Magdeburg was one of the three Regierungsbezirke of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, located in the north of the country. Becoming effective on January 1, 2004 the Regierungsbezirk was disbanded. Its functions were taken over by the Landesverwaltungsamt, which has three offices at the former seats of the Bezirksregierungen.
Neighboring districts are (from north clockwise) Altmarkkreis Salzwedel, Stendal, Jerichower Land, the district-free city Magdeburg, B?dekreis, and the districts Helmstedt and Gifhorn in Lower Saxony.
In 1680 the area of the district became part of Brandenburg, and the Holzkreis roughly covering the area of the Ohrekreis was created.
In 1994 the two district were merged to the new district Ohrekreis, including a few municipalities from the districts Stendal and Kl?ze.
