Wennigsen office
The Wennigsen office was an office in the Calenberger Land that existed from 1817 to 1885. Initially the office belonged to the Kingdom of Hanover and later to the Prussian Province of Hanover . It arose after the dissolution of the Wennigsen monastery office from the division of the Calenberg office during the restoration period by a Royal Hanover Ordinance of October 28, 1817. The office was opened in 1885 in the Linden district , which existed until 1932. Then the area became part of the district of Hanover , today Region Hanover .
Official territory
For the year 1834 an area of 1263 Hufen and population of 12,464 people is occupied.
When it was dissolved in 1885, the office comprised the following municipalities:
District Court
When the office was founded, Wennigsen received its own court for civil matters and voluntary jurisdiction; criminal matters continued to be heard in Calenberg for the time being. With the Hanoverian Courts Constitution Act of November 8, 1850, which came into force on October 1, 1852, the Wennigsen District Court was established. This still exists today.
Bailiff
- 1817–1825: Johann Christoph Havemann
- 1825–1857: Georg Wilhelm Ludewig Hagemann, from 1841 senior bailiff
- 1857–1858: Georg August Werner von Meding, Official Assessor (on request)
- 1858–1883: Heinrich Bening, bailiff, Privy Councilor
An inner-town square in Wennigsen is named after the bailiff Hagemann. It played a role in the history of the city of Hanover after the city's magistrate rejected King Ernst August's constitutional amendment . The Hanoverian monarch wanted to appoint him interim in July 1839 as administrator of the city. However, due to violent protests by the citizens, the king gave in at the last minute and thus prevented an uprising.
