- 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 thus a decision-making committee and administrative court of first instance. The former administrative district (Amt) of Grönenberg in Melle was replaced, effective 1 April 1885 by the administrative district (Landkreis) of Melle. It included the joint municipalities of Melle-Bakum, Riemsloh-Hoyel, Buer, Gesmold, Oldendorf and Neuenkirchen as well as the estate districts of Bruche, Gesmold and Ostenwalde. Between 1943 and 1945, the administrative district of Melle was temporarily united with the administrative district of Wittlage. At the head of the district administration was the district administrator. He was appointed by the state and chaired the district council and district committee, the organs of self-government. The district council represented the municipal association. It had 20 members and met at least twice a year. It was responsible for determining the district budget, issuing district statutes and establishing administrative principles. In addition to the district governor, the district committee was composed of six members, who were elected by the district council and served on an honorary basis. Its tasks included settlement matters, road construction, cultural and welfare institutions (hospitals). In addition, the district committee was the administrative court first instance. Apart from the changes made to the electoral law of the district council after the First World War, this district administrative order continued until after 1945.
