Ahrweiler Mayor's Office

The mayor's office in Ahrweiler was one of originally seven Prussian mayor's offices into which the district of Ahrweiler, newly formed in 1816, in the administrative district of Koblenz, was administratively divided. From 1822 on, the Koblenz administrative district and thus the Ahrweiler mayor was part of the Rhine Province . Six municipalities were subordinate to the administration of the mayor's office in Ahrweiler. In 1857 the city of Ahrweiler left the mayor's association, the remaining five rural communities were assigned to the mayor's office of Ahrweiler-Land . This existed until 1875 and was incorporated into the mayor's office in Neuenahr .

Today the administrative area of ​​the former mayor's office lies entirely within the city of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler in northern Rhineland-Palatinate .

Ahrweiler Mayor's Office

On the basis of the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Rhine-Moselle Department was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, districts and administrative districts were newly formed in 1816 . The mayor's office in Ahrweiler was assigned to the Ahrweiler district and the Koblenz district (then "Coblenz district") in the Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine province (1822 Rhine province ).

The mayorry Ahrweiler with the territorial status from 1816 included parts of the previous Mairies Ahrweiler , Heimersheim and Ringen .

Lohrsdorf with the Köhlerhof initially belonged to the Remagen mayor and was incorporated into the Ahrweiler mayor between 1830 and 1843. Lohrsdorf also received the hamlet of Green from the community of Heimersheim .

Mayor's office in Ahrweiler-Land

After the city ​​ordinance for the Rhine Province came into effect on May 15, 1856, the city of Ahrweiler left the mayor's association on March 2, 1857 and formed its own urban administrative district. The rural communities of Gimmigen (then Gimmingen ), Heimersheim, Lohrsdorf, Kirchdaun and Wadenheim formed the new "Mayor's Office Ahrweiler-Land". It was administered in personal union by the mayor of the city of Ahrweiler, Josef Wilhelm Clotten.

In 1874, the community of Wadenheim suggested separating from Ahrweiler due to its development into a health resort. By order of January 26, 1875, the royal government, Department of the Interior, decided in Koblenz to abolish the personal union and to set up a special rural mayor's office with its seat in Wadenheim . A little later, the municipality of Wadenheim, which was formed from the three localities of Wadenheim, Beul and Hemmessen , was authorized by royal approval on June 9, 1875 to use the name "Municipality of Neuenahr".

The name of the mayor's office was changed to the mayor's office in Neuenahr .
