history

Like neighboring Official New peers is the patrimonial Old peers on accessories of built around 1100 castles peers due to in 1270 by the Guelph to the Lords of Uslar were verlehnt. In 1318 the two lines of old and new equals appear for the first time. While Neuengleichen passed into Hessian ownership through purchase in 1451 , Altenleichen remained under Guelph fief until the 19th century under the administration of von Uslar (Uslar-Gleichen since 1825).

The judicial district included the Altenleichen castle, the aristocratic estates of Sennickerode, the upper and lower estates of Appenrode, Vogelsang, Elbickerode, Wöllmarshausen with the village, Gelliehausen with the village and the parish village of Bremke. As a mixed village , three quarters of the villages of Benniehausen , Bremke , Gelliehausen and Wöllmarshausen were subordinate to the Altenleichen court and a quarter to the Neuengleichen district. After the Neuengleichen office fell to the Kingdom of Hanover (1816/17), Bremke, Gelliehausen and Wöllmarshausen were assigned to the Altenleichen court, and Benniehausen to the Neuengleichen office. In 1823 the district comprised 155 fireplaces with 1109 inhabitants.

The patrimonial court Altenleichen was abolished in 1852 and attached to the Reinhausen office, where the Reinhausen District Court was established in 1852 .
