The office of Jever was an administrative district of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg and the later Free State of Oldenburg . The seat of the office was in Jever . The function of the Oldenburg offices largely corresponded to the function of the districts in the rest of the German Empire .

history

The rule of Jever had been under Oldenburg administration since 1814 and was finally transferred from Russia to Oldenburg in 1818 . The territory of the Jever rule was divided into the city of Jever and the offices of Jever, Minsen and Tetten. The office of Jever at that time included Cleverns , Heppens , Neuende , Sande , Sandel , Schortens , Sillenstede and the suburb of Jever, which did not belong to the actual city of Jever. The Minsen office included Minsen , Oldorf , Pakens , Waddewarden , Wiarden and Wüppels, and the Tettens office included Tettens , Hohenkirchen , Middoge , St. Joost and Wiefels .

In 1844 the previously independent suburb of Jever was incorporated into the city of Jever and left the office of Jever. In 1853 the Jade region was removed from the Jever office and ceded to Prussia . The city of Wilhelmshaven was established in the Jade region . As part of an administrative reform, the municipalities of the dissolved offices of Minsen and Tetten joined the office of Jever in 1858, as did the municipalities of the former rule of Kniphausen , which had been an Oldenburg office since 1854.

After the population in the southern part of Neuende had increased significantly due to the growth of Wilhelmshaven, the new municipality of Bant was formed in 1879 from a part of Neuende . The island of Wangerooge has formed its own municipality in the Amt of Jever since 1885. In 1902, Bant, Heppens and Neuende, which had developed into urban suburbs of Wilhelmshaven, were spun off from the Jever office and merged into the Rüstringen office .

During the administrative reform of 1933, the Jever office was dissolved and merged with the Friesland office , which in 1939 became the Friesland district .
