history
In 1807 the Olpe office was created for the first time through the merger of the Olpe, Drolshagen and Wenden courts. Their area had previously formed the Waldenburg Office . The first bailiff was Johann Josef von Stockhausen. In 1815 Josef Zeppenfeld can be proven as a bailiff. In 1816 the office was transferred to Prussia together with the Duchy of Westphalia . Just one year later, the office was opened in the newly founded Bilstein district , which was renamed the Olpe district two years later .
In 1843/44 the city of Olpe, the rural communities of the parish of the same name and the parishes of Kleusheim and Rhode were merged to form the new Amt Olpe. In 1858, the city left the municipal association with the adoption of the new city regulations. At the same time, the municipality of Olpe-Land was newly formed within the office.
In 1961 it had a size of 62.66 square kilometers 5540 inhabitants.
In 1969, the Olpe district belonging to the Olpe district was dissolved and has since formed the enlarged town of Olpe.
