The administrative district of Montabaur was one of five administrative districts into which the state of Rhineland-Palatinate , which was newly formed in 1946, was divided until 1968. The others were the administrative districts of Rheinhessen (seat in Mainz ) and Pfalz (seat in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse ), also newly established in 1946, as well as the administrative districts of Koblenz and Trier established by Prussia in 1816 .
history
The Wiesbaden administrative district , formed in 1866 and part of the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau , was divided by the occupying powers after the Second World War by a zone boundary. The main part of the administrative district was in the American zone of occupation and in 1945 became part of the state of Hesse . The administrative district of Montabaur had to be created for the smaller north-western part in the French occupation zone and in 1946 became part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
On October 1, 1968, the Montabaur administrative region was dissolved and incorporated into the Koblenz administrative region . Its area largely corresponds to today's districts of Rhein-Lahn-Kreis and Westerwaldkreis .
Former administrative division
The administrative region of Montabaur comprised the districts of Oberwesterwaldkreis ( Westerburg ), Loreleykreis ( Sankt Goarshausen ), Unterlahnkreis ( Diez ) and Unterwesterwaldkreis ( Montabaur ).
