By cabinet order of August 10, 1857, the Essen district was separated from the Duisburg district in 1859 and reorganized, but now without the mayor offices of Mülheim / Ruhr-Stadt and -Land. In 1862, parts of the Borbeck, Holten and Mülheim-Land mayor's offices were used to build the new Oberhausen mayor's office . The city of Duisburg left the Duisburg district in 1874 and became a separate urban district. The Mülheim an der Ruhr district with its seat in the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr was formed from the remaining parts of the Duisburg district . On July 1, 1887, the cities of Ruhrort and Dinslaken as well as the mayorships of Beeck, Dinslaken-Land, Duisburg-Land, Gahlen, Götterswickerhamm, Meiderich and Sterkrade left the Mülheim an der Ruhr district, the remainder of the old area after Duisburg and Essen had left District of Duisburg and formed the new Ruhrort district.
