geography
The office of Nieheim was in the northwest of the Höxter district. Starting in the north, the offices of Steinheim , Vörden , Brakel and Driburg (district of Höxter) and the municipality of Grevenhagen , which formed an exclave of the district of Detmold , bordered the office in a clockwise direction .
history
As part of the introduction of the rural community order for the province of Westphalia , the two offices of Nieheim and Steinheim were established in 1843 . The city of Nieheim remained vacant and did not belong to the Nieheim office. The offices of Nieheim and Steinheim have been administered in personal union since their foundation and formed the combined office of Nieheim-Steinheim since 1852 . In 1936 the office of Nieheim-Steinheim was divided back into the original offices of Nieheim and Steinheim. At the same time, the city of Nieheim lost its freedom of office and now joined the Nieheim office.
On the basis of an area change agreement of September 1, 1968 and Section 6 of the “Law for the Reorganization of the District of Höxter” of December 2, 1969, which also confirms the area change agreement in Section 8 (6), the municipalities of the office signed up on January 1, 1970 new town of Nieheim. The Nieheim office was dissolved. The legal successor is the city of Nieheim.
