history

Until the end of the 18th century, Dockweiler , Dreis and part of Brück belonged to the imperial rule of Kerpen , which was owned by the Duke of Arenberg ; part of Brück was electoral Trier ( office elm ). Kirchweiler belonged to the Rockeskyll court in the Daun office of the Electorate of Trier . Waldkönigen belonged to the imperial rule of Winneburg and Beilstein , most recently owned by the Counts of Metternich .

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). Dockweiler belonged to the canton of Daun in the Saar department and in 1800 became the chief town ( chef-lieu ) of a Mairie . 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 mayor's office of Dockweiler corresponded to the previous Mairie Dockweiler. The mayor Dockweiler belonged to the circle down in Trier and from 1822 to the Rhine province .

The Dockweiler mayor's office, like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , was renamed “Amt Dockweiler” on December 27, 1927 , due to the Prussian law regulating various points of the municipal constitutional law . Later the administrations of the offices in Dockweiler and Sarmersbach were merged with the office of Daun.
