As district administrators functioned until 1945 Prussian state officials, the tasks such as the supervision perceived on local administration. The local self-government took over the district committee . The district administrator and district committee were independent authorities until 1946. A part of the local court served as the administrative seat until 1914 , after which the new building at Worbiser Straße 9 was used for the same purposes. In 1946, based on the English model, a new district constitution was adopted, with a dual leadership, with the upper district director as electoral officer and the district administrator as representative of the district council .

As part of the municipal territorial reform in Lower Saxony , the Duderstadt district was merged with the Göttingen and Münden districts to form the newly formed Göttingen district , with the exception of the village of Lindau , which was incorporated into the Northeim district .
