Office Wiedelah
The office of Wiedelah was a historical administrative area of the duchy of Hildesheim with its seat in Wiedelah .
history
The office was established in the 14th century around the Wiedelah castle of the same name in Hildesheim . Due to its remote location in the far east of the prince-bishopric, it could only develop in a rudimentary way and, in addition to the eponymous castle, only comprised five villages, plus an outbuilding and a monastery. In 1760 there was only one road in the office, the rest were dirt roads from one village to another. From 1523 - the end of the Hildesheim collegiate feud - until the restitution of the prince-bishopric in 1643, the office belonged to Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . The Reformation was also introduced at this time . From 1649 to 1656 and 1685 to 1802 the administration was again with the Hildesheim Cathedral Chapter, which also received the income from the office. From 1656 to 1685 the office was leased to von Hörde as Drosten. In 1685 the cathedral chapter took over the administration again.
The office was canceled under Franco-Westphalian rule and was no longer restituted in 1815. Its localities were incorporated into the Hanover Office Vienenburg , with which they came to the Office Wöltingerode in 1831 .
