geography
At the end of 1973, the district of Frankenberg bordered in a clockwise direction starting in the north with the districts of Waldeck , Fritzlar-Homberg , Ziegenhain , Marburg and Biedenkopf in Hesse and the districts of Wittgenstein and Brilon in North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
The Frankenberg district was created on June 29, 1821 as one of four districts in the province of Upper Hesse, also Oberkurhessen, in the Electorate of Hesse . It was composed of the historical offices of Frankenberg , Rosenthal , Haina , Hessenstein and the Viermünden court .
As a result of the German war of 1866 that had the Grand Duchy of Hesse the district Vöhl in the Peace Treaty of 3 September 1866 in Prussia cede. The district of Vöhl received a special status on January 12, 1867 within the Frankenberg district. With effect from April 1, 1886, the separate administrative district Vöhl was abolished and its communities were directly subordinate to the district administrator in Frankenberg.
On April 4, 1929, the Frankenberg district gave the communities of Deisfeld , Eimelrod , Hemmighausen and Höringhausen to the Eisenberg district . Until then, these communities were exclaves of the Frankenberg district in the Free State of Waldeck .
As part of the Prussian district reform, the district received the communities Allendorf (Eder) , Battenberg (Eder) , Battenfeld , Berghofen , Biebighausen , Bromskirchen , Dodenau , Eifa , Frohnhausen , Hatzfeld (Eder) , Holzhausen / Eder , Laisa , Oberasphe , Reddighausen and Rennertehausen from the Biedenkopf district . Since then, the district of Frankenberg has comprised 77 communities, including the cities of Battenberg (Eder), Frankenau , Frankenberg (Eder), Gemünden (Wohra) and Rosenthal .
On December 31, 1970, the municipality of Oberwerba left the district and was incorporated into the municipality of Ober-Werbe in the Waldeck district. After a large number of other parish mergers, there were still 22 parishes in the Frankenberg district before its dissolution on December 31, 1973.
As part of the Hessian district reform , the district of Frankenberg and most of the district of Waldeck were merged on January 1, 1974 to form the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg . Korbach became the district town . At the same time, the municipality of Schiffelbach was incorporated from the dissolved Marburg district into the city of Gemünden (Wohra). In addition, further incorporations took place on January 1, 1974. In the end, eleven communities from the Frankenberg district joined the new Waldeck-Frankenberg district.
