history

The three villages in the administrative district of the mayor's office belonged to the Duchy of Luxembourg before 1794 , Dockendorf to the provost of Bitburg , Ingendorf and Wolsfeld to the rule of Liessem . In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . Under French administration , the area came to the canton of Bitburg , which until 1814 belonged to the arrondissement of Bitburg in the department of forests .

At the beginning of 1814, French rule ended in this region. After the Peace of Paris in May 1814, it was initially provisionally subordinated to the General Government of Lower and Middle Rhine . Due to the agreements reached at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our rivers was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration in 1816 were administrative districts and counties newly formed The mayor Dockendorf was the Bitburg in Trier and the province of Lower Rhine (of 1822 Rheinprovinz assigned).

In contrast, Prussia generally retained the administrative districts of the French Mairies for the time being. The mayor's office Dockendorf corresponded to the previous Mairie Dockendorf.

In 1840 the administration in this region began to be restructured. From 1870 onwards, the mayor offices of Alsdorf , Dockendorf, Peffingen and Schankweiler were administered in personal union from Wolsfeld . In 1914 these were merged to form the Wolsfeld mayor (from 1927 Wolsfeld office ).

The municipalities now administratively belong to the Verbandsgemeinde Bitburger Land in the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
