history

Jülich district on a map from 1905

The Jülich district was created after the Left Bank of the Rhine fell to Prussia in 1815 following the Congress of Vienna . It was constituted on April 24, 1816 under District Administrator Johann Karl von Bülow and initially belonged to the Province of the Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine and from 1822 to the Rhine Province . The Jülich district was initially divided into the 19 mayor offices of Aldenhoven, Barmen, Coslar, Dürwiß, Ederen, Frey-Aldenhoven, Hambach, Hottorf, Inden, Jülich, Kirchberg, Linnich, Rödingen, Roerdorf, Setterich, Siersdorf, Steinstraß, Titz and Welz. With the introduction of the municipal code for the Rhine Province in 1845, most of the mayor's offices in the district were divided into several municipalities . Linnich received the Rhenish Town Council in 1864 and Jülich in 1867 . In addition, in the course of the 19th century, the mayor's offices in Setterich and Steinstrasse were abolished and the mayor's offices in Mersch were newly established. Since then there have been two towns and 47 other municipalities in the Jülich district on an area of ​​318 km²:

The municipality of Selgersdorf was incorporated into the city of Jülich in 1916. As in the entire Rhine Province, the mayorships of the district have been designated as offices since January 1, 1928 . The community of Schaufenberg left the Jülich district in 1932 and was incorporated into Alsdorf in the Aachen district . On January 1, 1935, the Setterich community moved from the Jülich district to the Geilenkirchen-Heinsberg district . On April 1, 1936, the Körrenzig office with the three municipalities of Körrenzig , Gevenich and Glimbach changed from the Erkelenz district to the Jülich district. At the same time, three of the smaller communities in the Jülich district lost their independence:

  • Hompesch was incorporated into the community of Müntz.
  • Krauthausen was incorporated into the city of Jülich.
  • Ralshoven was incorporated into the community of Gevelsdorf.

Roerdorf was officially called Rurdorf since 1938 . After the Second World War, the Jülich district had belonged to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia since 1946. For a large part of the time after the Second World War, Wilhelm Johnen was the district administrator. The office structure was gradually simplified so that in 1968 the district still had seven offices. As part of the regional reform in North Rhine-Westphalia, the law on the reorganization of municipalities in the Jülich district came into force on July 1st :

  • Boslar, Ederen, Gereonsweiler, Gevenich, Glimbach, Hottorf, Körrenzig, Rurdorf, Tetz and Welz were incorporated into the town of Linnich.
  • Langweiler and Niedermerz were merged into a new, larger municipality of Niedermerz.
  • Gevelsdorf, Hasselsweiler, Müntz and Titz were merged into a new, larger municipality of Titz.
  • Güsten and Welldorf were merged to form a new, larger community of Welldorf.
  • The Linnich office was dissolved.

On October 1, 1969, the district became the Jülich district . On January 1, 1972, the Aachen Act amalgamated further municipalities and the district, to which 31 cities and municipalities last belonged, was dissolved:

  • Bettendorf was incorporated into the city of Alsdorf in the Aachen district.
  • Dürwiß, Laurenzberg and Lohn were incorporated into the city of Eschweiler in the Aachen district.
  • Altdorf and Inden merged into the new, larger municipality of Inden.
  • Niederzier, Hambach and Steinstrasse were merged into the new, larger municipality of Niederzier. In addition, the former municipality of Krauthausen was changed from the city of Jülich to the municipality of Niederzier.
  • Kirchberg, Barmen, Bourheim, Broich, Koslar, Merzenhausen, Mersch, Pattern bei Mersch, Stetternich and Welldorf were incorporated into the city of Jülich.
  • Aldenhoven, Dürboslar, Freialdenhoven, Niedermerz, Siersdorf, Schleiden, Pattern bei Aldenhoven and Engelsdorf were merged into a new, larger municipality of Aldenhoven.
  • Floßdorf was incorporated into the city of Linnich.
  • Titz and Rödingen were merged into a new, larger municipality of Titz.
  • The Jülich district and its offices in Aldenhoven, Dürwiß, Inden, Koslar, Stetternich and Titz were dissolved
  • Aldenhoven, Inden, Jülich, Linnich, Niederzier and Titz became part of the new district of Düren and have since formed its northern part (approximately north of the federal highway 4 with the exception of the municipality of Niederzier).
