Administrative history

Mairie Adendorf (1798-1815)

Adendorf Castle

In October 1794, the French revolutionary troops conquered the areas on the left bank of the Rhine and introduced the French administrative structures there in 1798. The localities Adendorf , Groß-Altendorf , Arzdorf , Ersdorf , Fritzdorf , Lüftelberg , Meckenheim and Merl were combined to form Mairie Adendorf. The Mairie belonged to the canton Rheinbach in the arrondissement de Bonn in the Rhine-Mosel-Département . Up to now, the eight localities were “economically and historically ever connected”.

Adendorf was previously a direct imperial rule of the House of von der Leyen , which was last led by Philipp von der Leyen (1766-1829). The rulership included the place Adendorf with the castle Adendorf , the Grimmersdorferhof, Klein-Villip and the castle Münchhausen as well as Arzdorf and Eckendorf . Altendorf, Ersdorf and Fritzdorf were part of the County of Neuenahr in the Duchy of Jülich . Meckenheim had city ​​rights until the formation of Mairie Adendorf and belonged to the Electorate of Cologne .

In 1805, the owner of Lüftelberg Castle , Max Friedrich Lombeck, became Maire . He was a cousin of the later Maire von Villip , Maximilian Friedrich von Vorst – Lombeck, named Gudenau after the castle Gudenau . Max Friedrich Lombeck was followed by Franz Kaufmann as Maire von Adendorf from 1809 to 1814. Kaufmann also worked for the Rheinische Merkur published by Joseph Görres from 1814 to 1816 in Koblenz .

Mayor's office Adendorf (1816–1927)

In order to maintain orderly administrative activity after the French troops had been pushed back from the areas on the left bank of the Rhine, the Prussian Governor General Justus Gruner decided on February 25, 1814 to leave the French administrative structure in place for the time being. Only the French official titles were translated into German in a binding manner. So the mayor was now called mayor. On the basis of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna (1815), the Rhine-Moselle department and with it the mayor's office of Adendorf was added to the Kingdom of Prussia . The administrative area was identical to that of Mairie Adendorf and belonged to the Rheinbach district, which emerged from the French canton of Rheinbach. The cantons in the Rhine-Moselle department were temporarily part of the Prussian province of the Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine , from which the province of Kleve Berg and Jülich-Kleve-Berg emerged in 1815 and the Rhine province in 1822 . The central instance was the administrative district of Cologne, which began work on April 22, 1816.

The administrative business of the mayor's office, with the exception of a short initial period, was carried out from Meckenheim. Mayors of the office were u. a. Andreas Wachendorf (around 1815), the landowner Johann Josef Wülfing from Meckenheim (1815–1833), Christian Thiesen (until 1883) and Christian Hartstein (1883–1917). During Christian Hartstein's long term of office, the town hall in Meckenheim was built in 1892 .

Office Adendorf (1927–1934)

At the end of 1927, according to the law regulating various points of municipal constitutional law, all rural mayor's offices in the Rhine Province were renamed into offices. The Adendorf mayor's office became the Adendorf office. The rural community of Meckenheim became the rural community of Meckenheim in 1929. On October 1, 1932, the Rheinbach district was dissolved and the Adendorf municipalities became part of the Bonn district.

Meckenheim Office (1935–1969)

In 1935 the Adendorf office was renamed to Meckenheim office. Mayors were u. a. Dr. Max Müller (1933–1936), acting as Willy Linden (1936/37), Matthias Mayer (1937–1945), Heinrich Wilky (1945–1946) and Hörnig (around 1958).

The eight independent municipalities of the Meckenheim office were divided up on August 1, 1969 due to the law on the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area ("Bonn Law"). The municipality of Meckenheim and the municipalities of Altendorf, Ersdorf, Lüftelberg and Merl were merged to form the city of Meckenheim. The communities of Adendorf with Klein-Villip, Arzdorf and Fritzdorf, together with the ten communities of the Villip office, formed the community of Wachtberg in the Rhein-Sieg district .
