The district of Hagen (until 1887 district of Hagen ) was a district in the administrative district of Arnsberg in the Prussian province of Westphalia . When it was founded, it essentially comprised the area of ​​today's Ennepe-Ruhr district and the city of Hagen .

history

The circle was founded in 1817 after the dissolution of the canton of Hagen in the Ruhr department of the Grand Duchy of Berg (1806-1813) under Napoleonic occupation and the subsequent provisional administration by Prussia in the Berg Generalgouvernement (1813-1815). In the Congress of Vienna , Westphalia was formally confirmed as the possession of Prussia, which consequently founded the Province of Westphalia and introduced its administrative structure there. The district of Hagen lay on the western border of the province of Westphalia and was subordinate to the administrative district of Arnsberg, which was also newly founded in 1816. On January 1, 1819, areas of the Bochum and Dortmund districts were added and on April 1, 1826 parts were again given to the Bochum district.

In the 1830s the district was divided into the eleven mayor offices of Boele, Breckerfeld, Ennepe, Enneperstraße, Hagen, Haßlinghausen, Herdecke, Langerfeld, Schwelm, Sprockhövel and Volmarstein. 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 Hagen , Herdecke and Schwelm remaining vacant. Since that time, the district initially comprised eleven offices and a total of 45 municipalities:

On May 1, 1867, the community Mylinghausen was renamed Gevelsberg . Voerde formed an office of its own in 1868 and Haspe became an office-free city in 1873. In 1876 Eilpe and Wehringhausen were incorporated into Hagen. The other municipalities of the office formed with the municipalities of the office Boele since then the office Boele-Hagen . In 1878 the rural community of Schwelm was merged with the town of Schwelm. In 1881 the Herdecke office was renamed the Wetter office and in 1884 Vorhalle moved from the Enneperstraße office to the Boele-Hagen office. Gevelsberg became vacant in 1886. Between 1888 and 1895, the Waldbauer community moved from the Enneperstraße office to the Breckerfeld office.

On April 1st, 1887 there was an extensive regional reform in the Hagen area. The city of Hagen left the district and became an independent city . At the same time, Gevelsberg and Schwelm as well as the offices of Ennepe, Haßlinghausen, Langerfeld, Sprockhövel and Voerde left the district and henceforth formed the Schwelm district . Since then, the district of Hagen has been called the district of Hagen .

The municipality of Bommern has had its own office since 1895. Westerbauer was incorporated into Haspe in 1898, with which the Enneperstraße office became extinct. In 1899, the town and rural community of Breckerfeld were merged. In 1901 Delstern, Eckesey and Eppenhausen were incorporated into Hagen. The Boele-Hagen office has been called the Boele office since then . The district of Hagen now comprised five offices and a total of 21 municipalities:

The city of Wetter resigned from the Wetter office in 1910 and became vacant. From then on, the community of Ende formed the office of Ende zu Wetter . In 1920 Vorhalle left the office of Boele and formed its own office. On August 1, 1929, the district of Hagen was dissolved. Boele, Fley, Halden, Haspe, Herbeck, Holthausen and Vorhalle were incorporated into Hagen, Bommern was incorporated into Witten and all other communities came to the newly founded Ennepe-Ruhr district .
