MritzMritz is a Kreis (district) in the southern part of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Demmin, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the district-free city Neubrandenburg, the district Ostprignitz-Ruppin in Brandenburg, Parchim and Gstrow. Geography The name "Mritz" may also apply to the entire Mritz lakeland and especially to the Mritz National Park; the largest lake of this area, the Mritz lake, is sometimes called "the Mritz". The district of Mritz constitutes roughly the western half of the Mritz lakeland and the Mritz National Park. The Mritz lake has an area of 117 km; it is the second largest lake of Germany after Lake Constance, and the largest lake entirely within the German borders. For further information on the landscape, see Mritz National Park. History The district was created on June 12, 1994 by merging the previous districts Rbel and Waren, and a few municipalities from the districts Malchin and Neustrelitz.
