Mayor's Office (Kingdom of Bavaria)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The mayor's office in the Palatinate in the Kingdom of Bavaria was a municipality with its own mayor or an amalgamation of (smaller) municipalities under a common mayor. An expansion to other parts of Bavaria was not successful.

history

During the French period , the French administrative organization was introduced on the Left Bank of the Rhine . Below the cantons , Mairieen was the smallest administrative unit headed by a mayor. A mairie comprised a single community or a plurality of (small) communities that were too small to be administered independently. In 1815 the Palatinate became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Bavaria kept the community organization and renamed the Mairie the mayor's office.

With the Palatinate municipal code of July 1, 1869, the organizational principle of the mayor's offices was confirmed. At the same time it was made possible to form mayor's offices in other parts of Bavaria. However, this did not happen to any significant extent.

After the Second World War , the Palatinate became part of Rhineland-Palatinate . There the mayor's offices existed in Rhineland-Palatinate until the regional reform in 1968/70 and were then replaced by the municipalities .
