Office of Bauna
The Bauna Office (from 1804: Wilhelmshöhe 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 the early Middle Ages, the area of the Baunatal was part of the County of Maden , the court of Zwehren for Cent Ditmold of the Counts of Schaumburg . The Zwehren court originally consisted of Nieder and Oberzwehren and Nordshausen . In the 12th century, Schaumburg also managed to gain possession of the Baunatal. This created a closed domain as the core of the later office. With the extinction of the Schaumburg branch, the area fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse and the Bauna office was established as part of the territorialization in the 14th century. It was also mentioned in documents as the court of the Zwehrentor , court on the Bauna or Zwehrengericht .
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 Bauna office was renamed the Wilhelmshöhe office (after Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe ). 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 Wilhelmshöhe Office was rebuilt. It now consisted of Wilhelmshöhe, Altenbauna , Altenritte , Breitenbach , Elgershausen , Elmshagen , Gut Freienhagen , Großenhof , Grossenritte , Guntershausen , Hertingshausen , Hoof , Kirchbauna , Kirchditmold , Knallhütte , Neuermühle , Niederzwehren , Nordshausen , Oberzwehren , Rengershausen , Rothenditmold , Wahlershausen , Wehlheiden and the Bailiwick of Hasungen .
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 Bauna office, which had 9,439 inhabitants when it was dissolved (excluding the Hasungen bailiwick), was abolished.
