Meadow circle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wiesenkreis was a short-lived administrative unit of the Grand Duchy of Baden , which acted from 1809 to 1815 as an intermediary between the state government and the district offices ( administrative division of Baden ).

history

The organizational rescript of November 26, 1809 provided the first exhaustive regulation of the newer administrative organization in Baden. On the middle level, the three provinces were abolished and replaced by ten districts following the French model. The district governments supervised the 66 sovereign and 53 civil district offices.

The name Wiesenkreis was derived from the Wiese river , which comes from the Feldberg and flows into the Rhine near Basel and flows through the offices of Schönau, Schopfheim and Lörrach on its way.

The first and only director of the Wiesenkreis was the previous governor of the Rötteln Oberamt , August von Kalm .

In November 1815 it was announced that the Wiesenkreis would be dissolved and added to the Dreisamkreis. On November 11, 1815, the business of the directorate of the Wiesenkreis was transferred to that of the Dreisamkreis. The previous district director of the State Council of Kalm has retired and has been appointed real State Councilor.

Area of ​​the meadow circle

The core of the district formed the area of ​​the previous Oberamt Rötteln . In addition to the district offices of Lörrach, Schopfheim and Kandern formed after the dissolution of the previous Oberamt Rötteln, the district included the lordly district offices of Säckingen, Waldshut, St. Blasien, Schönau, Müllheim and Badenweiler, with numerous changes being made at the level of the assigned communities. The Laufenburg (Kleinlaufenburg) office was newly established. The previous offices of Beuggen and Schliengen were dissolved and the communities that had previously belonged there were assigned to the district offices of Lörrach, Schopfheim and Kandern.

In addition to these lordly offices, a number of lordly places were also assigned to the meadow district. These were places whose landlords were noble families of the former knighthood of Breisgau. It was not until 1810 that these places were also assigned to district offices. The manorial office of Zell of the barons of Schönau came to the office of Schopfheim. The towns of Obersäckingen, Ober- and Nieder-Schwörstadt, Öflingen, Wallbach and Wehr, which also belong to Schönau, were added to the Säckingen office. Inzlingen ( Reich von Reichenstein ) to the office of Loerrach; Bamlach and Rheinweiler ( barons of Rotberg ), Liel ( barons of Baden ) and Bad Bellingen ( barons of Andlau ) came to the Kandern office. Unteralpfen ( Zweyer von Evenbach ) was assigned to the Waldshut office.

In 1812 Prince Joseph von Schwarzenberg sold the civil rights that he had in the area of ​​the former Schwarzenberg rulership to the Grand Duchy of Baden. The former civil offices of Tiengen and Jestetten , which previously belonged to the Danube District, were assigned to the Wiesenkreis in 1813.

With an ordinance of May 14, 1813, the civil administrative and judicial rights were repealed on June 1, 1813.
