History

The Office was established in 13-14. Century as an administrative district of the castle fief Tønder in the Duchy of Schleswig. Until then, the north-east of the office had heard with the Hoyer, Schlux and Karrharde to previous administrative unit of the Ellumsyssel, while the south-west with the Boeking and Wiedingharde and the landscapes of Sylt and Easter Agriculture Foehr had been part of the North Frisian Utlande. Only Tønder was already in the medieval town and the undisputed center of the office, although itself not formally belonged to this. The Castle as the seat of the official administration was then outside the city.

In the course of the country divisions of Schleswig Holstein and the Office Tønder 1544 first came to Hans the Elder and belonged from 1581 to 1713 to the Duchy of Schleswig -Holstein - Gottorp. After that it was up to 1864/67 royal office in the Duchy. 1864 were incorporated into the existing office enclaves of the Kingdom of Denmark with Amrum, Westerland Foehr, List, the Birk Ballum, the Loharde with Troiburg and Birk Møgeltønder.

1867, the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein came as a province of Schleswig -Holstein to Prussia. The area of the Office came to the circle Tønder, as well as the island of Romo, whose southern part had heard up to that office to Birk Ballum and the northern part of Haderslev. Also the Løgumkloster office, which had already since 1850 the same office as the man Tønder Office, was annexed to the county Tønder.

1920, the northern areas of the district including the district town, were assigned on the basis of the referendum, which was provided for in the Treaty of Versailles of Denmark. As was agreed in the northern zone 1, which included the whole of modern North Schleswig, as a whole, the future state border was practically already fixed before the vote on February 10, 1920. So close to the border communities came with Clear German majorities as the city Tønder, the spots Højer or Ubjerg and Tinglev as well as numerous municipalities in Denmark with nearly perfect results. South of the border was voted on March 14, 1920 communally. Danish majorities existed only in the Föhrer rural communities Utersum, Hedehusum and Witsum, but remained as well as the surrounding areas in Germany.

The remaining areas in Germany continued to form a circle, the circle in South Tønder (later Südtondern ) renamed itself. County seat was the rural municipality Niebüll, the first received city rights in 1960. Due to the local government reform of 1970, the county Südtondern without the Office Medelby was ( came to the circle Flensburg- country) with the circles eiderstedt and Husum united for the district of North Friesland.

The northern part of the county Tønder Tønder remained as official made ​​and received by the county Hadersleben the parishes of Hviding Herred (German Hvidingharde ). 1970 went to the office in the South Jutland office. The Tønder municipality formed in 2007 includes a similarly large area, albeit with some distinctive boundary changes.
