Eschwege district
The Eschwege district was a district between 1848 and 1851 , i.e. part of the middle administrative level in the Electorate of Hesse with its seat in Eschwege .
history
With the "law concerning the formation of new administrative districts and the introduction of district councils" of October 31, 1848 and the corresponding ordinance of December 22, 1848, which came into effect on February 1, 1849, the previous four provinces were dissolved and nine districts established . Various districts were formed from the previous province of Niederhessen , including the district of Eschwege. This change was a consequence of the March Revolution .
The new administrative structure was dissolved shortly after the reaction prevailed. With the ordinance and the “provisional” “law relating to the reshuffle of the internal state administration and the executive power of the administrative authorities and the district councils” of July 7, 1851, the old order was restored.
