District Rinteln (Department of the Leine)

The Rinteln district in the Leine department and its location in the Kingdom of Westphalia

The Rinteln district was an administrative unit in the Leine department in the Kingdom of Westphalia . It was formed by the Royal Organizational Decree of September 1, 1810.

territory

The Rinteln district had existed in the Weser Department until 1810. From this came the southernmost cantons of Rinteln and Oldendorf to the new district of Rinteln. To the east it was through the Hamelnsche Quart (Amt Springe , Lauenstein , Ohsen , Grohnde , Polle , Erzen ), the city of Hameln, many places in the Lauauau Quarts, the county of Spiegelberg and parts of the Principality of Calenberg, which lay between the districts of Einbeck, Göttingen and Hildesheim. In 1811 the cantons Hausberge and Windheim were added, which had been in the French district of Minden since 1811. On November 21, 1812, the canton of Oberkirchen from the Allerdepartement was added. The district was bounded by the new department of the Aller in the north, the Oker department in the east, the districts of Göttingen and Höxter in the south, the principality of Lippe in the south and the department of Oberems in the north-west.

From January 1, 1811, the district was again called Rinteln.

organization

The district was headed by a sub-prefect . The sub-prefect of the district was the former Prussian district administrator of the Brakern district Moritz Maria Elmerhaus Freiherr von Haxthausen on Gut Abbenburg with the secretary Schwarzenberger. The seat of his sub-prefecture was in Rinteln .

The district council of Rinteln in the Leinedepartement was no longer recorded in the state calendars after 1811.

Courts of peace were in Rinteln, Oldendorf, Aerzen, Hameln, Bodenwerder, Börry, Hausberge, Hemmendorf, Münder and from 1812 in Obernkirchen.
