Hamm district

The district of Hamm (from 1901 district of Hamm ) was a district in the administrative district of Arnsberg in the Prussian province of Westphalia until 1930 . It comprised large parts of today 's Unna district and today's city of Hamm , in particular the area south of the Lippe , which was formerly part of the Hamm district . On October 17, 1930 it was renamed the Unna district .

history

After the county of Mark was absorbed into the Prussian state in 1753 , it was divided into new administrative districts. The Hamm district was set up as one of four district councilors in the county of Mark. From 1753 to 1788, the district administrators emerged from the von der Recke zu Reck family , where the Creisstube was also located.

During the Napoleonic era, the Hamm district was part of the Grand Duchy of Berg . At that time it was roughly equivalent to the canton of Hamm along with the municipalities of Hamm , Pelkum and Rhynern. The canton of Hamm together with the cantons of Ahlen , Beckum , Lippstadt , Oelde , Soest and Rheda , and later also the cantons of Sassenberg and Warendorf , formed the arrondissement of Hamm . This in turn was part of the Ruhr Department .

After the defeat in the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig in October 1813, the French withdrew from the Grand Duchy. As previously Prussian property, the county of Mark fell back to Prussia at the end of 1813 . When the administration in the new province of Westphalia was reorganized , the district of Hamm became part of the administrative district of Arnsberg in 1816 .

On January 20, 1817, David Wiethaus , who had been acting provisionally until then, was appointed District Administrator of the Hamm district. From 1817 to 1848 the district administration was rented in Weststrasse 51. As it turned out when it was demolished in 1937, this inconspicuous building was the former chapel of the West Hospital . The district was initially divided into the six mayorships of Fröndenberg, Hamm, Kamen, Pelkum, Rhynern and Unna.

As part of the introduction of the rural community order for the province of Westphalia, the mayor's offices were initially transferred to six offices in 1843 , with the cities of Hamm , Kamen and Unna remaining vacant. As early as 1845, the number of offices was reduced to four through amalgamation, which has since been structured as follows:

Office	Municipalities (as of 1860)
Fröndenberg	Altendorf , Ardey , Bausenhagen , Bentrop , Billmerich , Dellwig , Frohnhausen , Frömern , Dorf Fröndenberg , Fröndenberg Abbey , Kessebüren , Langschede , Neimen , Ostbüren , Stentrop , Strickherdicke , Warmen and Westick b. Fröndenberg
Pelkum	Altenbögge , Bergkamen , Bönen , Derne , Heil , Herringen , Lerche , Nordbögge , Osterbönen , Overberge , Pelkum , Rottum , Rünthe , Sandbochum , Weetfeld , Westerbönen and Wiescherhöfen
Rhynern	Allen , mountains , Braam-Ostwennemar , Bramey-Lenningsen , Bruges (Gutsbezirk) Flierich , Freiske , Frielinghausen , hair , Hilbeck , Mark , Norddinker , Osterflierich , Osttünnen , Rhynern , Schmehausen , Sönnern , Süddinker , Uentrop , Vöcking Hausen , Wambeln , Werries and Westtünnen
Unna-Kamen	Afferde , Heeren , Hemmerde , Lünern , Methler , Mühlhausen , Niederaden , Niedermassen , Oberaden , Obermassen , Siddinghausen , Stockum , Südkamen , Uelzen , Wasserkurl , Weddinghofen , Werve , Westhemmerde and Westick b. Came

In the 1860s the district administration was located in the building called " Nassauer Hof " at Nassauerstraße 17/19. It was not until 1888 that a separate building, the district office (Ständehaus) at the Westentor, was completed, which was badly damaged by bombing in 1944.

On April 1, 1901, the city of Hamm, which had grown considerably, left the district and became a district-free. Nevertheless, the administration of the district initially remained in Hamm until 1930. In 1902 the communities of Westick near Fröndenberg and Fröndenberg Abbey were incorporated into Fröndenberg. In 1910 the two communities Heeren and Werve were merged to form the community Heeren-Werve . In 1911, Niedermassen and Obermassen were merged to form the community of Massen . In 1928 the manor district of Bruges was incorporated into the municipality of Bramey-Lenningsen. In 1929, the communities of Holzwickede (including part of the former community of Sölde ), Hengsen and Opherdicke from the dissolved district of Hörde were incorporated into the district of Hamm (Unna-Kamen).

In 1930 the district administration was relocated to Unna and the district was renamed as District Unna with effect from October 17, 1930 .
