history

Until the end of the 18th century, Neunkirchen, Pützborn and half the village of Gemünden were under the joint rule of Kurtrier ( Manderscheid ) and the Duke of Arenberg ( Kasselburg ), all other places and the other half of Gemünden belonged to the Elector of Daun .

In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine . After the Peace of Campo Formio (1797), the then new French administrative structure was introduced by the French directorate government (1798). All localities of the future mayor's office Daun belonged to the canton Daun in the Saar department , Daun became the chief town ( chef-lieu ) of a Mairie in 1800 . As a result of the so-called Wars of Liberation , the region was temporarily subordinated to the Generalgouvernement Mittelrhein , then to the Generalgouvernement Nieder- and Mittelrhein .

At the Congress of Vienna (1815), the entire Eifel was 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 Daun mayor's office corresponded to the previous Mairie Daun. The mayor's office in Daun belonged to the district of Daun in the administrative district of Trier and from 1822 to the Rhine province .

At the end of 1927, the Daun mayor's office, like all of the rural mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , was renamed “Amt Daun” due to the Prussian law regulating various points of the municipal constitutional law of December 27, 1927. The office existed until October 1, 1968, the legal successor was the Verbandsgemeinde Daun .
