- Archival history:
- The archival material of the administration of the district committee Duderstadt was, with very few exceptions, held by the administration of the district of Duderstadt until its dissolution in 1972. In 1974 it was transferred together with the archives of the district office Duderstadt to the District Archives in Göttingen. This was followed by various moves of the material, preliminary edits and in 1991 the electronic registration with SACHAV and WORKS. After the last district reform, which led to the merger of the districts of Göttingen and Osterode in 2016, the Göttingen District Archives and thus the collection of the District Committee Duderstadt was transferred to Osterode.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- On 6 May 1884 a new district system came into force in the province of Hannover, in which the function of the district committee was stipulated, namely that it had to act as a district municipal administration as well as a general state administration. The district committee was the first instance of the administrative court. Under National Socialism in 1933, the tasks of the district council were transferred to the district committee, which in turn gave its decision power in 1939 to the district administrator. Under British occupation from February 1946, the previous district office administration was transferred to the counties as organs of local self-government. Administrative and political competences were separated according to the British pattern. In 1972, the former districts of Hannoversch Münden and Duderstadt joined the district of Göttingen. In 2016 the districts of Göttingen and Osterode am Harz were merged.
