history

In the 19th century, the principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt consisted of two spatially separate parts of the country, the supremacy in the Rudolstadt area and the subordinate rule around Frankenhausen . When the national territory was reorganized in 1850, the Frankenhausen District Office was formed from the subordinate rule. It included the city of Frankenhausen with its neighboring towns in the Kyffhäuser Mountains and the two exclaves Schlotheim and Immenrode .

In 1918 the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt became the Free State of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, which in turn became part of the State of Thuringia on May 1, 1920 . In the course of a comprehensive regional reform on October 1, 1922, the area of ​​the Frankenhausen district office was incorporated into the new district of Sondershausen .
