Office Soltau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Amt Soltau was a historical administrative area of ​​the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover .

history

The office goes back to the former District Bailiwick of Soltau , which consisted of the parish Soltau with 16 farmers and the office town of Soltau . The parish corresponded to a Gogerichtssprengel. In 1378 the Celler Vogt held court there. The first (official) bailiff appears around 1528. The magistrates gradually took over the duties and powers of the Grand Bailiff in Celle . In 1756 the district bailiwick was combined with that in Fallingbostel and the Soltau district building was sold.

In 1852, the districts Fallingbostel and Soltau were separated again and the new district of Soltau was formed from the previous Soltau district with parts of the former districts of Bergen and Hermannsburg and the offices of Ebstorf and Winsen (Luhe) . In 1859 it was enlarged to include the Schneverdingen office, which only existed for a short time .

From 1867 the Soltau office formed the Fallingbostel (tax) district with the offices of Ahlden, Bergen and Fallingbostel. In 1869 the administrative area comprised 16,257 inhabitants in 61 municipalities. In 1885 it was incorporated into the district constitution. One community fell to the Rotenburg district.
