Office of Aerzen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Aerzen office was a historical administrative area of ​​the Principality of Calenberg , later of the Kingdom of Hanover with its seat in Aerzen .

history

Aerzen Castle was first mentioned in 1283. It was owned by the Counts of Everstein and developed into the center of a larger administrative district by the middle of the 14th century. In 1408 the office with the County of Everstein fell to the Guelphs ( Principality of Calenberg ) and was mostly pledged in the following period. It was not until 1660 that it finally passed into sovereign administration.

After the Franco-Westphalian rule, the office was restored and in 1823 it was combined with the Office of Lachem and the City Bailiwick to form the Office of Hameln . During the judicial reform of 1852, a district court remained in Aerzen , the district of which essentially corresponded to the old office. In 1854 it became independent again as a full office, but in 1859 it finally became part of the Hameln office and in 1885 in the Hameln district .
