history

Until the end of the 18th century, Gerolstein with Büscheich, Kalenborn, Michelbach, Müllenborn, Salm and part of Schänen belonged to the County of Gerolstein ; the other part of scouring belonged to the Aremberg rule Fleringen . Wallenborn was an imperial knighthood and belonged jointly to the Duke of Aremberg and Baron Zandt von Merl zu Lissingen. Hinterhausen and Lissingen belonged to the Electorate of Trier Prüm and Neroth to the Elector of Trier 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 the localities of the later mayor's office of Gerolstein belonged to the canton of Gerolstein in the Saar department , Gerolstein 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 mayor's office Gerolstein corresponded to the previous Mairie Gerolstein. The mayor's office in Gerolstein 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 Gerolstein mayor's office, like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , was renamed "Amt Gerolstein" 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 Gerolstein .
