Office Angermund

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office of Angermund had been an administrative and judicial district in the historical territory of the Duchy of Berg since the 14th century . After the end of the Napoleonic Grand Duchy of Berg , it existed as part of the Prussian Rhine Province until 1928. On January 1, 1929, the Angerland Office, which existed until the end of 1974, became its legal successor .

geography

The Bergisch Amt Angermund largely corresponded to the area around the Angerbach , a 35.8 km long tributary to the Lower Rhine on the right bank of the Rhine . In the north, the Angermund office was bounded by the city of Duisburg , in the northwest by the city of Uerdingen , in the east by the Reichsabtei Werden with Kettwig an der Ruhr and in the south by the city of Düsseldorf .

history

Angermund Castle from the 13th century is located at the southern end of the old town center of Düsseldorf-Angermund . It was next to Haus Angerort one of the northernmost bastions of the Counts of Berg and the seat of the bailiff at Angermund. This northern area, located south of the Ruhr, belonged to the sphere of influence of the Counts of Berg from around 1212. The oldest documented tradition for a castle from 1188 calls it Castrum Angermunt et curiam . As the first official representative of the count, at that time still referred to as "officialis", a knight Zobbo 1303 can be proven. The term "amptmann" was used in documents from around 1350 onwards. The Angermund office is one of the eight old Bergisch offices that were listed in a document dated September 6, 1363. In 1423 at the latest, the place near the castle had developed into the Freedom Angermund.

Around 1500 the bailiff in Angermund established the villages of Angermund, Wittlaer , Kalkum , Bockum (near Wittlaer) , Kaiserswerth , Rath , the areas of today's Duisburg city and districts Mündelheim , Hüttenheim , Ungelsheim , Serm , Ehingen , Huckingen , Buchholz , Wedau , Bissingheim , Großenbaum , Rahm and the localities of Velbert , Heiligenhaus , Lintorf and smaller southern parts of today's city of Mülheim an der Ruhr . Ratingen was in the area of ​​the office, but had autonomous city rights. The parts of the Niederberg territory belonged to the Landsberg (sub) office , which was mostly co-administered by the Angermund office.

The court responsible for the Angermund office was in Kreuzberg, a town near Kaiserswerth (completely lost in the War of the Spanish Succession around 1700) . It was one of the most important courts in the county of Berg, which is mentioned as early as the 12th century as a count's court presided over by a princely bailiff.

As an official of the sovereign, the bailiff von Angermund was also chairman of the jury's court in Düsseldorf and bailiff of Düsseldorf until a mayor was appointed chairman of the court in Düsseldorf from around 1335 onwards. In 1371, Count Wilhelm von Berg dissolved Düsseldorf completely from the association of the Kreuzberg Regional Court and gave Düsseldorf full jurisdiction.

At the end of the 18th century the office was divided into the following units:

In 1806, the Duchy of Berg came to Napoleon under an exchange contract with the Bavarian King Maximilian I Joseph , who appointed his brother-in-law Joachim Murat as regent. With the introduction of the French administrative structures in the Grand Duchy of Berg (1808), the Angermund office was dissolved and assigned to the canton of Ratingen .

After the end of Napoleonic rule, the office of Angermund in the Kingdom of Prussia and later in the Free State of Prussia continued as mayor until it was finally dissolved on December 31, 1928 as part of a major regional reform . The legal successor on January 1st was the new Amt Angerland .

The area of ​​the historical office Angermund today belongs to the cities of Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Mülheim, Essen and the Mettmann district .
