history
In implementation of the “Ordinance concerning the official and district constitution in the Province of Hanover” , a district of Göttingen , also known as the Steering Committee , was established in the Prussian Province of Hanover for the first time in 1867 , consisting of the independent cities of Göttingen and Hann. Münden and the offices of Göttingen, Münden and Reinhausen , set up for the purposes of tax and military administration.
For the purposes of general administration, the district of Göttingen was formed in 1885 as part of the introduction of the “ District Code for the Province of Hanover” . It was composed of the municipalities of the offices of Göttingen and Reinhausen (excluding the municipality of Meensen and the Ellerode estate, which came to the Münden district ). The administrative seat of the new district, which belonged to the Hildesheim administrative district, became the independent city of Göttingen.
New formation 1973
The district of Göttingen was re-established on January 1, 1973 as part of the municipal regional reform. It was formed from the districts of Göttingen created in 1885 (to which the previously independent city of Göttingen belonged since 1964), Duderstadt and Münden , the communities of Adelebsen and Unterbillingshausen of the district of Northeim and the communities of Lütgenhausen and Wollershausen of the district of Osterode am Harz . The district of Duderstadt had about 41,000 inhabitants at that time, the district of Münden about 45,000, the old district of Göttingen (excluding the city) about 50,000 and the city of Göttingen more than 110,000 inhabitants.
New creation 2016
In 2012 and 2013 plans arose to merge the Göttingen district with the Osterode am Harz and Northeim districts. An important reason for this was that the Lower Saxony state government wanted to pay debt relief, so-called “merger premiums”, to the new district of Göttingen after a merger - provided that a merger was decided by March 31, 2013. In addition to debt relief, the districts also wanted to counteract future shortfalls in income due to the population losses expected in the coming decades.
At the beginning of 2013, the Northeim district withdrew from the talks. In mid-February 2013, only the merger of the districts of Göttingen and Osterode emerged. The district assemblies of Göttingen (March 6, 2013) and Osterode (March 11, 2013) decided to start merger negotiations. On August 28, 2013, the Göttingen district assembly approved a merger by a majority.
On November 1, 2016, the merger of the districts of Göttingen and Osterode am Harz, resolved on February 1, 2014 with a corresponding area change agreement, was implemented to form a new, larger district of Göttingen with Göttingen as the district town . The branch offices of the district administration in Duderstadt and Hann. Münden still exist. A new one to be set up in Osterode will be added.
Population development
The district of Göttingen was significantly enlarged in 1964, 1973 and 2016.

Münden on to Kassel (" Hannöversche Südbahn "). The high-speed line Hanover – Würzburg operated by Deutsche Bahn , which began operating in full in 1991 , takes roughly the same route .

media
Press
In the district of Göttingen there are four daily newspapers, the distribution areas of which correspond to the old districts that existed before the Lower Saxony regional reform of 1972 . The Göttinger Tageblatt (“GT”) appears in the old district of Göttingen, the Eichsfelder Tageblatt (“ET”) in the old district of Duderstadt and in the old district of Hann. Münden the Mündener Allgemeine ( "HNA" ). The Harz Kurier ("HK") appears in the old district of Osterode . The Harz Kurier of "Harz Kurier Verlagsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG" has been the sole daily newspaper in the old district of Osterode since 1997. It was separated from the Herzberger “ Jungfer Druckerei und Verlag GmbH ” in 2006 and has been part of the Funke media group ever since . The printing has now been done in Braunschweig, which is where the coat comes from.
GT and ET belong to the Madsack Group , which publishes the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung (HAZ) and the Neue Presse ; the supraregional reporting is abbreviated and re-compiled by the HAZ. The local editors of GT and ET cooperate so that articles from one local edition appear in the other if they are of interest to the respective readership; For the readers of the ET there is regularly a short summary of the local part of the GT from the regional center of Göttingen, which dominates the district . The two newspapers also run a joint website.
The Mündener Allgemeine is a header of the Hessisch-Niedersächsische Allgemeine (HNA) from Kassel, which belongs to the Ippen-Verlag ( Münchner Merkur ) . The supraregional part is taken over by the central editorial office in Kassel. The HNA maintains its own editorial offices in Göttingen and Hanover for reporting on the state of Lower Saxony and the district of Göttingen . The content from these external editors is also used in the two other Lower Saxony editions of the HNA, the Sollinger Allgemeine from Uslar in the Northeim district and the Northeimer Neuesten Nachrichten from the district town of Northeim and in the Harzkurier.
Radio and television
As part of the state of Lower Saxony , the district of Göttingen belongs to the broadcasting area of the NDR . Although the NDR maintains its own outdoor studio in Göttingen, there are no regional divisions of the NDR programs for the district. However, the district area has a not inconsiderable share in the reporting of regional broadcasts from the NDR-Studio Braunschweig , which cover eastern and southern Lower Saxony.
In the old district of Göttingen as well as in parts of the old district of Duderstadt and small outskirts of the old district of Münden, the non-commercial local radio " Stadtradio Göttingen " with its extensive local reporting can also be received.
The nationwide commercial radio stations ffn and Hitradio Antenne broadcast regular local windows for southern Lower Saxony and operate studios in Göttingen for this purpose. However, depending on the location, the northern district area is more likely to receive the regional news from Braunschweig through the strong transmitter on Torfhaus .
