Monheim Office
The Monheim office belonged to the Altbergic offices of the Duchy of Berg and was the court and administrative seat for the Freedom Monheim and the associated localities of Hitdorf , Rheindorf , Reusrath , Richrath , Himmelgeist , Bilk , Wersten , Itter and Hamm .
In 1666 Richrath resigned from the Monheim office and became an independent rulership with its own jurisdiction, hunting rights, tax and usage rights.
After Napoleon founded the Grand Duchy of Berg in 1806, the Monheim office was dissolved after almost 550 years of existence.
