history

The area of ​​the Fritzlar district stretched like a long hose from Niedenstein and Holzhausen (Hahn) in the north to Jesberg and Densberg in the southwest. It was bordered in the west by the Wolfhagen district and the principality of Waldeck (later the Free State of Waldeck), in the east by the districts of Melsungen and Homberg and in the south by the district of Ziegenhain .

The Fritzlar district was established in 1821, in execution of the electoral organizational edict of June 29, 1821, as a district of the Hessian province of Niederhessen from the three previous offices Fritzlar , Gudensberg and Jesberg as well as parts of the offices of Borken (the villages of Gombeth , Großenenglis , Kleinenglis , Kerstenhausen and Udenborn ) and Homberg (the villages of Uttershausen , Wabern and Zennern ). The districts took over the administrative tasks of the offices; for case law in the first instance the offices were Fritzlar , Gudensberg and Jesberg case in judicial authorities converted.

On January 1, 1837, the municipality of Römersberg moved from the Fritzlar district to the Homberg district. At the same time, the community of Densberg moved from the district of Ziegenhain to the district of Fritzlar. On November 18, the community of Gombeth moved from the Fritzlar district to the Homberg district.

The Fritzlar district in 1842 included the towns of Fritzlar , Gudensberg and Niedenstein , as well as 48 villages and 10 farms with a total of 3,725 houses and 28,516 inhabitants.

As a result of the March Revolution , the district was combined with the Homberg and Ziegenhain districts to form the Fritzlar district in 1848 . This reorganization was reversed in 1851. Even after the annexation of Kurhesse by Prussia in 1866, the Fritzlar district remained in existence - from December 1868 in the newly created province of Hessen-Nassau .

On January 1, 1908, the district comprised three urban parishes, 47 rural parishes and 8 manor districts . The manor districts were dissolved in the 1920s.

Due to the compulsion to cost-cutting measures in the wake of the global economic crisis of 1929, the county was Fritzlar in 1932 as part of the so-called small administrative reform in Prussia with the county Homberg to circle Fritzlar-Homberg merged, which was renamed the county Fritzlar-Homberg on 1 January 1939th In 1974 this was combined with the districts of Melsungen and Ziegenhain to form the Schwalm-Eder district .
