Amt Hallenberg (City of Hallenberg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hallenberg office was an administrative district that the Prussian state established in the 19th century in connection with communal reforms. The office emerged from the office of Liesen in 1867 through the accession of the titular town Hallenberg and existed under the new name until 1975. In that year it was largely transferred to the enlarged town of Hallenberg.

history

After the city of Hallenberg left the mayor's office in Hallenberg in 1838, the Liesen office was formed from the four remaining municipalities in 1841 , named after one of the municipalities represented there. In 1867 the city of Hallenberg was downgraded to a rural community and attached to the Liesen office, which has been called Hallenberg since then .

Since then, the office has included the communities of Braunshausen , Hallenberg, Hesborn , Liesen and Züschen . It belonged to the Brilon County .

In 1864 it had 3446 inhabitants. By 1939 that number had risen to 4,306. As a result of the flow of refugees after 1945, their number grew to 5973 by 1950. Eleven years later (1961) the number of inhabitants had fallen again to 5853. Five years later, in 1966, the Hallenberg office had a population of 6299 on an area of ​​88.06 km². In 1961, 2930 people worked here, of which 36.5% in agriculture and forestry, 41.5% in manufacturing the rest was employed in other professions. In 1961, 5,150 claimed to be Catholics and 690 to be Protestant Christians.

The office existed until 1975 and did not have its own coat of arms. In that year the office was dissolved and its communities transferred to the enlarged city of Hallenberg. Only Züschen came to Winterberg .
