history
The official parish, formerly an official bailiwick, goes back to a judicial district known as Heidemark and documented for the first time in the 14th century, as well as to the provost property of the Walsrode monastery that was drafted in 1529. Court was held in Fallingbostel as early as 1371, and Going and Holting took place temporarily in Dorfmark until the middle of the 15th century . In monastery documents in 1402 and 1407 Frederick Stalknecht appears as the first Vogt known by name. Heinrich Hasselhorst was magistrate around 1560/70, then Lüder Kuhls (named 1595/97).
Since the second half of the 16th century, the district bailiff had been under the authority of the Grand Bailiff in Celle, whose powers were later restricted and completely revoked in 1772 and transferred to the legally qualified bailiff.
In 1756 the bailiff was also given the management of the Soltau District Bailiwick, so that after the Westphalian-French period the name Fallingbostel-Soltau District Bailiwick became common. In 1835 the Walsrode office was canceled and the Fallingbostel-Soltau District Bailiwick was handed over to administration.
After the revolution of 1848 was the Kingdom of Hanover , the jurisdiction of the administration separately and the newly created County Court Fallingbostel took over the tasks of the Court of first instance that was previously provided by the Office.
In 1852 the district bailiwick was officially converted into an office. At the same time, the area of the former Soltau District Bailiwick was separated again and the city of Walsrode and the court of Cordingen, which corresponded in size to the parish of Walsrode, were incorporated. In 1859 another 10 villages of the Rethem (Aller) district were added, namely the Boitzen court, which comprised the Kirchboitzen parish and the part of the Hollige parish belonging to the Düshorn parish . In 1865 the seat of the local court was moved from Fallingbostel to Walsrode . In 1885 the district constitution was introduced and the new district Fallingbostel was expanded to include the abolished Ahlden office .
