history

Before 1794, all localities in the administrative district of the mayor's office in Auw belonged to the rule of Schönberg or, most recently, to the Electoral Trier office of Schönberg . Auw was the main town of the administrative and judicial district "Hof Auw", to which all the localities of the later mayor's office belonged except for Laudesfeld. Laudesfeld, on the other hand, belonged to the "Hof Amelscheid" (today part of Sankt Vith in Belgium ). In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine . Under French administration , the above-mentioned localities were assigned to the canton of Schönberg from 1798 , which belonged to the Prüm arrondissement in the Saardepartement .

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, substantial parts of the Rhineland were assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, new administrative districts and districts were formed in 1816 ; on the left bank of the Rhine, Prussia generally retained the administrative districts of the French Mairies for the time being. The mayor's office in Auw corresponded to the previous Mairie Auw. Under the Prussian administration, the mayor Auw to part circle Prüm in Trier and from 1822 to the Rhine province .

The mayor's offices of Auw, Bleialf and Winterscheid were already administered by the Bleialfer mayor in personal union in the second half of the 19th century, but remained independent administrative districts.

Like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , the Auw mayor's office was renamed "Amt Auw" in 1927. In 1933 the offices of Auw, Habscheid and Winterscheid were dissolved and the associated municipalities were assigned to the Bleialf office, from which the Bleialf association was temporarily created in 1968. Since 1971 all municipalities of the former mayor's office Auw belong to the association municipality of Prüm in the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
