- Archival history:
- The administrative district of Wöltingerode was formed on 24 May 1831 by the merger of administrative districts of Vienenburg and Schladen and thus comprised the eastern third of the district of Goslar, which was established in 1885. In the course of the incorporation of the former principality of Hildesheim into the kingdom of Hannover after the disappearance of the kingdom of Westphalia, the administrative district of Wiedelah was incorporated into the administrative district of Vienenburg on 22 April 1815. The administrative district of Wiedelah extended in the west as far as Immenrode and in the north to Wehre. The administrative district of Vienenburg used to include the towns of Vienenburg and Lochtum. In 1852, in the course of the administrative reform, the village of Neuenkirchen of Wöltingerode was handed over to the administrative district of Liebenburg. It is therefore important for the use of the present collection to keep in mind that in all "Generalia" of the administrative district of Vienenburg 1815-1831 the corresponding parts could also be found in files concerning the administrative district of Wiedelah. The former Liebenburg privilege in Dorstadt and Heiningen had also been acquired by the administrative district of Schladen in 1815, so that it now covered the whole area between Oderwald and Oker from Schladen to the Braunschweig border. At that time, however, Ohlendorf came to the Liebenburg administrative district for good.
