History

After the withdrawal of the French troops in 1813 and the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the present district became part of the Prussian province of Westphalia. 1816 was the administrative divisions in the districts Coesfeld and Luedinghausen in the governmental district of Münster. First District Administrator of Coesfeld was Clemens Maria Franz von Bonninghausen, the district administration office was his private house, the house Darup to Darup.

1832 Havixbeck was reclassified from Coesfeld in the district of Münster. The circle was divided until 1843 into the eight mayors Billerbeck, Buldern, Coesfeld, Dülmen, Gescher, holders, Osterwick and Rorup. The first circle constitutional law was the district regulations from the year 1827. Were given the counties, however, no real self-government. The sized circuit days had only an advisory role.

With the introduction of rural community - Regulations for the Province of Westphalia, the mayors were converted into offices in 1843 and 1844. The circle was then divided into the following departments and towns:

The cities Coesfeld, Dülmen and holders remained amt free.

With the district regulations of 1886, then came the self-administration, the administrative body was the county committee. 1933, the government decision jurisdiction of the district committee was awarded the land councils under the National Socialist dictatorship. The district committee had only a consultative role, although the district regulations of 1886 still applied until the end of World War II.

Beginning in 1945, the British military government was responsible for the development of local self-government laws to April 1, 1946 new rules with partially fundamental changes went into effect. Instead of the chief administrative officer of the Chief Administrative Officer, headed the administration as a municipal official. The District Administrator as Chairman of the County Council stood by him voluntarily.

The introduced after formation of the State of North Rhine -Westphalia breakdown of counties in offices and office belonging to communities as well as office -free communities was maintained up to municipal restructuring. The 1816 formed counties Coesfeld and Luedinghausen had to municipal reorganization in 1975 largely stock. Only the community Havixbeck was submitted in 1832 to the county and the city of Münster and the office holders in 1929 the district of Recklinghausen.

The municipal reorganization itself was carried out from 1967 to 1975 in two steps. First, the community areas and their boundaries were redefined, then the circles with effect 1 January 1975 newly formed. The circle Luedinghausen was thereby dissolved on 31 December 1974 and substantially added to the Coesfeld. In addition, the communities Nottuln with Appelhülsen and Schapdetten and Havixbeck were Hohenholte and Bösensell (formerly Office Roxel ) from the former county of Münster added to the Coesfeld. At the same time Coesfeld gave the city Gescher to the new district of Borken.

With the change of district regulations in May 1994 were more significant changes for the circles in force. The introduced since the end of World War II " dual leadership " was abolished. Since then, the district or the district administrator presides over the meetings of council and district committee representing the circle and are head of the district administration. He is elected / she directly by citizens and citizen of the circle. In addition, there is a council appointed by the general representative.
