The district of Rinteln was from 1807 to 1810 an administrative district of the department of the Weser in the Kingdom of Westphalia . It was dissolved in 1810 and its cantons were assigned to various other departments. In 1811, a new district of Rinteln in the department of the Leine was created with a modified area layout .
territory
The district of Rinteln in the department of the Weser was essentially formed from the Hessian possessions Grafschaft Schaumburg , Uchte and Freudenberg as well as the Brunswick exclave Thedinghausen . The core area was completely enclosed in the north by the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , in particular by the Principality of Calenberg and the Bückeburg parts of Schaumburg . The three cantons of Uchte, Freudenberg and Thedinghausen were exclaves of the district, the greatest distance of which from the main town was over 80 km. In the southeast, Rinteln bordered the Hanover city of Hameln and in the south on the Principality of Lippe , which in turn formed the largest enclave of the Kingdom of Westphalia. The southern end of the Rinteln district lay from Fischbeck in the east to Rinteln in the west on the Weser . In 1808, the district was initially divided into nine, then eight cantons with a total of 36,252 inhabitants.
organization
The district was headed by a sub-prefect . Baron Moritz Elmerhaus Maria von Haxthausen on the Abbenburg was sub-prefect with the secretary Krüger. The seat of the sub-prefecture was in Rinteln .
President of the district council for the establishment and control of the tax lists was the Rinteln judicial councilor Georg Ludwig Christian Heuser .
Courts of the peace were in Rinteln, Bassum, Obernkirchen, Oldendorf, Rodenberg, Sachsenhagen, Thedinghausen and Uchte.
Cantonal division from 1807
The dissolution of the Rinteln district in 1810
On March 1, 1810, the area of the Electorate of Hanover fell to the Kingdom of Westphalia. In the Hanoverian areas, the three new departments of the Aller, the Elbe and Weser estuaries and the Lower Elbe were formed by decree on September 1, 1810. With this decree, the Rinteln district was declared dissolved and its eight cantons were distributed as follows:
- Department of the Leine : The cantons of Rinteln and Oldendorf, together with six new cantons from the Hamelin area, formed a new district of Hameln , and since 1811 the new district of Rinteln
- Department of the Aller : The cantons of Sachsenhagen, Rodenberg, Freudenberg and Obernkirchen were incorporated into the new Hanover district. By the decree of November 20, 1812, the canton of Oberkirchen (in addition to the Minden cantons Hausberge and Windheim) was again separated from the Aller department and united with the Rinteln district in the Leinedepartement.
- Department of the Oberems : The canton Uchte came into this department through its incorporation into the Minden district.
- Northern department or from 1811 the department of the mouths of the Weser : The canton Thedinghausen came to the north department and was incorporated into the Bremen district in 1811 .
Further development
After the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia , most of the historical ownership was restored. The county of Schaumburg became Hessian again and Thedinghausen came to the Duchy of Braunschweig . Uchte and Bassum came to the Kingdom of Hanover .
