Zellerfeld office
The Zellerfeld office was a historical administrative area of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Prussian Province of Hanover .
history
Until after the Congress of Vienna, the administration of the Upper Harz was the responsibility of the mining authorities Clausthal and Zellerfeld or their superior mining authority . In 1818 the Zellerfeld Mining Authority was abolished and its district joined the Clausthal Mining Authority. In 1841 the judicial and administrative powers of the Mining and Forestry Office were transferred to the newly created Mining and City Courts in Clausthal and Zellerfeld, which were subordinate to the Justice Chancellery in Göttingen and the administrative authorities to the Mining Authority . In the course of the separation of justice and administration (1852), the Zellerfeld Mining and City Court was transferred to the Zellerfeld Office. The city of Zellerfeld initially remained vacant and was only incorporated into the office in 1854. In 1859 the offices of Zellerfeld, St. Andreasberg and the previously free city of Clausthal were merged into the Zellerfeld office. From 1885 the office and city of Zellerfeld formed the Zellerfeld district .
scope
When it was abolished (1885), the office comprised the following municipalities:
