history

Orange

In 1787 the office consisted of Ahlbach , Dehrn , Faulbach , Hadamar , Hangenmeilingen , Heuchelheim , Malmeneich (partly), Niederhadamar , Niedertiefenbach , Niederweyer , Niederzeuzheim , Oberweyer , Oberzeuzheim , Offheim , Steinbach , Thalheim (1607 without Heuchelheim).

In 1806 the office fell to the Grand Duchy of Berg . In the Grand Duchy of Berg, the offices were dissolved and cantons were established instead. The canton of Hadamar was established in Hadamar . Soon after the Battle of Leipzig , the Grand Duchy dissolved and Nassau-Orange got its territories back. After it was returned to Nassau-Orange in 1813, the previous Orange offices, including the Hadamar office, were re-established in their old form.

Duchy of Nassau

On May 31, 1815, Orange ceded the hereditary lands to Prussia . Prussia in turn swapped territories with the Duchy of Nassau, so that the Hadamar office now became part of the Duchy. With the office reform on July 1, 1816, the office of Hadamar remained, but was expanded extensively. Until 1866 it consisted of Ahlbach, Dorchheim , Dorndorf , Ellar , Elz , Faulbach, Frickhofen , Fussingen , Hadamar, Hangenmeilingen, Hausen , Heuchelheim, Hintermeilingen , Lahr , Langendernbach , Malmeneich, Mühlbach , Niederhadamar, Niedertiefenbach, Niederweyer, Niederzeuzheim, Oberweyer, Oberweyer , Offheim, Steinbach, Thalheim, Waldernbach , Waldmannshausen and Wilsenroth .

In 1820 the office counted 28 community districts, including 1 town, 28 villages, 47 farms and mills. 3,138 families and 13,302 residents lived in the district. Of these, 252 were Protestant, 12,888 Catholic, 5 Mennonites and 154 Jews.

After the March Revolution in 1848, the administration was reorganized. By law of April 4, 1849, administration and jurisdiction were separated at a lower level in Nassau. The reform came into effect on July 1, 1849. Ten district offices were established for the administration , the offices continued as judicial offices (i.e. courts of first instance). The administrative tasks of the Hadamar Office were carried out by the Hadamar District Office , the jurisdiction of the Hadamar Judicial Office. However, the reform was reversed on October 1, 1854, the districts abolished and the previous offices restored.

Prussia

With the annexation of Nassau by Prussia , the offices in their old form were also dissolved and replaced by circles. The Hadamar office together with the Runkel and Weilburg formed the Oberlahnkreis in 1867 . Only as part of this reorganization will administration and jurisdiction be separated. For the jurisdiction in the first instance, which was previously carried out by the office, the judicial officials in the offices were initially responsible and the Hadamar District Court was formed on September 1, 1867 .

But even after the founding of the district, the previous office structure will be retained. The Royal Ordinance of February 22, 1867 regulated: "The administrative districts as narrower administrative districts exist in their previous limits" The former offices form the three districts of the district. According to § 13 of the district constitution, the districts sent the former offices six representatives to the new district council . The bailiff was in charge of the local police and the district administrator.

With the administrative reform of 1885/1886 the offices were finally dissolved.
