Office Elbingerode

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Amt Elbingerode was a historical administrative area of ​​the Principality of Calenberg , later of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover .

history

The district goes back to the possession of the Gandersheim monastery . Elbingerode was owned by Guelphs since 1422. In 1427, Duke Erich von Braunschweig enfeoffed Count Botho zu Stolberg with Elbingerode along with the associated huts and forests, fishing and the ban on wild animals. As early as 1438, Count Botho used Elbingerode as a pledge against the Counts of Schwarzburg. For more than 100 years the pledge could not be redeemed by the increasingly indebted Count zu Stolberg. The Brunswick feudal lord took Elbingerode in 1564 for an advanced capital and in 1635 refused to enfeoff the Count of Stolberg again with Elbingerode. The office went to Hanover in 1705. After the Franco-Westphalian interlude, when Elbingerode was the seat of a canton , it was restored in 1815 and became part of the Kingdom of Hanover. The higher administrative level was initially the Landdrostei Hildesheim , and from 1842 the Clausthal Mining Authority . After the change to the Kingdom of Prussia , the offices of Elbingerode, Hohnstein and Zellerfeld formed the (tax) district of Zellerfeld from 1867. In the course of the introduction of the district constitution in 1885, the office was opened in the Ilfeld district . In 1867 Count Otto zu Stolberg-Wernigerode renewed his claims and received the top wood from Drei Annen Hohne as compensation from Prussia in 1868 . In 1932 the area around Elbingerode was incorporated into the Wernigerode district.
