District office Dinslaken The district of Dinslaken was formed in 1816 from 7 mayor's offices Dinslaken, Duisburg, Gahlen, Götterswickerham, Holten, Ruhrort and Schermbeck. In 1823 he was united with the district of Essen to form the district of Duisburg. On this occasion the mayor's office Schermbeck was beaten to the district Rees. After the city of Duisburg left the district association in 1874, Mülheim an der Ruhr was designated a district town and the district was renamed "Kreis Mühlheim an der Ruhr". In 1887 the towns of Ruhrtort and Dinslaken as well as the district mayors of Dinslaken-Land, Beeck, Sterkrade, Meiderich, Götterswickerham, Gahlen and Duisburg-Land were branched off from the district of Mühleim as Ruhrort. After the cities Ruhrort and Meiderich had left the federation of the district Ruhrort to the city circle Duisburg by the law of 26th July 1905 the cities Ruhrort and Meiderich had left the federation of the district Ruhrort to the city circle Duisburg, the district administrator seat was shifted on 1st April 1909 from Duisburg Ruhrort to Dinslaken and the circle the designation "circle Dinslaken" was given. On May 1, 1911, the city of Hamborn was removed from the district association as a city district, and on July 1, 1917, the city of Sterkrade was removed as well. The district of Dinslaken and the districts with which it was united from 1823 to 1909 were administered by the following district councillors: Term of office, councillors, county - 1816-1823, von Buggenhagen, Dinslaken - 1823-1828, von Buggenhagen, Duisburg - 1829-1846, Devens, Duisburg - 1847-1848, Hammer (by order), Duisburg - 1848-1849, Dittmer (by order), Duisburg - 1849-1850, von Armin, Duisburg - 1850-1851, Dittmer, Duisburg - 1851-1870, Kessler, Duisburg - 1870-1874, von Rosenberg-Gruszcynski, Duisburg - 1874-1879, von Rosenberg-Gruszcynski, Mühleim - 1879-1887, Haniel, Mühlheim - 1887-1899, Hammacher, Ruhrort - 1900-1906, Kötter, Ruhrort - 1907-1916, Dr. von Wülfing, Ruhrort/Dinslaken - 1920-1930, Schluchtmann, Dinslaken - 1931-1932, von Nathusius, Dinslaken - 1932-1933, Dr. Klein, Dinslaken - 1933-1945, von Werder, Dinslaken The files of the Landratsamt were taken over by the Düsseldorf State Archives on 13 June 1939 (see Service Register A 4a Vol. XI, p.264).). The fire on 7 April 1909 in the newly furnished Landrats building, which had been completed for inauguration, meant that only a small remnant of the existing files was preserved. The files concerning industry in the district of Dinslaken are completely destroyed. The focus of the preserved files is on agriculture. - In accordance with the administrative history of the district, the holdings of the Duisburg-Mülheim District Office should be used for the period prior to its reestablishment in 1909, in which certain remains of the first district administration of Dinslaken (1816-1823) can also be found as previous files. The present collection was newly recorded in the spring of 1961 by Adrian, a candidate for an archive inspector, and written by Mrs. Pumierski.
