history
Reign of Plesse
Core of the rule Plesse was the plesse castle , ancestral home of the noble family of Plessen . He succeeded in acquiring extensive estates, many of which were lost again in the High Middle Ages. In the 15th century, the property included Castle Plesse, the Höckelheim monastery, Eddigehausen, Reyershausen, Oberbillingshausen, Spambeck, Holzerode, Marseborn (desert), Meinershausen, Ermlingrode (desert), Wüstefeld (desert), Deppoldshausen, neck court and village of Bovenden, Angerstein , Bothleweshusen (desert), tom Studmecke (desert), Hetjershausen (1/2), Rodershausen (desert), goods and works in Sudheim, Bagkenhusen (desert), Tetelingerode (desert), Gieboldehausen, the village to Sunderhagen (desert) and Clavenhusen (desert).
The younger line of the Plesse family owned the rule until 1571. In that year Dietrich IV. Nobleman von Plesse died. With him the younger line became extinct and the rule of Plesse passed over to Landgrave Wilhelm IV of Hesse-Kassel as a defunct leaning . The area was now the rule of Plesse in the narrower sense and included the places: Bovenden, Angerstein, Eddigehausen, Deppoldshausen, Reyershausen, Oberbillingshausen, Holzerode and Spambeck. In the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel, the rule of Plesse was run as the Bovenden office. Most recently, the Bovenden Office was run jointly with the Neuengleichen Office and the former Höckelheim Abbey.
After the end of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel in 1806, the area became part of the Kingdom of Westphalia . The administrative structure of the Kingdom of Westphalia took no account of historically evolved structures and the administrative area was assigned to the Canton of Bovenden , District of Göttingen , Department of the Leine .
After the collapse of the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1813, the Electorate of Hesse took over the rule of Plesse again. However, due to an exchange agreement between Prussia, the Kingdom of Hanover and Electoral Hesse, the rule of Plesse fell to the Kingdom of Hanover on May 1, 1817.
Hanover
The office north of Göttingen on both sides of the Leine was established in 1817. It comprised the former Landgrave of Hesse in Plesse , which fell to Hanover on February 12, 1816, and the property of the secularized Höckelheim monastery . The official seat was the Hessian hunting lodge, which previously housed the Hessian administration. In 1823 the district was enlarged by seven parishes from the Harste district . In 1852 the communities Emmenhausen and Esebeck were given to the Adelebsen office , Gladebeck to the Moringen office , Marienstein to the Nörten office and Höckelheim to the Northeim office . In 1859 the Bovenden office became part of the Göttingen office . Höckelheim and Marienstein came to the enlarged Northeim office.
