history

Emergence

The district of Battenberg was formed in the course of an administrative reform in 1821. This dissolved the old offices, whereby for the first time jurisdiction and administration were separated at the lower level . Spatially, the new district was larger than the old offices. In it were combined:

the Battenberg office ,
the part of the Biedenkopf office to the left of the Lahn ,

the place Wolfgruben ,

the patrimonial court Breidenbach and

the patrimonial court Breidenstein .

With this administrative reform, however, the rights of the patrimonial judges in the area of public security and order were retained .

resolution

As part of the administrative reform of 1832, the administrative districts were combined into administrative districts. The district of Battenberg merged (together with the district of Gladenbach and the district of Vöhl ) in the new district of Biedenkopf.
