History

Mecklenburgische Seenplatte II – Landkreis Rostock III was created in 2002, then known as Bad Doberan – Güstrow – Müritz. It contained parts of the abolished constituencies of Wismar – Gadebusch – Grevesmühlen – Doberan – Bützow, Güstrow – Sternberg – Lübz – Parchim – Ludwigslust, Rostock-Land – Ribnitz-Damgarten – Teterow – Malchin, Neubrandenburg – Altentreptow – Waren – Röbel, and Neustrelitz – Strasburg – Pasewalk – Ueckermünde – Anklam. Originally, it comprised the now-abolished districts of Güstrow, Müritz, and Bad Doberan. In the 2005 election, it lost the municipalities of Graal-Müritz and Sanitz and the Ämter of Carbäk, Rostocker Heide, and Tessin from the Bad Doberan district. In the 2013 election, it lost the remainder of its territory from the former Bad Doberan district, while expanding to cover most of the newly-formed Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district. It also acquired its current name.
