Dear List,
Does the following paragraph indicate that the areas of Salzgitter, Piene and Braunsweig were once part of Hildesheim?
Mit der hannoverschen Verwaltungsreform von 1823 wurde Hildesheim das Zentrum eines Landdrostei-, sp�ter Regierungsbezirks, der das ganze s�dliche Niedersachsen umschloss. Der intensive Ackerbau der Region erm�glichte eine recht hohe Bev�lkerungsdichte. Im Raum Peine-Salzgitter, in dem fr�her hildesheimische und braunschweigische Landesteile ineinander griffen, entstand seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts mit der Ilseder H�tter, sp�ter der Reichswerke Hermann G�ring (heute Salzgitter AG) eine wichtige Industrieregion. Gerade der Kreis Peine musste allerdings 1974 an den Verwaltungsbezirk Braunschweig abgetreten werden. Dies war nur der Auftakt zu einer v�lligen Neuordnung. 1978 wurde der Regierungsbezirk Hildesheim aufgel�st. Die Gebiete des ehemaligen Hochstifts verteilen sich heute auf die Landkreise Hildesheim, Peine, Goslar und die Stadt Salzgitter.

Dear Barbie,
the paragraph below means that in 1823 Hildesheim became the capital of a governmental district (Regierungsbezirk). Peine and Salzgitter were part of it. Braunschweig not. In 1974 Peine became part of the governmental district Braunschweig. In 1978 the governmental district Hildesheim was dissolved.
In 2005 all governmental ditricts in Lower Saxony were dissolved. All tasks, which were done by the governmental districts before, moved (up) to the state of Lower Saxony or (down) to the counties.
I hope, this helps a little bit.
Kindly regards from Langenhagen, Germany,

Dear Bj�rn,
Very helpful. Thank you.
If I were born circa 1825 migrated circa 1840-1860 to America...
If....
Barbecke, Gro� Lafferde, or Sohlde my actual birthplace...
Would it also be logical to say I was from Hildesheim?

Hi Barbie -Lew
as Björn Sassenberg wrote Hildesheim is and was a town and at the same time the capital of the governmental distikt (Regierungsbezirk) Hildesheim.
In 1840 Barbecke, Groß Lafferde and Söhlde were small villages about 25 - 35 km east of the town of Hildesheim and within the governmental distikt of Hildesheim.
Under "I was from Hildesheim" I would understand I was born in the town of Hildesheim and not in Barbecke near Hildesheim.

Hello Barbie,
the "Hochstift Hildesheim" became 1813 part of the Kingdom of Hannover, and this way also Gross Lafferde and Soehlde. At that time they belonged to the Landdrostei later Regierungsbezirk Hildesheim and to the Lutheran church of Hannover (Ev.-Luth. Landeskirche Hannovers).
But Barbecke always belongs to the Herzogtum (duchy) Braunschweig. It was never part of Hildesheim and belongs to the Ev.-Luth. Landeskirche Braunschweig.
Kindly regards and best wishes
