Office of Norf

The Norf office , which was the mayor's office of Norf until 1927 , was an administrative unit that belonged to the Grevenbroich district in the Rhine Province (1816 to 1945) and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (1946 to 1974) until 1974.

history

Until the end of the 18th century, the administrative area of the later Prussian or North Rhine-Westphalian office of Norf belonged to the Electoral Cologne office of Hülchrath . After the reorganization of the administration of the Left Bank of the Rhine during the so-called French era , Norf and Rosellen belonged to the canton of Neuss in the Rur department from 1798 to 1814 . In 1815 the region became part of the Kingdom of Prussia due to the agreements at the Congress of Vienna . The two Prussian Rhenish provinces (combined as the Rhine Province in 1822 ) were divided into administrative districts , districts and mayor's offices in 1816 . The newly appointed "mayor Norf" (then "Norff" written) a 'rural was initially Sammtgemeinde "which of the two" special domestic churches " Norf and Rosellen was and county Neuss in the administrative district of Dusseldorf belonged. The mayor was supported by a “mayor's council”.

After the First World War, parts of the mayor's office were occupied by French troops. In 1927 the mayor's office was renamed to Amt Norf . In 1929 the communities of Grimlinghausen and Uedesheim were incorporated into the city of Neuss. The village of Stüttgen came to the municipality of Norf. This gave it direct access to the Rhine . In 1930, the Norf office was able to fend off a forced merger with the Nievenheim office.

In 1974 the plan failed to create a new community from the communities of Norf, Rosellen, Gohr , Nievenheim and the Neuss-Erfttal district. In 1975 the Norf office was dissolved and incorporated into the city of Neuss.

economy

In the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the later office of Norf was predominantly agricultural. In Grimlinghausen a small branch was devoted to fishing. With the construction of a railway line from Cologne via Neuss to Krefeld, Norf received a train station in 1856. This accelerated the settlement of the first commercial and industrial company, a sauerkraut factory, in Norf. After 1945, large companies were also established in the area of the Norf office. So the companies Vereinigte Aluminumwerke Rheinwerk - which started smelting aluminum in 1962 - and Alu Norf settle there . As a result, the number of industrial employees rose sharply in the following years. In 1961 fewer than 74 people were employed in industry; in 1974 there were more than 3,000 people.

Agriculture

In 1816 the communities of Norf and Rosellen had the following livestock:

Foals: 7
Horses: 102
Bulls: 4
Ox: 33
Cows: 300
Young cattle (cattle): 90
Sheep: 400
Goats: 25
Pigs: 130

From 1840 new arable land was created through the amelioration of the Norfbach. In the 20th century, Norfer white cabbage gained a wide market. In 1945 there were 45 farms in the Norf district. In 1960 the number fell to 25 and in 1974 there were still 16 farms, three of which were farms in Norf.
