Uecker-Randow is a "Kreis" (district) in the eastern part of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. It is situated at the coast of the Baltic Sea and the Polish (Police County) border. Neighboring district are (from south clockwise) Uckermark in Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Ostvorpommern. To the east is the West Pomeranian Voivodship of Poland.

Geography

The district is named after the two main rivers running from the south to the north. The Uecker river runs through the towns of Pasewalk, Torgelow and Ueckermünde before entering the Baltic Sea. The Randow is a tributary of the Uecker; it is running through Eggesin and flows into the Uecker just a few kilometres above its mouth.

History

The district was created on June 12 1994 by merging the previous districts Pasewalk, Ueckermünde and part of the district Strasburg.
