Hildesheim district
The Hildesheim district emerged from the former bishopric and later Prussian Principality of Hildesheim, without the northeastern part, which had come to the Braunschweig district, and the southeastern part, which was found in the Goslar district. The district of Hunnesrück, somewhat remote to the southwest, came to the Leine department, to the Einbeck district, together with some other south and western places of the larger contiguous part of the principality, including some Brunswick and Hanover places completely enclosed by Hildesheim.
The Hildesheim district is bounded in the north by Hanover, to the east by the Braunschweig district, to the south along a line from the place Ölper to the river Innerste near the place Rehna, from there to the area of the place Werder, along the mountains Steimberg and Oheberg to the Waldersen village, now to the border of the Lamspringe office to the Leine, the border of the department. In the west, the district bordered the Hanoverian countries along the Leine.
