## History

Uckermark – Barnim I was created after German reunification in 1990, then known as Prenzlau – Angermünde – Schwedt – Templin – Gransee. It acquired its current name in the 2002 election. In the 1990 through 1998 elections, it was constituency 272 in the numbering system. In the 2002 and 2005 elections, it was number 57. In the 2009 election, it was number 58. Since the 2013 election, it has been number 57.
Originally, the constituency comprised the independent city of Schwedt and the districts of Prenzlau, Angermünde, Templin, and Gransee. It acquired its current configuration in the 2002 election, as Schwedt, Angermünde, Prenzlau, and Templin were merged into the Uckermark district. It lost Gransee while acquiring the northern part of the new Barnim district, as well as the entirety of the Amt of Groß Schönebeck. Upon the abolition of Amt Groß Schönebeck ahead of the 2005 election, the municipality of Marienwerder and the former municipality of Zerpenschleuse were transferred out of the constituency. In the 2013 election, it gained the municipality of Wandlitz and the Amt of Biesenthal-Barnim.
