The Radolfshausen office was a historical administrative area of the Principality of Grubenhagen and the Kingdom of Hanover .

history

Around 1500 the Vorwerk Radolfshausen was expanded as a permanent house and official residence for a side line of the Lords of Plesse . While the rule of Plesse fell to the Landgraves of Hesse with the extinction of the family , Radolfshausen came into Guelph ownership in 1595 and since then has formed an office of the principality of Grubenhagen with its accessories . The office building, later the forester's house in Radolfshausen, was located in Ebergötzen. It was erected in 1711 as a half-timbered building from the Baroque period. On the site of the former office building, with a residential tower from the 13th / 14th Century, remains of a medieval moated castle . Archaeological investigations unearthed a Neolithic stone ax . In the French era , the former office existed as the canton of Radolfshausen . In 1850 it was expanded to include the Waake court , in 1852 to include the municipality of Bösinghausen (previously part of the Göttingen office ) and the former Neuengleichen office with the villages of Benniehausen , Etzenborn , Mackenrode and Sattenhausen (from the Reinhausen office ). Benniehausen and Wittmarshof came back to Reinhausen in the same year, Etzenborn to the Duderstadt office . In 1859 the office was abolished and its district attached to the enlarged office of Göttingen.

The Radolfshausen community has been commemorating the former office since 1973 . Until 1997 there was also a State Forestry Office in Radolfshausen, which had continued the tradition of the office. A church of that name does not exist. In 1998 the Friends of the Altes Amt Radolfshausen were founded. Its aim is to support the maintenance of the structures on the area of ​​the former state forestry office. The building and the area now house the European Bread Museum .
