geography
At the end of 1976, the Wetzlar district bordered clockwise in the north, beginning with the Marburg-Biedenkopf and Gießen districts , the Wetterau district , the Hochtaunus district , the Limburg-Weilburg district and the Dill district .
history
The district of Wetzlar was founded in 1816 in the Koblenz administrative district of the Prussian Rhine province and was an exclave of the Rhine province until 1932 . The Braunfels district, also founded in 1816, was incorporated into the Wetzlar district in 1822.
On October 1, 1932, a district reform took place in Prussia, which also affected the Wetzlar district:
- The communities Fellingshausen , Frankenbach , Hermannstein , Koenigsberg , Krumbach , Naunheim , Rodheim an der Bieber and Waldgirmes moved from the district of Biedenkopf to the district of Wetzlar.
- The communities Brandoberndorf , Cleeberg , Espa , Hasselborn and Weiperfelden moved from the Usingen district to the Wetzlar district.
- The Wetzlar district moved to the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau .
Since then, the Wetzlar district has comprised 91 communities, including the three cities of Braunfels , Leun and Wetzlar.
After the Second World War , the district came to the state of Hesse. From 1952, the district in Hesse was known as the Wetzlar district.
From 1967 the delimitation of the district changed several times:
- On April 1, 1967, the Kinzenbach community left the district and was incorporated into Heuchelheim in the Gießen district.
- On December 31, 1971, the communities of Odenhausen and Salzböden left the district and were incorporated into Lollar in the district of Gießen.
- On April 1, 1972, the community Bellersdorf left the district and was incorporated into Mittenaar in the Dill district .
- On July 1, 1974, the Bischoffen community moved from the dissolved Biedenkopf district to the Wetzlar district.
- Also on July 1, 1974, the communities Altenkirchen and Philippstein from the Oberlahnkreis were incorporated into Braunfels in the Wetzlar district.
The area of the district increased from the original 640.2 km² to 673.7 km². By the end of 1976, the number of municipalities in the district had been reduced to 47 through further municipality mergers.
With effect from January 1, 1977, the district of Wetzlar was dissolved:
- The city of Wetzlar and the communities of Atzbach , Dutenhofen , Garbenheim , Hermannstein , Krofdorf-Gleiberg , Launsbach , Lützellinden , Münchholzhausen , Nauborn , Naunheim , Steindorf , Waldgirmes and Wißmar were incorporated into the new independent city of Lahn .
- The municipality of Ebersgöns was incorporated into Butzbach in the Wetterau district.
- The rest of the district, in which numerous other communities merged at the same time, merged into the new Lahn-Dill district.
Due to violent protests from the population, however, the territorial reform was partially reversed. With effect from August 1, 1979, the city of Lahn was dissolved again. The largest part of the former district of Wetzlar together with the rebuilt city of Wetzlar and the former Dill district have since formed the Lahn-Dill district . The seat of the district administration is Wetzlar. The municipality of Biebertal, which until 1976 belonged to the district of Wetzlar, did not remain in the Lahn-Dill district, but came to the re-established district of Gießen.
