Office Gronau (Leine)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gronau office was a historical administrative district in the Principality of Hildesheim , later the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover . The seat of the bailiff was the city of Gronau (Leine) .

history

The castle and town of Gronau were laid out around 1290 and formed an administrative unit with the village of Eberholzen. After the Hildesheim collegiate feud, they fell to Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel in 1523 . In 1643 they were returned to the Hildesheim Monastery. In 1690, the Lower Börde of the Winzenburg Office was administratively (but not under constitutional law) placed under the Gronau Office. Under Prussian rule (from 1802) the office was revoked, but after the transition to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1815 it was restituted and in 1815 the former monastery estate Haus Escherde was added. In 1824 the Poppenburg office was added (without the city of Elze ), in 1852 the Poppenburg part was separated again and an Elze office (with the city of Elze) was formed from it. The patrimonial court Banteln with the community Eddinghausen was attached to the remaining area . In 1859 the separation from 1852 was revised. In the course of the regional reform of 1885, the office was opened in the Gronau district .

Communities

The office of Gronau consisted of two separate territories until 1690. The slightly larger part of the office was northeast of Alfeld in the middle of the Winzenburg office around Westfeld . The slightly smaller part of the office was northwest of it, separated by a wide strip of the Winzenburg office, with its western border bordering the Principality of Calenberg . In 1690 there was an exchange of territory with the Winzenburg office, so that the Gronau office now formed a territorial unit. The following table lists all municipalities that belonged to the Gronau office from 1690 to 1807. This includes a city , a number of villages and hamlets , a monastery , but possibly also single houses and similar properties, if they are mentioned in the underlying directory. Column 2 shows the number of all households in 1760, namely vacant houses, full courtyards, Halbspännerhöfe, Viertelspännerhöfe, Großköthnerhöfe, Kleinköthnerhöfe and Brinksitzer combined (each listed individually in the original). Column 3 shows the number of inhabitants in 1910, and column 4 shows the current municipality. Further comments can be found in the last column.
