- Archival history:
- After the dissolution of the district of Duderstadt in 1972 and its union with the district of Göttingen, the files of the district of Duderstadt came to Varmissen (town of Dransfeld). In October 1979, the material was brought into the District Archives of Göttingen. 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 also the holdings of the district of Duderstadt were transferred to Osterode.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The district of Duderstadt was created on 1 April 1885 from the Office ("Amt") Gieboldehausen and the town of Duderstadt. The two administrative units taken over from the time of the Kingdom of Hanover and maintained by Prussia for almost twenty years included the areas of the city of Duderstadt, the municipalities of Gieboldehausen and Lindau, and a few villages. The area's status remained almost unchanged during the time of the District Office until the dissolution of the district. 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.
