Lübben County (Landkreis Lübben 1816/1836 - 1993)

The county was established in 1816 as Lübben-Beeskow County, but the Lordship of Beeskow was separated from the rest in 1836 and the county was renamed. The territory of the county remained actually the same until 1944/1950. In 1950 the territory was shifted to the South. 24 municipalities were shifted to other counties but 65 municipalities were added. But already in 1952 the territory was lessened and some of the new municipalities in the South were given back to their former counties. Since then it didn't change no more until the dissolution of the county in 1993.

Lübben County Flag

There was no official county flag but the administration used white table flags with centred arms without approval.
