Eckernförde, Administrative district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

The district of Eckernförde extends over 775 square kilometers along the Baltic Sea coast between the cities of Schleswig and Kiel.

The Prussian administration established Eckernförde as one of twenty districts within the province of Schleswig-Holstein in 1867, maintaining this status until 1970.

The district's identity manifests through its coat of arms, featuring blue lions on yellow background from Schleswig and a white nettle leaf on red from Holstein.

The administrative center of Eckernförde provided governmental services and coordinated regional development for communities across the northern German countryside.

The district included segments of the Kiel Canal, connecting the North Sea to the Baltic Sea through its territory before the administrative reorganization.
