Mecklenburg Strelitz 1815-1934

Mecklenburg Strelitz, limits autonomous (part) duchy of the Mecklenburgian state and from a line of the dukes to Mecklenburg governed, became 1701 after succession to the throne controversy of many years for thatMecklenburgian dynasty from three rule parts in an educated manner: the rule Stargard in the Mecklenburgian southeast, the Principality of Ratzeburg at the Mecklenburgian west border south of Luebeck as well as the Komturei Mirow. Establishment document represented a dynastischer house contract, the third Mecklenburgian main landing hurrying to that sealed andas “Hamburg Erbvergleich” national history entered. The definitions met thereby had with slight later rework and a short intermediate phase of 1848 to 1850, in which only the region Mecklenburg Schwerin carried out the step to a modern condition state, up to the endthe monarchy existed.

On the Viennese both (governing) dukes received congress to Mecklenburg - under it also the regents from Mecklenburg Strelitz - a title on improvement to Grand Dukes to Mecklenburg. Since there were at the same time always two Mecklenburgian regents, one added their Haupttitel tobetter distinction the name of the respective partial rule (- Schwerin, - Strelitz) in addition. These title additives were used however only colloquially and were at no time part of the official Titulatur.

Relating to domestic affairs Mecklenburg Strelitz was assigned 1701 a subordinate role in the Mecklenburgian Ständestaat. With regard to foreign policy both actedMecklenburgian partial states since 1701 always together and by agreement. Both (part) Grand Duchies of Mecklenburg Schwerin and Mecklenburg Strelitz 1867 Federal States north Germans of the federation became logical and since 1871 of the German Reich. Mecklenburg Strelitz had thereby 1 voice in the Upper House of Parliament.

After the fall of the monarchy 1918 attained Mecklenburg Strelitz for the first time as Free State in its history political autonomy and remained as “independent and independent” country of the German Reich (§ 1 of the national Basic Law of 23. May 1923). The maintenance of the political independence as one of the smallest German statesproved however already after short time as impossible. After plans of an entry to Prussia had politically not proven as interspersable, took place under National Socialist pressure to the 1. January 1934 the reunification with Mecklenburg Schwerin to the country Mecklenburg.

The 1994 formed district Mecklenburg Strelitz bears again the old name, enclosure however only parts of the former Mecklenburgian partial duchy and stands in no right follow-up to it.
