Mayor's office in Dabringhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the 19th century, the mayor's office in Dabringhausen was a mayor's office in the Lennep district of the Prussian Rhine province , which continued as the Dabringhausen office until 1938 . It emerged from parts of the medieval Bergisches Amt Bornefeld (from 1555 Amt Bornefeld-Hückeswagen ) that was dissolved under the French in 1806 and divided into independent cantons and Mairies . Under Prussia, the Mairie Dabringhausen was converted into the mayor's office in Dabringhausen.

Background and story

The Duchy of Berg last belonged to King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria due to inheritance . On March 15, 1806 he ceded the duchy to Napoleon Bonaparte in exchange for the principality of Ansbach . He transferred the duchy to his brother-in-law Joachim Murat , who united it on April 24, 1806 with the counties of Mark , Dortmund , Limburg on the right bank of the Rhine , the northern part of the Principality of Munster and other territories to form the Grand Duchy of Berg .

Soon after the takeover, the French administration in the Grand Duchy began to introduce new and modern administrative structures based on the French model. By August 3, 1806, this municipal reform replaced and unified the old Bergisch offices and rulers. It provided for the creation of departments , arrondissements , cantons and municipalities (called Mairies from the end of 1808) and broke with the old nobility prerogatives in local government. On November 14, 1808, this process was completed after a reorganization of the first structuring from 1806, the Altbergic honors were often retained and were assigned to the respective Mairies of a canton as rural communities. During this time, the municipality or Maire Dabringhausen was created as part of the canton of Wermelskirchen in the Elberfeld arrondissement .

It belonged to the parish of Dabringhausen , divided into the Oberhonschaft and Niederhonschaft , as well as the parish Dhünn and the Wermelskirchener Niederhonschaft from the parish of Wermelskirchen .

In 1813 the French withdrew from the Grand Duchy after the defeat in the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig and from the end of 1813 it fell under the provisional administration of Prussia in the so-called Generalgouvernement Berg , which was finally granted it by the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815. With the formation of the Prussian province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg in 1816, the existing administrative structures were largely retained and, while maintaining the French borders, transformed into Prussian districts , mayorships and municipalities , which often survived into the 20th century. The canton of Lennep became the district of Lennep, the Maire Dabringhausen became the mayor's office in Dabringhausen.

In 1815/16 a total of 6,037 people lived in the mayor's office. According to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , the mayor's office had a total population of 6,722 in 1832, divided into 240 Catholic and 6,482 Protestant parishioners. The living space of the mayor's office comprised two churches, seven public buildings, 983 residential houses, 23 factories and mills and 838 agricultural buildings.

The parishes and special household communities of Dabringhausen and Dhünn remained in the mayor's office of Dabringhausen, the latter being assigned several separate Niederwermelskirchen outlying areas.

In 1927 the mayor's office was converted into an office . This was dissolved again in 1938 and the two remaining municipalities of Dabringhausen and Dhünn, as well as the city of Wermelskirchen, were assigned to the Wermelskirchen office , which was newly established at the same time .
