- Administrative/biographical history:
- A fundamental reorganisation of the office division of the Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe took place in 1879 (according to the law of 31 December 1877), when two administrative and thus identical district court jurisdictions were created in Stadthagen (see L 101b and L 102b and L 120a and L 120b) and Bückeburg. The administrative district of Bückeburg comprised the administrative districts of Bückeburg and Arensburg which in terms of administration had already been combined in 1714. The administrative district was presided over by a bailiff. The business area of responsibility changed as a result of the Regulation of 1879, in that jurisdiction as a district court (see L 120a) operated parallel to the official administration, but otherwise still included all lower-level state administrative matters. In 1884, the administrative district was converted into an administrative district of Bückeburg-Arensburg, accordingly the bailiff now held the title of a district administrator. This title was retained even after the re-designation of the administrative district office within the Bückeburg district in 1899. A substantive redesignation took place in 1923 in the wake of the democratisation of Schaumburg-Lippe. In the district ordinance, independent areas of responsibility of the district were defined, especially the promotion of agriculture, trade, commerce and public health and healthcare, welfare matters, child and youth care, the promotion of transport facilities and the establishment of their own economic ventures such as gas, electricity and water works, savings banks and settlement companies. Organs of the district were, from 1923 onward, the district council, district administrator and district committee. The district thus got parliamentary representation. The district council proposed the district administrator, who was appointed by the state government. The district committee, consisting of the district administrator and district members elected by the district council, was directly involved in the administration of the district functions.
