Office Bockenem

The Amt Bockenem was a historic administrative district of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover .

history

In 1174, Wohldenberg Castle appears as the seat of the dynasty of the same name (later Counts of Wohldenberg). From 1275 in the possession of the bishops of Hildesheim, it developed into the center of the Wohldenberg office .

In addition, the office of Bilderlahe was formed around the Burg Wohldenstein, which has been in the bishopric of Hildesheim since 1357 . Both offices came to Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel in 1524 after the Hildesheim collegiate feud and were returned to the Prince Diocese of Hildesheim in 1643. In the course of the secularization of the bishopric they fell to Prussia in 1802 and were abolished.

In 1815 the two offices were restituted. The Bilderlahe office was expanded to include Lamspringe in 1815 and merged with the Winzenburg office in 1828 . In 1836 the newly formed Alfeld (Leine) office was separated from this. During the territorial reform of 1852, the previously unofficial town of Bockenem , the former second district bailiwick of the Wohldenberg district and the villages of Klein Ilde and Wohlenhausen of the Bilderlahe district were formed into the Bockenem district. In 1854 the villages of Groß Rhüden, Mechtshausen and Bilderlahe were added. In 1859 the Wohldenberg office was abolished and merged with the Bockenem office. Since 1867, the Bockenem office with the Liebenburg and Wöltingerode offices and the non-official city of Goslar formed the Liebenburg (tax) district. In 1885 it became part of the new Marienburg district .
