Location of the Königsee District Office

The Königsee District Office was an administrative district in the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and the Free State of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt from 1850 to 1922 . Most of its area today belongs to the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district in Thuringia .

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 two district offices of Rudolstadt and Königsee were set up in the supremacy . The Königsee District Office went back to the Schwarzburg office, whose official seat was moved to Königsee in 1668 . It comprised a stretch of land on the Schwarza and on the Rinne in the Thuringian Slate Mountains .

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 Königsee District Office was dissolved:
