Neighboring areas

Beginning in 1972, the district bordered in a clockwise direction to the northeast with the Bad Salzungen district in the Suhl district of the GDR and the Hessian districts of Fulda , Lauterbach and Hersfeld .

history

The district of Hünfeld was founded in 1821 in the Electorate of Hesse . In 1856, the Rödergrund community moved from the Hünfeld district to the Fulda district and became part of the Rödergrund-Egelmes community there .

After the annexation of the electorate by Prussia as a result of the German War in 1866, the district belonged to the administrative district of Kassel in the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau .

On April 1, 1881, the communities of Oberstoppel and Unterstoppel and the Oberförsterei Burghaun manor district changed from the Hersfeld district to the Hünfeld district.

Since 1946 the district was part of the state of Hesse . After Oberufhausen and Unterufhausen were merged on April 1, 1958 to form the municipality of Ufhausen , the district of Hünfeld comprised 77 municipalities, one of which, Hünfeld, had town charter. In 1968 and 1971 the district of Hünfeld was downsized twice:

  • On September 1, 1968, the municipality of Glaam left the district and was incorporated into the municipality of Ransbach in the district of Hersfeld.
  • On February 1, 1971, the municipality of Mansbach left the district and was merged with the municipality of Ransbach to form the new municipality of Hohenroda in the Hersfeld district.

As a result of a series of further community mergers , which also resulted in the new communities Haunetal , Kiebitzgrund and Nüsttal , the number of communities in the district decreased to 24 by July 1972.

As part of the Hessian district reform , the district of Hünfeld was dissolved on August 1, 1972:
