---|---|
The district of Soltau was formed from the Office of Soltau in 1885 . The seat of the district administration was in the city of Soltau. From October 1, 1932 to October 1, 1933, the districts of Fallingbostel and Soltau were temporarily merged under the name of the Fallingbostel district. On August 1, 1938, the Bockel community was reclassified from the Fallingbostel district to the Soltau district.
The regional reform in Lower Saxony began in the Soltau district on February 1, 1971, when Alvern , Ilster , Oerrel , Töpingen and Trauen were incorporated into the city of Munster . On July 1, 1972, Breloh and the community of Lopau from the Uelzen district were also incorporated into the city of Munster. Numerous communities in the district were merged in March 1974 through the law on the reorganization of the communities in the Soltau / Fallingbostel area and the ordinance on the reorganization of the Bispingen community. The municipality of Woltem also came from the Fallingbostel district to the city of Soltau . Overall, the regional reform reduced the number of municipalities in the district from 58 in 1970 to six in 1974.
During the district reform in Lower Saxony, the district became part of the Soltau-Fallingbostel district on August 1, 1977 together with the Fallingbostel district, which has been called the Heidekreis district since August 1, 2011 .
