history

Kurmainz

Eltville was the core area of ​​Kurmainz. At the end of the Middle Ages, an official structure also developed in Eltville. At the end of the HRR , the office included Eltville, Erbach, Frauenstein, Hallgarten, Hattenheim, Kiedrich, Mittenheim, Neudorf, Niederglattbach, Nieder-Walluf, Oberglattbach, Oberwalluf, Oestrich and Rauenthal. The office was subordinate to the Vizedom in the Rheingau .

Nassau

1803 was dissolved with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss Kurmainz and the office Eltville came to Nassau-Usingen and 1806 to the Duchy of Nassau .

The Office Eltville, based in Eltville am Rhein, was one of 28 offices in the Duchy of Nassau, which was newly formed on July 1, 1816 as part of a reorganization of the Nassau administration. At the head of the Office of the Duke stood as a local governor a bailiff . The Office was responsible for both administration and jurisdiction in the first instance.

The following 11 localities belonged to the Eltville district:

In 1820 the office comprised 2,118 families and 9,714 residents. 173 of them were Protestant, 9,435 Catholic, 13 Mennonites and 93 Jews.

From 1831 the office also assumed the function of a Rhine customs court.

After the March Revolution in 1848, the administration was reorganized. By law of April 4, 1849, administration and jurisdiction were separated at a lower level in Nassau. The reform came into effect on July 1, 1849. 10 district offices were established for administration , the offices continued as judicial offices (i.e. courts of first instance). The administrative tasks of the Eltville office were carried out by the Rüdesheim district office , the jurisdiction of the Eltville justice office. However, the reform was reversed on October 1, 1854, the districts abolished and the previous offices restored.

Prussia

With the annexation of Nassau by Prussia , the offices in their old form were also dissolved and replaced by circles. In 1867 , the Eltville Office, together with the Rüdesheim Office , the St. Goarshausen Office and the Braubach Office, formed the Rheingau district . Only as part of this reorganization will administration and jurisdiction be separated. For the jurisdiction in the first instance, which was previously carried out by the office, the judicial officials in the offices were initially responsible and the district court of Eltville was formed on September 1, 1867 .

But even after the founding of the district, the previous office structure will be retained. The Royal Ordinance of February 22, 1867 regulated: "The administrative districts as narrower administrative districts exist in their previous limits" The former offices form the three districts of the district. According to § 13 of the district constitution, the districts sent the former offices six representatives to the new district council . The bailiff was in charge of the local police and the district administrator.

With the administrative reform of 1885/1886 the offices were finally dissolved.
