Office Werl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Werl office was an administrative district that dates back to the early 14th century. In 1802 it fell to the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt with the Duchy of Westphalia , to which it belonged . In 1816 it passed to Prussia and existed with minor changes until 1969.

Borders and roads

Surrounded by the Grafschaft Mark on three sides in the west, north and east , the Amt Werl was the border area of ​​the Duchy of Westphalia until 1816. In the northeast, the court bordered Bergstrasse . In the southeast was the Körbecke court , in the south the Neheim office and the Vosswinkel court . In the southwest there was a short border with the Menden (Sauerland) office .

Coming into office in the west near Büderich , the Hellweg led from Unna to Werl, in order to leave the office east of Westönnen in the direction of Soest . Another road led from Werl via Hilbeck to Hamm . A road going southwest connected Werl with Menden . In the other direction it led over Bergstrasse to Soest.

history

The nucleus of the later Werl office was the Gogericht Werl, whose origin dates back to at least the 11th century and originally belonged to the Counts of Werl . After the counts moved to Arnsberg around 1100 Count Liupold von Werl bequeathed his claims to the Archbishop of Cologne Friedrich I. Around 1300 the parishes of Werl, Bremen, Büderich, Scheidingen and Westönnen belonged to the Werl Gogericht. Ostönnen was later lost to Soest and Hilbeck to the Grafschaft Mark.

After 1519 the newly built electoral palace became the official residence of Drosten.

In 1795 the Werl office had 31 villages with a total of 597 residential buildings, excluding the city of Werl.

In 1802 the Werl office came to the Landgrave of Hessen-Darmstadt as part of the Duchy of Westphalia . On September 22nd, 1807, a law to redistribute the duchy into 18 offices came into force. The Werl office remained largely unchanged in terms of territory. However, the city was now added to the office and the villages were distributed over 13 Schultheissen districts.

This division persisted after Prussia came to power in 1816. The Werl office was now included in the newly founded Arnsberg district . As early as 1819, the communities of Wickede and Wiehagen were temporarily assigned to the Hamm district until 1826 and the other communities to the Soest district . The parish of Bremen was transferred to the office of Körbecke .

In 1843 the Werl office consisted of Budberg , Holtum , Illingen , Mawicke , Niederbergstrasse , Oberbergstrasse , Ostbüderich , Scheidingen , Schlückingen , Westbüderich , Westönnen , Wickede and Wiehagen . During the time of National Socialism , an administrative community was introduced between the city and the Werl office, which was not reversed until 1948. In 1969 the Werl office was dissolved by the “Law on the Reorganization of the Soest District and Parts of the Beckum District ” and the locations were divided between the municipality of Wickede and the city of Werl.

Official

In the springs, the incumbents are called " Dapifer ", " Amtmann " or " Drost ". As early as the 14th century it happened again and again that a Droste held several offices. Often the courts of Neheim, Bergstrasse, and sometimes the offices of Balve or Arnsberg were linked to the Werl office. The swearing-in of official deaths took place in the Werler town hall from the 15th century. From this time at the latest, administration of the documents was carried out by administrators, who were usually lawyers. For them the terms deputy, commander, officer, Vicesatrapa, Satrapae Werlensis Administrator, but also "Amtmann" appear as official designations,
