Osterode Office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Osterode office was a historical administrative area of ​​the Principality of Grubenhagen , later of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover . The seat of the office was the city of Osterode am Harz .

history

Around 1151, Osterode Castle was attested to as a medieval court, which came back when the castle was abandoned at the beginning of the 16th century. It was not until around 1561 that an administrative district was created around the new princely castle , which was expanded to include the Eisdorf court in 1750, the village of Schwiegershausen in 1800 and the village of Dorste in 1832. In 1859 the Westerhof Office and the Katlenburg Bailiwick were incorporated from the previous Katlenburg-Lindau Office . In 1885 the area around Katlenburg (without the village of Wulften) was separated again and the rest of the Osterode office was incorporated into the district constitution.
