Wedding house in Fritzlar, seat of the district administration

The Fritzlar district was a district from 1848 to 1851 , i.e. part of the middle administrative level in the Electorate of Hesse with its seat in Fritzlar .

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 were established . Various districts were formed from the previous province of Niederhessen , including the Fritzlar district. This change was a consequence of the March Revolution .

The new administrative structure was dissolved again after a short time after the reaction had 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.

The district was made up of the administrative offices Fritzlar , Homberg and Ziegenhain . These administrative offices corresponded to the previous circles of the same name. The Fritzlar district thus included the judicial districts of the following courts:

The Naumburg Justice Office was transferred from the Wolfhagen district to the Fritzlar district as part of the administrative reform . This change was also reversed in 1851.
