history
HRR
Nassau Castle and Office were the heartland of the noble family of the same name. Therefore, in the many partitions of the House of Nassau, the office was run as a community of several branches of the House of Nassau. In 1255 the house of Nassau was divided into the Ottonian and Walramian lines. The Ottonian half of the office remained undivided as the property of Nassau-Dillenburg, Nassau-Diez since 1607 and Nassau-Orange since 1743. The Walram line was divided and reunited several times. In 1559 Nassau-Idstein and Nassau-Weilburg each received half of the Walram half. The Nassau-Idsteiner Viertel came to Nassau-Usingen in 1721 , which in 1781 acquired the Nassau-Weilburger Viertel in exchange. With that, the triple office had become a dual one.

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. 10 district offices were established for administration , the offices continued as judicial offices (i.e. courts of first instance). The administrative tasks of the office of Nassau were performed by the Nassau district office , the jurisdiction of the Nassau 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 were also dissolved in their old form and replaced by circles. The Nassau office formed the Unterlahnkreis in 1867, together with the Diez , Limburg and Nastätten offices . Administration and jurisdiction were only separated as part of this reorganization. The judicial officials in the offices were initially responsible for the jurisdiction in the first instance, which was previously carried out by the office, and the Nassau 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 districts of the district. According to § 13 of the district constitution, the districts, i.e. the former offices, each sent 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.
