Kassel-Neustadt Office
The Kassel-Neustadt office (1804 to 1818 Oberkaufungen office , 1818 to 1821 Waldau office ) was an administrative and judicial district of the Landgraviate of Hesse , the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel and the Electorate of Hesse that existed from the 14th century to 1821 .
history
In 1283 Landgrave Heinrich I , who had moved the residence to Kassel in 1277 , founded the Kassel Neustadt on the right bank of the Fulda . The city was the core of the court in front of the Neustadt (but never belonged to the office, but had its own city court). In the 13th century, Hesse only had a few places to the right of the Fulda. These formed the small Kassel-Neustadt office as part of the territorialization . In 1297 Heinrich I acquired the bailiwick of the Kaufungen monastery . Many of the monastery's possessions were to the right of the Fulda and were now co-administered by the Kassel-Neustadt Office. With the abolition of the monastery in the 16th century, the abbey villages of Eschenstruth, Helsa and Wickenrode came from the Lichtenau office to the Kassel-Neustadt office. The office was divided into four, then five Schöppen chairs .
From the 16th century onwards, the offices around the capital Kassel were centralized . The two offices to the left of the Fulda (next to the office of Bauna, the office of Ahna ) and the office of Kassel-Neustadt to the right of the Fulda were administered from Kassel in personal union by the same office man or rentmaster. This personal union was only abolished from 1804 onwards. At the same time the office was renamed Office Oberkaufungen. With regard to the jurisprudence, an inter-departmental structure was created again in 1814 with the formation of a city court (for the city of Kassel) and a district court of Kassel (for the rural communities of all three offices).
After the end of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel in 1806, the area became part of the Kingdom of Westphalia . The administrative structure of the Kingdom of Westphalia took no account of historically grown structures and the administrative area was assigned to the Department of Fulda , Kassel district .
In 1813 the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel was re-established as the Electorate of Hessen. The old administrative structure was restored and the Kassel-Neustadt office was rebuilt. In 1817 part of the administrative area was spun off as the Großalmerode office from the Kassel-Neustadt office. The seat of the office was moved to Waldau and the office is now called the Waldau office. It now consisted of Waldau, Bergshausen , Bettenhausen , Crumbach , Dennhausen , Dittershausen , Dörnhagen , Eiterhagen , Heiligenrode , Niederkaufungen , Nieste , Ochshausen , Sandershausen , Vollmarshausen , Wattenbach and Wellerode .
In 1821 the separation of the administration of justice was introduced there. Administrative tasks were taken over by the district of Kassel , and court tasks by the district court of Kassel . The Waldau office, which had 7795 inhabitants at the time of the dissolution, was canceled.
