history

The Gerolzhofen District Office was formed in 1862 through the merger of the Gerolzhofen and Wiesentheid regional courts . This was enlarged in 1872 by some communities from the disbanded Volkach district office .

On the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices, the Gerolzhofen district office ceded the Wiesenbronn community to the Kitzingen district office on January 1, 1880 .

On January 1, 1939, the designation district was introduced as everywhere else in the German Reich . This is how the district office became the district of Gerolzhofen.

Due to the district reform , the district was dissolved on July 1, 1972:

• The communities Geusfeld , Wohnau and Wustviel came to the district of Haßberge , which until May 1st, 1973 was called Haßberg-Kreis .

• The communities Obereisenheim and Untereisenheim came to the district of Würzburg .
• All other communities including the district town of Gerolzhofen came to the district of Schweinfurt .

The former district town of Gerolzhofen initially retained a number of supra-local authorities, but all of them, with the exception of a police station, were subsequently closed.
