The varied division of the department

The department of the Aller , also called Allerdepartement , French Département de l´Aller , was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia from 1810 to 1813/14 .

history

By decree of Emperor Napoleon I of January 14, 1810, the Electorate of Hanover was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia. On March 1st of that year, the agreement signed in Paris came into force. Only about 15,000 residents in Lauenburg were excluded, an area that the Kaiser reserved at his own discretion. The Principality of Calenberg , the Duchy of Lüneburg , the Duchies of Bremen and Verden , the Counties of Hoya and Diepholz , the Land of Hadeln , the Dominion Spiegelberg and the Principality of Lauenburg with a total of 218,615 inhabitants were integrated. The kingdom thus comprised around 2.6 million subjects, making it the second largest country in the Confederation of Rhine .

Simultaneously with the dissolution of the department of the Weser on September 1, 1810, the official activities of the government commission of Hanover ceased. On this day the new territorial division in the department of the Aller, in the department of the Nieder-Elbe and in the department of the Elbe and Weser estuaries came into force. The departments of the Lower Elbe and the Elbe and Weser estuaries were dissolved again on December 31, 1810.

From September 1, 1810, the new department of the Aller , a stretch of land between the Weser, Aller and Leine until the merging of the two rivers Aller and Leine, was created. It consisted of the largest part of the Principality of Calenberg , the southern part of the Duchy of Lüneburg , the Cellisches Quartier (excluding the wood area, between the rivers Oker and Leine, which now belonged to the Braunschweig district, department of the Oker ), and another part of the counties of Hoya and Diepholz with the exclusion of the Hoyaschen offices that have come to the department of the Elbe and Weser estuaries . In addition, there were four cantons of the old Westphalian district of Rinteln from the department of the Weser and the four cantons of Sachsenhagen, Obernkirchen, Freudenberg and Rodenberg from the scattered Hesse-Lauenburg offices. Rinteln became a third district of the department of the Leine with the Hameln area . From the Oker department, three cantons came from the Hildesheim district, Elze (the part on the left bank of the Leine), Sarstedt and Algermissen, to the Aller department, which had a total of 249,158 inhabitants. Hanover was chosen as the capital.

With the formation of the three Hanseatic departments with effect from January 1, 1811, the Allerdepartement lost the Nienburg district and the Hoya and Diepholz counties. They came to the newly formed French department of the Weser estuary . The places to the right of the Weser, Neustadt am Rübenberge and Rehburg , were added to the Hanover district, while the Uelzen district was added.

State 1811

In the north of the department the Hanseatic departments annexed by Napoleon on January 1, 1811 , the department of the Elbe and Weser estuaries formed the border, in the east the department of the Elbe and in the south the departments of the Oker and the Leine , while in the west the linen department and the French department of the Lippe bordered.

The department of the Aller covered about 8,400 square kilometers. The population was given as of December 31, 1810 with 432,710. The people lived in 18 cities, 12 market towns, 779 villages, 428 hamlets and 227 individual buildings with a total of 30,596 fireplaces. The 57,274 city dwellers were compared to 185,166 rural dwellers. The department consisted of 3 districts, 40 cantons, 475 communes, 21 canton mairies and 41 peace courts. The court of appeal was in Celle, the capital was Hanover.

  • The district of Hanover had 61,267 inhabitants and covered 2231.25 square kilometers in twelve cities, three market towns, three suburbs, 265 villages, 56 hamlets, 56 individual buildings with a total of 15,520 fire pits (twelve cantons with 185 municipalities), the district capital was Hanover.
  • The district of Celle had 63,606 inhabitants and covered 2730 square kilometers in three cities, two market towns, three suburbs, 199 villages, 113 hamlets, 74 individual buildings with a total of 7996 fire pits (twelve cantons with 134 municipalities), the district capital was Celle.

prefecture

The Aller department had its seat in the former Georgianum on Calenbergerstrasse in Hanover, which was closed in 1810 for the purpose of this institution. The first prefect of the Allerdepartment was from September 1810 to Baron Georg Viktor Friedrich Ludwig von Schele, a brother of Georg von Schele , who held a Westphalian legation post in Munich. Friedrich Ludwig von Schele had previously been sub-prefect in Halle and after the offer in Hanover simply left his post with the local secretary Stelzer. Schele was relieved of his appointment in March of the following year and had to leave Westphalen because he had secretly crossed the border to Berlin to prepare for his wedding and was under surveillance by the secret police. The prefect of the Leinedepartement was appointed to the release, which was probably caused by the secret police. August Wilhelm Frantz headed the department and the sub-prefecture of Hanover from April 1811, supported by the new general secretary Heise. The Prefecture Council included Messrs. Ramberg, Witte and Manstädt.
