The Hadersleben district was a district in the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein from 1867 to 1920 . As part of Northern Schleswig , its area came to Denmark in 1920 .
history
After the German-Danish War of 1864, Schleswig - and with it the Hadersleben office - was occupied by Prussia and Austria and finally annexed by Prussia in 1867. As a replacement for Danish enclaves around Mögeltondern and Westerland-Föhr, some municipalities of the Hadersleben office remained in Denmark. In addition, the border has been straightened in some areas.
The Hadersleben district became “from the town of Hadersleben” in 1867 ; the place Christiansfeld; the Oster- und Westeramt Hadersleben with the island of Aarö, the enclavated aristocratic estates and formerly Jutian enclaves, as well as the enclaves of the land previously belonging to the Lügumkloster ” . The Hardes Courts and the Hadersleben City Court were replaced by local courts and the Harden as police districts were combined to form larger Hardesvogteien. In 1869 the rural community code came into force.
As the northernmost border district in the west of what was then the German Empire, the Hadersleben district was in an uncomfortable peripheral location, as traffic with the northern hinterland across the border was difficult. In return, Kolding and the newly founded Esbjerg in southern Denmark benefited from the elimination of competition from the cities of Schleswig. The industry in Hadersleben was expanded, and the district town was also important as a garrison town and a popular retirement home. But on the whole the district remained agrarian and had little development opportunities. Christiansfeld in particular, which was only five kilometers from the border, stagnated. The infrastructure was expanded primarily by a dense network of small railways owned by the district ( Haderslebener Kreisbahn ). However, these were often developed very winding and only had a connection to the main railways in Scherrebek and Woyens - and in Hadersleben via the branch line to Woyens. A connection to the neighboring Apenrader Kreisbahn existed with the Branderup – Osterterp railway line only during the First World War between 1916 and 1919.
In 1920 the district was dissolved and the area ceded to Denmark on the basis of the referendum in Schleswig provided for in the Peace Treaty of Versailles and converted into the Hadersleben office.
