history
1821 to 1848
After Jérôme Bonaparte was expelled and the Kingdom of Westphalia was dissolved in 1813, Elector Wilhelm von Hessen-Kassel reorganized the administration of his country. With the "Ordinance of June 29, 1821 concerning the restructuring of the previous state administration", Kurhessen was divided into four provinces . The so-called Oberkurhessen , the offices of Amöneburg and Neustadt as well as the former county of Ziegenhain formed the province of Upper Hesse .
The ordinance of August 30, 1821 then further subdivided the Hessian state territory into circles . The districts of Marburg , Kirchhain , Frankenberg and Ziegenhain belonged to the province of Upper Hesse .
The district Ziegenhain formed the offices:
- Ziegenhain - consisting of the previous office Ziegenhain, but without Dittershausen , Florshain , Mengsberg , Rommershausen , Seigertshausen , Wasenberg and Wiera
- Treysa - consisting of the previous Treysa office as well as the places Dittershausen, Florshain, Mengsberg and Schlag, Hain, Sommer and Eisermühle, Rommershausen, Wasenberg and Wiera, which were spun off from the previous Ziegenhain office
- Neukirchen - consisting of the previous office of Neukirchen, but without Berfa and Görzhain ; from the previous office of Neuenstein Hauptschwenda and Schwarzenborn together with the courts of Kämmershagen and Richberg; from the previous office of Oberaula Christerode and from the former office of Ziegenhain Seigertshausen together with the Hergets and Happersmühle.
- Oberaula - consisting of the previous office Oberaula, but without Christerode; from the previous office of Neukirchen Berfa with the Biegmühle and Görzhain with the Kleinmühle.
On January 1, 1837, the community of Densberg moved from the district of Ziegenhain to the district of Fritzlar.
The district then consisted of the four cities Treysa , Ziegenhain, Neukirchen and Schwarzenborn , the market towns of Frielendorf and Oberaula and 73 communities.
1848 to 1851
As a result of the March Revolution of 1848, the Electorate of Hesse was divided into nine districts by the law of October 31, 1848. According to this, the previous offices of Treysa, Ziegenhain and Neukirchen were assigned to the Fritzlar district , and the previous Oberaula office to the Hersfeld district .
1851 to 1968
On July 7, 1851, Elector Friedrich Wilhelm I decreed : "The division of the electoral state into districts and provinces, which existed until February 1, 1849, applies to the internal state administration again ..." This order was to be implemented on September 15, 1851, so that it is now back in effect District Ziegenhain existed.
The incorporation of the Electorate of Hesse into the Kingdom of Prussia after the German War did not lead to any significant change in the district structure. In 1867 the district of Ziegenhain became part of the newly formed administrative district of Kassel.
The number of municipalities changed only insignificantly until the regional reform in Hesse was initiated in 1970:
- On January 1, 1837, Densberg was spun off into what was then the Fritzlar district ,
- On May 18, 1843, the community of Schönstein was formed from settlements previously incorporated near Schönau (Rommershäuser Eisenhütte, Nordenmühle and the “Heidenhäuser before Jeust”).
- The communities Althattendorf and Neuhattendorf were merged on October 1, 1937 to form the community Hattendorf .
- Originally as a prisoner of war camp in the district Steina built Barackenort Trutzhain was recognized on May 1, 1951 as an independent municipality.
Between 1951 and 1968 the district of Ziegenhain comprised 79 communities, including the cities of Neukirchen , Schwarzenborn , Treysa and Ziegenhain.
Territorial reform in Hesse
Voluntary amalgamations of communities in the district took place since 1968, as they were associated with financial benefits. Among other things, the municipalities of Breitenbach , Hatterode and Oberjossa merged to form the municipality of Breitenbach am Herzberg on December 31, 1971 , and Gehau and Machtlos were added on July 1, 1972 .
On August 1, 1972, the district of Ziegenhain was reduced in size:
- The communities of Berfa , Hattendorf and Lingelbach left the district and were incorporated into the town of Alsfeld in the Vogelsberg district.
- The enlarged municipality of Breitenbach am Herzberg moved to the new district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg .
This reduced the area of the district from the original 585.8 km² to 510.78 km². At the end of its existence on December 31, 1973, the district of Ziegenhain still consisted of the following 28 communities:
- Antrefftal , consisting of Gungelshausen , Merzhausen , Willingshausen and Zella
- Friedigerode

- Schwarzenborn
- Sebbeterode
- Seigertshausen
- Spieskappel
- Steina
- Electoral houses
- Wasenberg
With effect from January 1, 1974, the Fritzlar-Homberg , Melsungen and Ziegenhain districts (except for the Mengsberg community) were merged to form the Schwalm-Eder district based on the law of September 28, 1973 . The corresponding passage in § 27 reads:
"The district of Fritzlar-Homberg with the cities of Borken (Hessen), Fritzlar, Gudensberg, Homberg (Efze), Niedenstein and the communities of Edermünde, Jesberg, Knüllwald, Neuental, Wabern and Zwesten, the district of Melsungen with the cities of Felsberg, Melsungen, Spangenberg and the communities of Guxhagen, Körle, Malsfeld, Morschen and the district of Ziegenhain with the cities of Neukirchen, Schwalmstadt, Schwarzenborn and the communities of Frielendorf, Gilserberg, Oberaula, Ottrau, Schrecksbach and Willingshausen become a district with the name "Schwalm-Eder-Kreis" united. The seat of the district administration is the city of Homberg (Efze). "
At the same time, a community reform was carried out, which resulted in the following changes for the communities in the district of Ziegenhain:
- The communities Gilserberg, Moischeid, Schönstein and Sebbeterode were merged into one community with the name "Gilserberg".
- The communities Antrefftal, Leimbach, Loshausen, Ransbach, Steina and Wasenberg were merged to form a community called "Willingshausen".
- The communities Röllshausen and Salmshausen were incorporated into the community Schrecksbach.
- The Seigertshausen community was incorporated into the city of Neukirchen.
- The municipalities of Friedigerode - with the exception of the parcels mentioned in § 7 Paragraph 2 -, Ibra, Oberaula, Olberode - with the exception of the parcel named in § 5 Paragraph 2 No. 2 - and electoral houses became a municipality with the name "Oberaula" united.
- The Grebenhagen community (previously Fritzlar-Homberg district) was incorporated into the town of Schwarzenborn.
- The communities Allendorf, Frielendorf, Grenzebach, Großropperhausen, Spieskappel ( Verna and Leuderode - previously Schwalm-Eder district) were merged to form a community called "Frielendorf".
- The community Mengsberg was incorporated into the town of Neustadt (Hessen) in the then Marburg district .
In the end, seven communities from the Ziegenhain district joined the Schwalm-Eder district.
