history

Until the end of the 18th century, all communities belonged to the Electorate of Trier and were subordinate to the Daun office.

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 localities of the later mayor's office Gillenfeld belonged to the canton Daun in the department of the Saar , Gillenfeld 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 in Gillenfeld corresponded to the previous Mairie Gillenfeld. The mayor Gillenfeld belonged to the circle down in Trier and from 1822 to the Rhine province .

In 1841 the Strohn mayor's office was dissolved and the associated municipalities Brockscheid , Immerath , Mückeln , Niederwinkel , Strohn and Strotzbüsch were incorporated into the Gillenfeld mayor's office.

The mayor's office in Gillenfeld was renamed “Amt Gillenfeld” at the end of 1927, just like all the rural mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , 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 initially the Verbandsgemeinde Gillenfeld, which became part of the Verbandsgemeinde Daun on November 7, 1970 .
