- Administrative/biographical history:
- In 1823, six intermediate administrative authorities, known as Landdrosteien, were established in the kingdom of Hannover, which had fewer powers than the recently established Prussian (district) governments; in particular, they did not cover the finance, clerical and educational sectors. It was not until 19 years after the annexation of Hannover by Prussia, on 1 July 1885, that the middle administrative level was reorganised according to the Prussian system. The Hildesheim district, when it was established in 1885, consisted mainly of the historic territories of Hildesheim, Grubenhagen and Göttingen, the Hannover part of the Harz, as well as the Untereichsfeld and thus comprised 5,321 square kilometres. There were major territorial changes in 1932, when the district of Ilfeld had to be ceded to the province of Saxony, and in 1941, when the urban and rural district of Goslar and parts of the district of Marienburg came to the state of Braunschweig, from which Hildesheim in return received the district of Holzminden as well as parts of the district of Gandersheim. As a result of an ordinance dating from 1932, the authority was renamed "chief administrative officer" ("Regierungspräsident").
