created in September 2011 by merging the former districts of Ludwigslust and Parchim as part of an administrative reform. This reorganization aimed to simplify government structures in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and increase the efficiency of regional authorities.
Culture
The county administration works from two locations, with the main building in Parchim and a second office in the town of Ludwigslust carrying out its duties. This arrangement reflects the merger of the two former counties and ensures that both places continue to serve as administrative centers.
Practical
The area consists of 15 administrative units called Ämter and five independent towns that together provide local government services. Travelers exploring the region will find information points and basic facilities in the larger settlements.
