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 Waltershausen, Ohrdruf and Gotha were formed in the Gotha part of the country, the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha . In addition to the immediate vicinity of Waltershausen, the district office of Waltershausen also included the exclaves Nazza with Ebenshausen , Frankenroda and Hallungen and Neukirchen with Lauterbach .
