Uckermark District, Rural administrative district in northeastern Brandenburg, Germany

The Uckermark district spreads across 3,058 square kilometers, featuring 600 lakes, 2,800 kilometers of rivers, and extensive agricultural landscapes with the Oder River marking its eastern border.

Established in 1993 through the merger of Angermünde, Prenzlau, and Templin districts, this region traces its origins to Slavic settlements called Ukrani along the Uecker River.

The district maintains agricultural traditions as Brandenburg's primary grain production center, with Prenzlau serving as its administrative and cultural capital.

The Lower Oder Valley National Park provides extensive hiking trails and cycling routes, connecting visitors to natural habitats of ospreys, beavers, and otters.

The district's coat of arms incorporates architectural elements from Prenzlau and Angermünde churches, along with the griffin of Pomerania and Brandenburg's red eagle.
