geography

At the end of 1973 the district bordered in a clockwise direction in the northeast on the districts Wolfhagen , Kassel , Melsungen , Rotenburg , Hersfeld-Rotenburg , Ziegenhain , Frankenberg and Waldeck .

history

The district was established on October 1, 1932, due to the need to take savings measures in the wake of the global economic crisis of 1929, as part of the so-called minor administrative reform in Prussia by merging the Fritzlar and Homberg districts . The district town was Fritzlar . The district had an area of 661.9 km² and initially comprised 113 communities, including the five cities of Borken , Fritzlar, Gudensberg , Homberg and Niedenstein . On January 1, 1939, the Fritzlar-Homberg district was renamed the Fritzlar-Homberg district.

The first community mergers occurred in the Fritzlar-Homberg district as early as the 1950s and 1960s. At the beginning of the 1970s, the demarcation of the district also changed several times:

On December 31, 1971, the municipalities of Mühlbach , Raboldshausen , Saasen and Salzberg left the district and were incorporated into the new municipality of Neuenstein (Hesse) in what was then the district of Hersfeld .
Also on December 31, 1971, the community of Deute was incorporated from the then Melsungen district into the Gudensberg community in the Fritzlar-Homberg district.
On August 1, 1972, the community of Rengshausen was incorporated into the district from the dissolved district of Rotenburg .
Also on April 1, 1972, the community of Niedermöllrich was incorporated from the then Melsungen district into the Wabern community in the Fritzlar-Homberg district.

The area of the district increased from the original 661.9 km² to 668.8 km². A series of further parish mergers reduced the number of parishes in the district to 22 by the end of 1973.

As part of the Hessian district reform , the Fritzlar-Homberg district was combined with the Melsungen and Ziegenhain districts to form the Schwalm-Eder district with effect from January 1, 1974 . At the same time, further incorporations took place on January 1, 1974. Ultimately, eleven municipalities from the Fritzlar-Homberg district joined the Schwalm-Eder district. Homberg became the county seat of the new greater district.

Population development

The population development in the Fritzlar-Homberg district was as shown in the table:

year	Residents	source
1933	55,792
1939	58.023
1945	74,600
1950	87,944
1957	79,242

1961	78,435
1968	84,100
1970	83,889
1972	86,000

The strong population growth after the Second World War is due to a high number of evacuees and refugees from the former German eastern regions .
