history

The current interior authority was created in 1962 from the merger of the former police authority with the state office for the protection of the constitution, the state statistical office, the office for district administration (now part of the tax authority ) and other departments from other authorities.

The history of the police authority goes back to the year 1814, when after the end of the French occupation all police competencies were bundled in a single authority for the first time. This was headed by two senators as police officers who were exempt from the usual annual rotation in the Senate offices. From 1875 they were supported by a civil servant "Police Council" (later Police Director, from 1912: Police President).

After the Hamburg constitution of 1860 and the separation of the police and the judiciary, the authority had to give up some competences in criminal prosecution and civil law. But even after that, their area of ​​responsibility was broad and, until the time of the Weimar Republic, included not only the general order and protection police but also numerous administrative areas such as B. Construction and commercial police, welfare or health police, alien and servant police, port police.

During the time of National Socialism , the Hamburg police were "passed" through the law on the rebuilding of the Reich in 1934 and subordinated to the Reichsführer SS and chief of the German police .

After 1945 the police were reorganized under the supervision of the British military government . Numerous "administrative police" of the pre-war period were abolished and the authority of the authority was limited to the core area of ​​security, order and the fight against crime, which is usual today.
