Ringkøbing: Military Lægd Numbers after 1870

Back to Denmark Page►

Usually the military levy districts called lægd (-er) match the parish organization within each county. With the changes to the military obligation law of March 6, 1869, there were 6 registration districts (Kreds) created instead of using the county structure. After reunification in 1920 a 7th district (Sønder Jylland) was established.

From 1870 on, the lægds were organized sequentially within each Udskrivningskreds. The county of Ringkøbing was assigned to Udsrkivningskreds number 5.
