Kreis Hohensalza, known as Kreis Inowrazlaw until 1904, was a Kreis (district) in the northern administrative region of Bromberg, in the Prussian province of Posen. It was located within the Bromberg Government Region, first in the Grand Duchy of Posen (1815-1848, in personal union with Prussia) and then in the Prussian Province of Posen (1848-1919). On 18 January 1871 the Kreis, along with all of Prussia, became part of Germany. Kreis Hohensalza was part of the military command (German: Bezirkskommando) at Hohensalza (Inowrocław). The main regional court (German: Landgericht) was in Bromberg (Bydgoszcz), with a magistrate's court (German: Amtsgericht) in the capital city Hohensalza (Inowrocław).
