history

As part of the introduction of the rural community order for the province of Westphalia , the two offices of Höxter and Albaxen were set up in 1843 . The city of Höxter remained vacant and did not belong to the office of Höxter. The offices of Höxter and Albaxen have been administered in personal union since their establishment and have formed the combined office of Höxter-Albaxen since 1852 .

In 1930 the office of Höxter-Albaxen was renamed Höxter-Land . The administrative headquarters remained in Höxter.

Due to a field amendment agreement dated 19 December 1968, § 1 of the " Law on the reorganization of the district Hoexter " of 2 December 1969 which also confirms the area change agreement in § 8 para. 1, the communities of the Office joined with the municipality Bruchhausen the Office Beverungen and the city of Höxter merged to form the new city of Höxter on January 1, 1970. The Höxter-Land office was dissolved. The legal successor is the city of Höxter.
