history

The Duchy of Saxony-Coburg and Gotha in the German Empire was divided into independent cities and district offices in 1858. In addition to the three independent cities of Gotha , Ohrdruf and Waltershausen , the three district offices of Gotha, Ohrdruf and Waltershausen were formed in the Gotha part of the country, the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha . In addition to the area around Gotha, the exclaves Körner and Werningshausen also belonged to the Gotha District Office .

In 1918, the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha became the Free State of Saxony-Gotha , which in turn became part of the new state of Thuringia on May 1, 1920 . During a comprehensive regional reform on October 1, 1922, the Gotha District Office was dissolved:

  • The communities of Bittstädt, Eischleben, Haarhausen, Holzhausen, Ichtershausen, Molsdorf, Rehestädt, Sülzenbrücken and Thörey came to the new district of Arnstadt .
  • The exclave Körner with the communities Hohenbergen, Kleinkeula, Körner, Menteroda and Obermehler came to the new district Sondershausen
  • The Werningshausen exclave became part of the new Weimar district .
  • The community Siebleben was incorporated into the independent city of Gotha.
  • All other communities came to the new district of Gotha .
