From 1 January 2010, the district lost its administrative power while seeing its constituent municipalities being divided and partly resettled in the Bern-Mittelland (administrative district), whose administrative centre is Ostermundingen but also in the Thun (administrative district), whose administrative centre being Thun.
Since 2010, it remains therefore a fully recognised district under the law and the Constitution (Art.3 al.2) of the Canton of Berne.
