territory
The Hildesheim district comprised most of the former bishopric and, since 1802, the Prussian principality of Hildesheim , excluding the northeastern part that came to the Braunschweig district and the southeastern part that was assigned to the Goslar district. The district of Hunnesrück , which was somewhat remote to the southwest as the exclave of the former bishopric of Hildesheim , came to the district of Einbeck in the department of the Leine , together with some other places to the south and west of the bishopric and some Brunswick and Hanover towns enclosed by the Hildesheim area.
The Hildesheim district was bounded in the north by the Kingdom of Hanover and in the east by the Braunschweig district. In the south its border ran from Ölper to the Innerste bei Rhene , from there to the Werder area , along the Steimberg and Oheberg mountains to the village of Waldersen , then to the border of the Lamspringe district and to the Leine . The line formed the western border of the department with the Hanover region .
In 1807 there were 69,664 people in the district. After the territorial changes of 1810, 61,163 people lived there in 18.34 square miles .

The district council for the control of the tax lists included Messrs. Brackmann, Lauenstein, Koken, Müsse, Otto, Graf von Oberg, Osthausen, Kaptain von Rauschenplat, and von Rheden.
