After the founding of Greater Hesse by Proclamation No. 2 of the American military government on September 19, 1945, Bergsträsser's term as head of government ended on October 12, 1945. He was succeeded by Karl Geiler as Prime Minister of Greater Hesse on October 14, 1945. The previous “German Government” in Darmstadt was renamed “Regional President of Hesse” on November 4, 1945, and finally “Regional President of Darmstadt” on January 21, 1946.  The People's State of Hesse and its areas on the right bank of the Rhine were thus merged into the new state as the administrative district of Darmstadt . Bergsträsser remained district president until 1948.[3]
