Kreis Samter

Its territory presently lies in the north-western part of Polish region of Greater Poland Voivodeship.

On 27 December 1918 the Greater Poland uprising began in the province of Posen, and on the same day the district town of Samter came under Polish control.

On 16 February 1919 an armistice ended the Polish-German fighting, and on 28 June 1919 the German government officially ceded the Samter district to the newly founded Poland with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

The district had a majority Polish population, with a significant German minority.

The five towns in the district were Obersitzko, Pinne, Samter, Scharfenort and Wronke.
