History

Formation of the district

The Detmold has historically two main roots:

• The East Westphalian part (almost 80 % of the district area ) goes back to the earlier to the Prussian province of Westphalia belonging Regierungsbezirk Minden. This was in 1946 with the entire former province, together with the northern Rhineland in the newly founded state of North Rhine -Westphalia on.
• The area which today comprises approximately the Lippe district, formed until 1947 the country lip - as a separate German state of Prussia - and today is the third part of the country of North Rhine -Westphalia. The country was until 1918 the Principality, then Free State and therefore has a different historical and political tradition as Eastern Westphalia.

In the wake of the merger of North Rhine -Westphalia with lip on January 21, 1947, the summary of previous areas of the district of Minden with the territory of the country lip as well as the transfer of the government from Minden to Detmold was in the Lippe Punktationen agreed and completed on April 1. On June 2 of 1947, the first existing district name " Minden- lip " in " Detmold " has been changed.

Municipalities of the administrative district belonging to the Regional Association of Westphalia -Lippe with administrative headquarters in Münster. Moreover, due to the Lippischen Punktationen the country Lippe Lippe In part exists as a local association which also manages the assets of the former state of Lippe.

View

There are plans of the state government to repeal the government district in an administrative reform in 2012. The district governments will be three new regional councils (previously five district governments ) or three new tailored government districts, one of which Westphalia and Lippe to include based in Münster, replaced. Furthermore, the Regional Associations in North Rhine -Westphalia are to be resolved. The position of the part of the country lip, his state association and the administrative capital of Detmold, however, are controversial due to the agreements in the Lippe Punktationen.

Administrative divisions 1947-1968/74

Upon formation of the district of Detmold, the area comprised two urban districts, which means on the 1878 ( Bielefeld) and 1911 ( Herford ) back, accordingly two counties and ten other counties, on the 1953 the term " county" has been extended:

From April 1, 1947 to September 30, 1949, the two former Lippe enclaves Cappel Lipperode still belonged to the district of Detmold and thus were part of the administrative region, but were reclassified in the district of Lippstadt October 1, 1949.

Territorial reform 1969-1975

The local government reform in North Rhine -Westphalia resulted in the administrative region Detmold by merging two circles to a halving of the circle number, where some communities were divided other circuits. With the reform, there were exchanges of territory and border corrections with the districts of Arnsberg and Münster and the state of Lower Saxony. A side effect was which took place on October 1, 1969 replacing the designation district by district. In essence, the reform was in the government district in three steps:

• The largest part of the circle of Bielefeld is incorporated in the independent city of Bielefeld.
• The circles Detmold and Lemgo unite to form the new district of Lippe.
• The circles hall and Wiedenbrück unite to form the new district of Gütersloh.
• The circles Luebbecke and Minden unite to form the new district of Minden -Lübbecke.

• The circles Buren and Paderborn unite to form the new District of Paderborn.
• The circles Hoexter and Warburg unite to form the new county Hoexter.

This was valid until today, o reaches a cut of the administrative boundaries. The operations are not shown in detail for the purpose of clarity; see the links to the individual circles and laws.

In addition to the reorganization of the districts and the administrative structure at the local level has been restructured during this period. The twelve ( rural) counties were divided to 1968 in 648 kreisangehorige communities. Their number was reduced to 1975 by combining closures and amalgamations to 69.
