- Administrative/biographical history:
- As a result of the district administrative order, the local authorities were given limited self-government in certain police matters as well as in municipal, school, health and settlement matters. Organs were the district council as a legislative branch and the six-member district committee as an executive. The district committee was also a decision-making committee and administrative court of first instance. Through the law dated 6 May 1884 (effective 1 April 1885) the district administrative order took effect as of 1 July 1885, the State Administrative Law dated 30 July 1883 and the Act on the Jurisdiction of the Administrative and Administrative Court Authorities. From the previous administrative districts of Bersenbrück, Fürstenau and Vörden as well as the city of Quakenbrück, the administrative district of Bersenbrück was created. At the head of the district administration was the district administrator, who was appointed by proposal of the king. As an organ of the state government, he carried out the business of the general state administration and the local police administration. As chairman of the district council and the district committee, he also headed the local government of the district. The district council represented the municipal association and was to advise and decide on the subjects transferred to it by law or ordinance. These included, for example, determination of the budget, establishment of principles for the administration of the basic and capital assets of the district, decision on the establishment of district offices and the number and salary of district officials, expert functions in matters that the state authorities had transferred to it. The district council consisted of at least 20 members, who were elected by the eligible residents of the district in the three electoral associations of large landowners, rural communities and cities.
