Sinzig-Remagen office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Office Sinzig-Remagen was from the 16th to 18th century, a sovereign office in the Duchy of Jülich based in Sinzig , a city in what is now the district Ahrweiler in the northern Rhineland-Palatinate .

history

The bailiff of the sovereign was responsible for maintaining public order, the administration of justice and the collection of taxes. While the lower jurisdiction was subordinate to the local lay judges chaired by the respective mayor , the high jurisdiction was incumbent on a district judge of the sovereign . The waiter was the official who was responsible for the administration of tax receipts.

With the occupation of the Rhineland by French troops in 1794 and the resulting reorganization, the Sinzig-Remagen office was dissolved. The canton of Remagen in the arrondissement of Bonn ( Rhein-Mosel-Département ) was created.
