history

The two villages of the administrative district of the mayor's office belonged to the Luxembourg rule of Bettingen before 1794 . In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . Under the French administration , the area belonged to the canton Bitburg in the department of forests .

Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna , the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815. 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 Bettingen initially corresponded to the previous Mairie Bettingen. The Bürgermeisterei Bettingen was the Bitburg in Trier assigned.

In 1840 the administration in the region began to be restructured. In 1856 the mayor's office in Bettingen was dissolved and the two communities were incorporated into the mayor's office in Alsdorf .

Bettingen and Wettlingen are now administratively part of the Bitburger Land association in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
