The administrative district of Hanover was an administrative district of the state of Lower Saxony . From 1946 to 2004 it was one of eight regional administrative units (six government and two administrative districts) into which Lower Saxony was divided.
history
The history of the administrative district of Hanover goes back to the year 1885, when the former Kingdom of Hanover , which became Prussian in 1866 , was divided into administrative districts as the Prussian Province of Hanover . The model was the government districts established in other Prussian provinces in 1815/16. The administrative district of Hanover was formed from the Landdrostei Hanover , which had existed since 1823 .
On February 1, 1978, the district of Hanover was expanded as part of a district reform (with the reduction to four administrative districts) to include the districts of Hildesheim and Holzminden from the repealed Hildesheim district . The authority of the administrative district of Hanover was the regional central authority of the district government of Hanover . It was repealed as part of a further reform called administrative modernization. On December 31, 2004, the Hanover administrative district - like the other three administrative districts of Lower Saxony - was dissolved. Since then, the former service building has served as an authority building, where today (2012) a. a. the Lower Saxony State Criminal Police Office , the Lower Saxony State School Authority and other state authorities have their headquarters. In place of the government agency established in 2005, regional representatives for the area of the former administrative district of Hanover were appointed in 2014 within the boundaries from 1978 to 2004. This institution is based in Hildesheim. The area of responsibility is now called Leine-Weser .
