Haderslev Office. The areas of the six municipalities that were created by the municipal reform in 1970 and then belonged to the Sønderjyllands Amt are marked with different shades of green .

Haderslev Amt (named after the city of Haderslev ) was one of the offices in Denmark at that time until the Danish municipal reform on April 1, 1970 .

Haderslev Amt consisted of five Harden ( Danish : Herred ):

Until 1864 the Harde Nørre Tyrstrup Herred also belonged to the Haderslev Office, but was then added to the Vejle Office in the course of the land exchange with regard to the royal enclaves , when the Duchy of Schleswig fell to Prussia (and with it the Haderslev Office as the later district of Hadersleben ). In 1920, Harde Hviding Herred , which had previously belonged to the Haderslev Office, was added to the Tønder Office in the course of the reorganization after the partition of Schleswig .

With the municipal reform in 1970 Haderslev Amt went on in the new Sønderjyllands Amt . The following municipalities in Sønderjyllands Amt were formed from the parishes of the office:

history

While the old Syssel lost its importance, the feudal districts around the sovereign castles Haderslevhuus and Törning became more and more important. The Hadersleben feudal district initially only included the two eastern Harden , the Tyrstrup and Haderslebenerharde, while the western Hviding, Norderrangstrup, Frös / Kalslund and Gramm-Harden belonged to Törning. Törning was pledged repeatedly to aristocrats in the 15th century and was only redeemed by King John I in 1494 . Soon afterwards, Törning, which, in contrast to most of the royal and ducal castles , was not in the vicinity of a wealthy town, but lonely in the parish of Hammeleff , lost its importance and fell into disrepair. This made the entire Törninglehn part of the Hadersleben office. Since in the period up to 1617 almost all aristocratic goods were bought up by the sovereign, from then on there were very few enclaves in the office. Apart from the city of Hadersleben and the large Grammer manor complex, these were only a few grit in the west that belonged to the Ripen office and thus to the kingdom. On the other hand, until 1850, some of the former Törning grit, which was surrounded by the Aabenraa, and the possessions of the old Bollersleben estate belonged to the office.

When the country was divided in 1544, the Hadersleben office came to Duke Johann the Elder . He rebuilt Haderslevhuus Castle as Hansburg Castle. After his death in 1581 the office became royal. The seizure of the Gottorfischen possessions made the Duchy of Schleswig back into a largely unified political territory in 1713. Soon afterwards, the Hadersleben office, the largest in the country, was divided into two administrative districts, with the Grammharde largely being placed in the Easter section.

The emerging German-Danish national conflict initially affected Hadersleben less than other parts of the country in the 1840s , but there were also national rallies here, the most famous of which was that of 1843 on the Skamlingsbanken , Jutland's highest mountain. The Schleswig-Holstein survey had less of an impact here than in other parts of Schleswig; during this time Christian August Thomas Bruhn was bailiff and was removed from office by the Danes in 1851. In 1858, the office was the first in Schleswig to have a semi-democratically legitimized councilor. The first rural hospital in the duchy was established in Gramm in 1860.

The war of 1864 had far-reaching consequences . Schleswig was occupied and annexed by Prussia and Austria . The border between Schleswig and Jutland thus became a state border. As a replacement for the Danish enclaves around Mögeltondern and Westerland- Föhr , some municipalities were ceded from the Hadersleben office to Denmark. In the west, the border was straightened, in the northeast eight parishes ( Sønder Stenderup , Sønder Bjert , Ødis , Dalby , Vonsild , Vejstrup , Hejls and Taps ) came to the Vejle office . In 1867 the office was converted into a Prussian district, the Hardes courts and the Hadersleben city court were replaced by local courts and the Harden police districts were combined to form larger Hardes vogteies. In 1869 the rural community code came into force.

As the northernmost border district in the west of what was then the German Empire, the Hadersleben district was in an uncomfortable peripheral location, as traffic with the northern hinterland across the border was difficult. In return, Kolding and the newly founded Esbjerg in southern Denmark benefited from the elimination of competition from the cities of Schleswig. The industry in Hadersleben was expanded, and the district town was also important as a garrison town and a popular retirement home. But on the whole the district remained agrarian and had little development opportunities. Christiansfeld in particular , which was only five kilometers from the border, stagnated. The infrastructure was expanded primarily by a dense network of small railways owned by the district ( Haderslebener Kreisbahn ). However, these were often developed very winding and only had a connection to the main railways in Scherrebek and Woyens - and in Hadersleben via the branch line to Woyens. A connection to the neighboring Apenrader Kreisbahn existed with the Branderup – Osterterp railway line only during the First World War between 1916 and 1919.

After the majority of the population in North Schleswig had voted for Denmark in the referendum on February 10, 1920, the district was ceded to Denmark on June 15 . Here it was converted into a Danish office, but had to cede the western parishes - the old Hvidingharde - to the office of Tondern , which had been divided in the middle by the demarcation. The Hadersleben office existed until 1970, when it was combined with the three neighboring offices in Northern Schleswig to form Sønderjyllands Amt .

Economically and in terms of infrastructure, the area has now been connected to the north. The main roads have been greatly expanded, and electrification has also been accelerated. However, the relocation of the main line from Woyens- Rothenkrug to Hadersleben- Aabenraa did not get beyond the planning stage. The district orbits were taken over by the office, but discontinued in the years 1937-39.

The new municipality of Hadersleben from 2007 onwards will have the same east-west expansion as the previous office, but only encompasses around two thirds of the same.
