The canton Mieste (also Canton Mieste ) was an administrative unit in the Kingdom of Westphalia . It existed from 1807 to the dissolution of the kingdom in 1813 and, according to the administrative structure of 1807, initially belonged to the Salzwedel district of the Elbe department , and from September 1, 1810 to the Neuhaldensleben district of the Elbe department.

history

With the creation of the Kingdom of Westphalia by decree of August 18, 1807, an administrative reform was carried out in the previously Prussian Altmark in 1807 . The Altmark, along with other formerly Prussian parts of the country, came for the most part to the newly created department of the Elbe, which was divided into four districts ( Magdeburg , Neuhaldensleben, Stendal and Salzwedel). After the directory of departments, districts, cantons and communes of the Kingdom in December 1807 of Salzwedel district was divided into 15 cantons ( cantons ), including the Canton Mieste. The following belonged to the canton of Mieste (different original spellings in italics):

Mieste , canton capital ( chef lieu ) with width oak
Miesterhorst with Taterberg
Dannefeld with Peckfitz ( Peckwitz )
Köckte ( Kökte ) with Trippigleben
Jeggau with Tarnefitz ( Tarnewitz ) and Neuhof (a house: )52.548888888889 11.242222222222
Wenze with Quarnebeck ( Quernebeck )
Sichau with Wernitz , Dammkrug (not localized) and Sachau

Trippigleben, however, belonged as an exclave to the office of Klötze of the Electorate of Hanover , over whose territories the Kingdom of Westphalia could not dispose at that time. It was not until 1810 that the Electorate of Hanover was formally annexed by the Kingdom of Westphalia. The place came only after the annexation of the Electorate of Hanover by the Kingdom of Westphalia (formally on September 1, 1810) to the canton of Mieste.

The places assigned to the canton of Mieste belonged to the Salzwedelschen Kreis of Altmark until 1807 . In 1808 the canton of Mieste had 2,046 inhabitants. In 1810, Mr. Kummert was a canton-Maire and the canton had 2,144 inhabitants. On September 1, 1810, the Salzwedel district (in the Elbe department) was dissolved. A new district of Salzwedel in the department of the Lower Elbe was formed from eight cantons (or nine) . The canton of Mieste was assigned to the Neuhaldensleben district in the Elbe department.

With the collapse of the Kingdom of Westphalia after the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , the canton of Mieste was renamed Mieste District Office. The Mieste district office remained in the Neuhaldensleben district until 1814 and returned to the Salzwedel district in 1815. Mieste then came with the district reform of 1816 to the then newly created district of Gardelegen .
