Bördekreis

The Bördekreis was a district (Kreis) in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

Neighboring districts were (from north clockwise) Ohrekreis, district-free city of Magdeburg, Schönebeck, Aschersleben-Staßfurt, Quedlinburg, Halberstadt and the district Helmstedt in Lower Saxony.

In 2007 the districts of Bördekreis and Ohrekreis were merged into a new Landkreis Börde.

[1] The district got its name from the landscape it is located in, the Magdeburger Börde.

Due to the fertile loess soil it was for long an agricultural area.
