Andernach Mayor's Office

The Mayor's Office Andernach was one of originally six Prussian mayor's offices into which the Mayen district, newly formed in 1816, in the Koblenz administrative district (then "Coblenz administrative district" in the Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine province ) was administratively divided. From 1822 on, the administrative district of Koblenz, including the mayor's office in Andernach, belonged to the newly formed Rhine province that year . Initially nine municipalities were under the administration of the mayor's office , and in 1857 the city of Andernach was spun off from the administrative district . Since then, the other municipalities have been subject to the “Mayor's Office Andernach-Land”, which is independent of the city administration and which was renamed “Amt Andernach-Land” in 1927.

history

Until the end of the 18th century, the administrative area of the Andernach mayor's office belonged partly to Kurköln ( Amt Andernach ) and partly to Kurtrier ( Amt Mayen ; Court Pellenz ), Kruft belonged to the neighboring Laach Abbey , Saffig was an independent rule owned by the Counts of the Leyen .

In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine . Under French administration, the area belonged from 1798 to 1814 to the Arrondissement of Coblenz ( Canton Andernach ), which was assigned to the Rhine-Moselle department .

Andernach Mayor's Office

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna (1815), substantial parts of the Rhineland were assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, administrative districts , districts and mayor's offices as well as associated communities were formed in 1816 . The mayor Andernach belonged to the district Mayen in the administrative district of Coblenz and from 1822 to the then newly Rhine province . After the introduction of the Rhenish city regulations , Andernach was spun off from the previous mayor's office on March 2, 1857 and received its own city administration. The other communities were now under the “Mayor's Office Andernach-Land”, whose seat remained in Andernach, but was separate from the city administration. In some cases, the city administration was also referred to as the “town mayor's office” and the “Andernach-Land mayor's office” was also called the “country mayor's office”.

Office Andernach-Land

Like all mayor's offices in the Rhine Province, the “Mayor's Office Andernach-Land” was renamed “Amt Andernach-Land” in 1927. The territorial status and the municipality allocation from 1857 remained unchanged and corresponds to that of the current association municipality Pellenz .

Verbandsgemeinde Andernach-Land

As part of the Rhineland-Palatinate functional and territorial reform that began in the second half of the 1960s, the offices in the former administrative districts of Koblenz and Trier were converted into association communities on October 1, 1968 . The community of Andernach-Land was renamed on January 1, 1992 in the community of Pellenz . Pellenz refers to a historical territory that originally belonged to the Counts of Virneburg .
