Location of the Gersfeld district

The district of Gersfeld was from 1867 to 1932 a district in the administrative district of Kassel in the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau . Its predecessor from 1862 to 1867 was the Bavarian district office of Gersfeld .

history

The district office Gersfeld was in the Kingdom of Bavaria as part of the administrative reform of 1862 from the regional court districts Hilders and Weyhers formed. The seat of the district office was in Gersfeld , which today belongs to the district of Fulda . The Bavarian district offices were comparable to a district in terms of their function and size . The Weyhers Regional Court and the Hilders Regional Court continued to exist with a reduced scope of duties.

Following the German War of 1866, Bavaria had to cede the Gersfeld district office with the Tann , Hilders and Weyhers offices to Prussia . The Gersfeld district office in Bavaria became the Prussian district of Gersfeld, which became part of the new province of Hesse-Nassau .

The district of Gersfeld was dissolved in 1932 and incorporated into the neighboring district of Fulda .
