history

The Vogtei Werther, consisting of the parishes Werther and Dornberg , was co-administered by the Vogt in Schildesche from the end of the 18th century .

During the Napoleonic period in 1807, the bailiwick of Werther became the canton of Werther in the Bielefeld district of the Kingdom of Westphalia . In 1811 the northwestern part of the canton of Werther, essentially the area of ​​the parish of Werther, was annexed by France . In this area, the Mairie (mayor's office) Werther was established in accordance with the usual French administrative structure .

After Napoleon's defeat , the entire Ravensberger Land fell back to Prussia and became part of the Minden administrative district of the Westphalia province, founded in 1815 . When the province was divided into districts in 1816, the mayor's office Werther was assigned to the district of Halle (Westphalia) .

With the introduction of the Westphalian State Municipal Code finally Werther was 25 September 1843 from the mayor's office Werther made to the city of Werther and the municipalities Haeger, Isingdorf, Rotenhagen, Rotingdorf, Schröttinghausen and Theenhausen belonged.
