District of Kassel
The district of Kassel was a district between 1848 and 1851 , i.e. part of the middle administrative level in the Electorate of Hesse with its seat in Kassel .
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 . Several districts were formed from the previous province of Niederhessen , including the district of Kassel. 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.
Territory and administration
The district was made up of the administrative offices Hofgeismar , Kassel and Wolfhagen . These administrative offices corresponded to the previous circles of the same name. The district of Marburg thus included the judicial districts of the following courts:
- Justice Office Kassel
- Court of Justice Hofgeismar
- Karlshafen Justice Office
- Grebenstein Justice Office
- Justice Office Sababurg
- Justice Office Wolfhagen
- Justice Office Volkmarsen
- Zierenberg Justice Office
The Naumburg Justice Office was transferred from the Wolfhagen district to the Fritzlar district as part of the administrative reform . The Grebenstein judicial office was transferred from the Hofgeismar district to the Wolfhagen district. This change was also reversed in 1851.
At the head of the district administration was a district director:
- 1848–1850: Eduard Wilhelm Sezekorn
- (1850) 1851: Heinrich Wachs
