Under the Prussian administration, districts and administrative districts were newly formed in 1816 . The mayor's office of Altenahr, which was created in 1818 from parts of the previous Mairies (renamed in 1814 to mayor's offices), 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 places that are now part of the Kirchsahr community were part of the Berg community until the middle of the 19th century .
