Administrative history
The Bochum district was founded in 1817 in the Arnsberg administrative district of the Prussian province of Westphalia . Its predecessor territory was the canton of Bochum in the Ruhr department of the Grand Duchy of Berg . The district was initially divided into the six mayorships of Blankenstein, Bochum, Hattingen, Herne, Wattenscheid and Witten. As part of the introduction of the rural community order for the province of Westphalia, the mayor's offices were transferred to offices in 1844 , with the cities of Bochum and Hattingen remaining vacant. In 1851 the city of Witten left the Witten office and was also vacated. The Langendreer office was formed from the remaining municipalities of the Witten office . Since then, the district initially comprised six offices and a total of 75 municipalities:

In 1885 the population of the district of Bochum had increased so much that a division into three districts was deemed necessary.

The district of Hattingen was formed from the city of Hattingen, the offices of Blankenstein and Hattingen and the southern part of the Wattenscheid office . In the smaller district of Bochum, the municipality of Werne and 1892 the municipality of Weitmar were each raised to their own offices. In 1897 Herne received city rights and became vacant.
