history

Before 1794, all localities in the administrative district of the mayor's office belonged to the Binscheid dairy in the Dasburg lordship , which was part of the Duchy of Luxembourg . 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 belonged to the canton of Arzfeld , which was administratively assigned to the arrondissement of Bitburg in the department of forests .

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our 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 in Eschfeld corresponded to the previous Mairie Eschfeld.

The mayor's offices of Eschfeld, Harspelt and Leidenborn were already administered jointly by the Leiden mayor in the second half of the 19th century, but remained independent administrative districts.

Like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , the Eschfeld mayor's office was renamed "Amt Eschfeld" in 1927. Finally, in 1936, the Eschfeld Office was dissolved and, together with other offices, incorporated into the Daleiden-Leidenborn Office, which was also newly formed .

All localities are now administratively part of the Arzfeld community in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
