In 1820 the office consisted of 31 parish districts, including a town, 2 spots, 32 villages and 61 farms and mills. 2,308 families or 9,119 residents lived in the office. Of these, 8,041 were Protestant, 903 Catholic, 4 Mennonites and 117 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. 10 district offices were established for administration , the offices continued as judicial offices (i.e. courts of first instance). The administrative tasks of the Naststätten office were carried out by the Langen-Schwalbach district office , the jurisdiction of the Naststätten justice office. However, the reform was reversed on October 1, 1854, the districts abolished and the previous offices restored.

Prussia

After the Prussian annexation of the duchy when the new province of Hesse-Nassau was divided into districts on February 22, 1867, the office of Nastätten became part of the Unterlahnkreis in the Wiesbaden district .

Only as part of this reorganization will administration and jurisdiction be separated. 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 Runkel 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. When the new district order of the Hesse-Nassau province came into force on April 1, 1886, the western part of the office around Nastätten was assigned to the newly created Sankt Goarshausen district , while the eastern part around Katzenelnbogen remained with the reduced Unterlahnkreis.

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