Mayor's office in Oberpleis

The Oberpleis mayor's office was initially one of nine Prussian mayor's offices in which the Siegburg district, formed in 1816 (Siegkreis from 1825) in the Cologne administrative district, was administratively divided. In 1822 the district of Siegburg and with it the mayor's office of Oberpleis came to the then newly formed Rhine province . The administration of the mayor's office was subordinate to nine, after a community reform in 1845/1846 two communities.

In 1927, the Oberpleis mayor's office was renamed Amt Oberpleis and this was dissolved in 1969 as part of the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area.

history

The administrative area of the Oberpleis mayor's office was part of the Blankenberg office in the Duchy of Berg until the beginning of the 19th century , which opened in 1806 in connection with the formation of the Rhine Confederation in the Grand Duchy of Berg . With the introduction of the municipal constitution by the "Provincial and Municipal Administrative Regulations for the Grand Duchy of Berg" on December 18, 1808, the Mairie Oberpleis was formed by the French administration under Napoléon Bonaparte . The Mairie belonged to the canton of Hennef , arrondissement Mülheim in the department of Rhine . During the provisional administration in the Generalgouvernement Berg , the Mairie was called "Mayor's Office" from December 1813.

Based on the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Rhineland was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, provinces , administrative districts and districts were formed in 1816 , the administrative structures at the level of the mayor's offices (called "Mairien" until 1813) were initially retained. The Oberpleis mayor's office belonged to the Siegburg district (from 1825 "Siegkreis") in the Cöln administrative district , Jülich-Kleve-Berg province . In 1822 the administrative district of Cologne and with it the Oberpleis mayor's office came to the then newly formed Rhine province . With the enactment of a municipal code for the Rhine Province in 1845, the municipalities administered by the mayor's office were legally recognized as local authorities with their own head and council . At the same time, the initially nine municipalities, which were referred to as “tax municipalities”, were merged to form the two municipalities of Oberpleis and Stieldorf. Belonging to the dissolved communities Berghausen, Birlinghoven, rabbits Pohl, Oberhau, Oelinghoven, Rauschendorf, Vinxel and election field districts exist today.

Like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province, the Oberpleis mayor's office was renamed "Amt Oberpleis" in 1927.

As part of the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area , the Oberpleis office and the municipalities belonging to the office were dissolved on August 1, 1969 . Substantial parts of the Birlinghoven district became the new municipality of Sankt Augustin , part of the Vinxel district (with the towns of Hoholz and Ungarten ) became the city of Bonn ( Beuel district ) and all other districts of the Oberpleis and Stieldorf communities became the new, non-governmental municipality "City of Königswinter " assigned in the (new) Rhein-Sieg district .
