Arrondissement d'Aix-la-Chapelle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Department de la Roer

The Arrondissement d'Aix-la-Chapelle , in German District Aachen , was one of four arrondissements of the former Département de la Roer in the Rhineland at the time of the French occupation . Its main town (French chef-lieu ) was Aachen (French Aix-la-Chapelle ).

It existed from 1798 to 1814 and formed the western part of the department named after the Rur . On June 30, 1802, a decree passed the introduction of the French constitution in the Rhenish departments on September 22, 1802. Thus the Arrondissement d'Aix-la-Chapelle was legally fully equated with the Arrondissements in the French heartland.

When the area came to Prussia in 1815 , the newly formed administrative district of Aachen essentially covered this former arrondissement geographically. It consisted of 126 mairies in 11 cantons and with around 185,000 inhabitants was the largest arrondissement of the department.
