Administrative history

The Dortmund district was founded in 1817 after the end of the French Grand Duchy of Berg and the Ruhr department in the Arnsberg administrative district of the newly created Prussian province of Westphalia . The district was initially divided into the seven mayorries Aplerbeck, Castrop, Dortmund, Hörde, Lünen, Lütgendortmund and Schwerte.

As part of the introduction of the rural community order for the province of Westphalia, the mayor's offices were transferred to offices in 1843/1845 , with the cities of Dortmund and Schwerte remaining vacant. Since then, the district has comprised six offices and a total of 91 municipalities:
