Civil Registry Districts

Each Standesamt was responsible for maintaining the records of the people in its districts. The color-coded map below details these districts in an easy-to-view format for researchers looking for nearby registry offices. A few notes must be made about special circumstances. Natztow officially belonged to the registry office of Rarfin; however, many of its citizens also registered births, marriages, and deaths in the nearby Standemin registry. Roggow’s Standesamt was also divided by the Kreis Stadt of Belgard (seen in red). Despite this lack of contiguity, the district served both the north and south halves of the registry office.
