Neusatz District (Serbian:Novosadski okrug orНовосадски округ;German:Neusatzer Distrikt,[1]Kreis Neusatz[2] from 1853;Croatian:Novosadski okrug;Hungarian:Újvidéki körzet;Slovak:Novosadský obvod) was one of five administrative districts (originallyDistricte, modern spellingDistrikte;Kreise,lit. 'circles', from 1853) of theVoivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar (a crown land withinAustrian Empire) from 1850 to 1860. Its administrative center wasNeusatz (Serbian:Novi Sad).
The crown landVoivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar was formed in 1849 and was initially divided into two districts:Batschka-Torontal andTemeschwar-Karasch. In 1850, crown land was divided into five districts and the territory of Batschka-Torontal District was divided among Neusatz District,Zombor District andGroßbetschkerek District.
In German the original term used for these subdivisions wasDistricte[1] (modern spellingDistrikte). In 1851 they were divided into subdivisions called(politische) Bezirke,[1] usually translated as '(political) districts'.
InBach's reforms from 1853 theDistricte becameKreise,[3] a form of administrative division already in use across much of the non-Hungarian part of the Empire since the 18th century. The termKreis, literally 'circle', is also often translated as 'district'. The subdivisions of theKreise were also calledBezirke in German, orAmtsbezirke [de] ('office districts', in reference to theBezirksämter or 'district offices' which ran them) to distinguish them from other types ofBezirk. The change of name was not superficial – different political, administrative and judicial structures were used in each subdivision type. (See alsoDistricts of Austria § Habsburg Monarchy and Austrian Empire.)
In 1860, theVoivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar and its five districts were abolished and the territory of the Neusatz District was divided amongBatsch-Bodrog County (part of theKingdom of Hungary) andSyrmia County (part of theAustrian Kingdom of Slavonia).
The Neusatz District included parts of southernBačka and northernSyrmia. It shared borders with theZombor District in the north,Großbetschkerek District in the north-east,Military Frontier in the south-east andAustrian Kingdom of Slavonia in the west.
According to 1850 census, the population of the district numbered 236,943 residents, including:[4]
