history

The localities administered by the Gebhardshain mayor belonged to the County of Sayn-Altenkirchen until 1803 and already formed an administrative and judicial district that belonged together as the parish of Gebhardshain in the Freusburg district during the Saynian period . An exception to this was the place Hommelsberg (today part of Malberg ), only two thirds of which belonged to Sayn-Altenkirchen and otherwise to the County of Sayn-Hachenburg . The parishes as a "pastoral unit" were also secular administrative units in the county, they exercised the lower jurisdiction . In terms of the church, the parishes in the County of Altenkirchen belonged to the Reformed denomination since the beginning of the 17th century ; later, Lutheran teaching was also allowed.

Sayn-Altenkirchen and thus also the area of ​​the later mayorship of Gebhardshain came under Prussian administration in 1792 and in 1803 was assigned to the Principality of Nassau-Usingen in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , which became part of the Duchy of Nassau in 1806 . The territory of Sayn-Altenkirchen was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 at the Congress of Vienna and on the basis of a treaty concluded between Nassau and Prussia .

Which was in 1816 under the Prussian administrative district Altenkirchen in the administrative district of Coblenz newly created, which was divided into nine mayors and from 1822 to the Rhine province belonged. The mayor's office in Gebhardshain, like all mayor's offices in the Rhine Province, was renamed “Amt Gebhardshain” in 1927. In the course of the functional and territorial reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, all offices in the former administrative districts of Koblenz and Trier were converted into association communities on October 1, 1968, thus forming the current association community Gebhardshain .
