The Dillkreis was a district in western Hesse . With a brief interruption in the 1930s, it existed from 1867 to 1976. Its district town was Dillenburg .
geography
At the end of 1976 the Dillkreis bordered clockwise in the northwest, beginning with the Siegen-Wittgenstein district in North Rhine-Westphalia , the Hessian districts of Marburg-Biedenkopf , Wetzlar and Limburg-Weilburg, and the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate . The former district area is now part of the Lahn-Dill district .
history
The northern district of today's Lahn-Dill district has belonged to the Principality of Nassau or Nassau-Orange since the Middle Ages , which was called the Duchy of Nassau from 1815 . This formed the two offices of Herborn and Dillenburg . After the annexation of the Duchy of Nassau by Prussia , on February 22, 1867, both offices were combined to form the Dill District. The town of Dillenburg became the district seat.
On October 1, 1932, the Dill district was merged with the main part of the Biedenkopf district to form a new district of Dillenburg . After protests by the population of both districts, these were restored on October 1, 1933. The dill circle was restored in its original form. On April 1, 1937, Mountain Ebersbach and Strasbourg Ebersbach to the municipality Ewersbach together and in 1941 was Haiern to Beilstein incorporated. Since then, the Dill district has comprised 70 communities, including the three cities of Dillenburg, Haiger and Herborn .
After the Second World War , the Dill district came to the state of Hesse. The Hessian regional reform began in the Dill district with the first municipal mergers in 1970. In 1972 and 1974 the Dill district was enlarged twice:
- On April 1, 1972, the municipality of Bellersdorf in the Wetzlar district was incorporated into Mittenaar in the Dill district.
- On July 1, 1974, the communities were Roth and Simmersbach from the dissolved district Biedenkopf by Eschenburg incorporated in Dillkreis.
The area of the district increased as a result from the original 514.4 km² to 530.7 km². The number of municipalities in the district decreased to 42 by the end of 1976.
On January 1, 1977, the Dill district was combined with the parts of the Wetzlar and Gießen districts that did not belong to the new city of Lahn to form the new Lahn-Dill district . The seat of the district administration was the city of Lahn, which was created through the merger of the independent city of Gießen with the city of Wetzlar and 14 surrounding communities. At the same time, on January 1, 1977, further associations of municipalities took place. In the end, eleven communities from the Dill district joined the new Lahn-Dill district.
Because of violent protests, mainly from the Wetzlar population, the territorial reform was partially reversed. With effect from August 1, 1979, the city of Lahn was dissolved again and the rebuilt city of Wetzlar was the district town of the Lahn-Dill district, which was made smaller by the restoration of the district of Gießen (district town of Gießen ). Since then, the Lahn-Dill district has comprised 23 cities and communities.
