history

The Arnsberg district was formed in 1817 in the Arnsberg administrative district of the Prussian province of Westphalia from the area of ​​the old offices of Arnsberg, Eslohe, Meschede and Werl of the former Duchy of Westphalia . As early as 1819, the district structure in the Sauerland was fundamentally changed. The area around Eslohe and Meschede was added to the new Eslohe district, while the Werl area fell to the Soest district and the municipality of Wickede to the Hamm district . At the same time, a number of communities in the Soest and Iserlohn districts joined the Arnsberg district. In 1832 the places of the parishes Balve and Affeln from the Iserlohn district and the Wildewiese community from the Eslohe district changed to the Arnsberg district.

The circle was in the 1830s in the mayors Allendorf, Arnsberg, Balve, Light box, Hüsten and Warstein and the mayor districts divided Hirschberg and Freienohl. As part of the introduction of the rural community order for the province of Westphalia, the district was divided into the offices of Allendorf , Balve , Freienohl , Hellefeld, Hüsten and Warstein as well as the two non-official cities Arnsberg and Neheim in 1844 . As early as 1845, the Hellefeld office was dissolved again and divided between the Allendorf and Freienohl offices.

Between 1845 and 1974 there were the following changes in the administrative structure of the district:

On October 1, 1969, the district became the Arnsberg district again .

The district was dissolved with effect from January 1, 1975 and most of its area was merged with that of the Meschede and Brilon districts to form the Hochsauerlandkreis . The town of Balve became part of the Märkisches Kreis together with the places of the former Balve office . The city of Warstein was united with the surrounding communities and added to the Soest district.
