history
Previous administrations were until 1795 the offices of the electorate of Trier and Cologne as well as the imperial knights' rule Ehrenberg and Boos von Waldeck . With the French Revolution from 1794, the administration of the nobility or the church on the left bank of the Rhine was abolished and structured according to the French model. The German staff was largely left in their positions. The municipalities belonging to the cantons of Treis and Boppard became the mayor's office of Brodenbach in 1817 after the end of the Napoleonic Empire .
Mayor's Office Brodenbach
The administrative district was 5,420 hectares. More than half of the area was covered by forests. Most of the population lived from agriculture and animal husbandry. A transport infrastructure consisted largely of unpaved roads. A district road from Boppard to Simmern, to be maintained from local tax funds, and a large state road along the Rhine offered individual, supra-regional travel options. In the 1860s, the Mosel-Chaussee from Koblenz towards Trier / Luxembourg reached the Brodenbach district.
From 1822 on, the region belonged to the newly formed Rhine Province in the Kingdom of Prussia in the same year . First mayor until 1847 was Johann Kaiserswerth , appointed by the district administrator . From 1827 elected officials of the district council could choose their civil servant mayor proposed by the government. In addition to the mayor, the administration consisted of two adjuncts and a police commissioner . The competent peace court (later district court) was in Boppard.
The administration of the mayor's office in Obergondershausen from Brodenbach is mentioned as early as 1843 . The communities Beulich , Dommershausen , Eveshausen , Liesenfeld , Macken , Mermuth , Morshausen , Nieder- and Obergondershausen belonged to Obergondershausen. (Note: “The mayor lives in Brodenbach”) In 1890 the mayor's office in Obergondershausen demanded a regular change of administration. The change was rejected by the government because the population of Brodenbach protested against it with a petition.
Office Brodenbach
In 1925 the name was mayor in Amtsbürgermeisterei renamed and the Superintendent was official mayor . A regular bus service operated by the Reichspost connected Brodenbach and Obergondershausen with the district town of Sankt Goar.
Office Brodenbach-Obergondershausen
In 1927 the mayor's office in Brodenbach was renamed to Amt Brodenbach-Obergondershausen . After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the mayor was removed from office and replaced by a Nazi party member. In 1937 the administration (including the registry office) had 14 employees. After the end of the German Reich in 1945, the US-American, then the French occupation left the administration and appointed three temporary mayors. In 1947, the constitution for the newly created state of Rhineland-Palatinate laid down the municipalities' right to self-government and the right to vote to determine their municipal officials. In 1948 Peter Paul Kirfel became mayor and led the office until the administration was dissolved in 1970.
In 1951 the previously co-administered Office Obergondershausen was dissolved and its communities assigned to the Office Brodenbach.
Association municipality of Brodenbach
In the early 1960s, the state government of Rhineland-Palatinate began to plan an administrative reform to reduce the number of previous offices. The aim was to simplify the administration through fewer, but larger administrative districts. In 1964, the state government's plans became public and some of them were controversial. Instead of the traditional office order, a municipal association order came into force in 1968. With various surveys carried out among heads of households (e.g. in Niederfell), the municipal councils received assistance in deciding which municipal association and district they wanted to belong to in the future.
After the dissolution of the Sankt Goar district in 1969, the Brodenbach office briefly became the Brodenbach association in the Koblenz-Land district. In 1970 it was dissolved and the communities of the old office facing the Moselle were merged into the Lower Moselle community , in what is now the Mayen-Koblenz district in Rhineland-Palatinate . The communities of the old Obergondershausen office located on the Hunsrück formed the Emmelshausen Association in the Rhein-Hunsrück district .
