Unterwald district
The western part of the Duchy of Paderborn in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was sometimes referred to as the Unterwald district (also district or Niederwald district / district or Unterwalden ) beyond the Prussian occupation in 1802/03 . It roughly coincided with today's Paderborn district and was delimited by the Eggegebirge from the Oberwald district , which roughly comprised today's Höxter district (excluding Corvey / Höxter ). The Unterwald district consisted mainly of flat land in the northeast, while the neighboring district was characterized by the Egge Mountains and the Weser Uplands.
Until 1802/03 there were different levels of administration in the prince-bishopric, but these were not strictly separated from each other in individual cases. In many cases it was not just an administrative name, but a purely regional term. In theory only, Paderborn Abbey was divided into two large administrative units.
The seat of the administration of the Unterwald district was the prince-bishop's residence Neuhaus . At the head stood a Landdrost .
The new Prussian administration provided for a new division of the districts into rural districts as early as 1803 . With the decree of 1803 the Unterwaldische Kreis was established with its seat in Paderborn. To the east of the Egge, the Oberwaldische Kreis and the Warburger Kreis were established. This split the principality of Paderborn into three parts.
In the 18th century the following offices belonged to the Unterwald district:
