The Amt Butjadingen was an administrative district of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg and the later Free State of Oldenburg . The seat of the office was in Ellwürden in the municipality of Abbehausen . The function of the Oldenburg offices largely corresponded to the function of the districts in the rest of the German Empire .

history

In the Butjadinger Land, the offices of Burhave and Abbehausen were established in 1814. Burhave , Eckwarden , Langwarden , Tossens and Waddens belonged to Burhave ; Abbehausen , Atens , Blexen , Seefeld and Stollhamm belonged to the Abbehausen office . The offices of Burhave and Abbehausen were merged in 1858 to form the Stollhamm office. As part of another administrative reform, the Stollham office was dissolved again in 1879. In its place came the Office Butjadingen, which was made up of the municipalities of the dissolved Office Stollhamm and the municipality Esenshamm from the dissolved Office Ovelgönne. In 1908 the municipality of Atens received town charter and was renamed Nordenham. During the administrative reform of 1933, the Butjadingen office was dissolved and merged completely with the new Wesermarsch office , which became the Wesermarsch district in 1939 .
