Office Münden

The Münden Office was a historical administrative area of ​​the Principality of Göttingen , later of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover .

history

The Welfenschloss Münden had finally been in Guelph ownership from 1247 and became the center of an administrative district in the 14th century. Another administrative district was created around the Sichelnstein border castle . Both offices were administered from Münden perhaps as early as the 14th century, and certainly in the 16th century , which is why the designation Oberamt and Unteramt Münden became naturalized. In 1743 and 1786, the Münden sub-office ceded four and two villages to the Leineberg court . After the Westphalian period, the office was restored and expanded to include Ellershausen and the rights to the monastery offices of Bursfelde and Hilwartshausen . In the course of a border adjustment, the Kingdom of Hanover renounced its share in the previously jointly administered village of Nieste and the town of Wahnhausen in favor of the Electorate of Hesse . For this, Laubach came to the Münden office. In 1833 Fürstenhagen was reclassified from the Münden Office to the Uslar Office . As a result of the administrative reform of 1852, the greater part of the sub-office was combined with the city of Dransfeld and the Jühnde court to form a new Dransfeld office. The remainder of the area now formed the Münden Office with the Oberamt and the newly assigned communities of Meensen and Lippoldshausen (formerly the Brackenberg Office ). Fürstenhagen and Bursfelde finally came to the new office of Adelebsen . In 1859 this change was largely reversed. Only Fürstenhagen stayed with Uslar.

In 1885 the office was transferred to the district constitution.
