Landkreis Heydekrug
Landkreis Heydekrug (1818–1945) was an administrative territorial entity of East Prussia, located in Lithuania Minor.
The seat was in Heydekrug (modern Šilutė). In 1913, Karkeln and surrounding inland towns (those south of the yellow line in the map) were administratively transferred to Kreis Niederung.[1] After World War I, Landkreis Heydekrug and other areas north of the yellow line became part of Memel Territory administered by Lithuania.
Since 1945 the area belonged to the Soviet Union, a Southern part to Kaliningrad Oblast, a northern part to Lithuanian SSR.
