Mayor's office of Gladbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bergisch Gladbach town hall

The mayor's office in Gladbach was one of nine mayor's offices in the district of Mülheim am Rhein in the administrative district of Cologne in the Prussian Rhine province . It was created in 1816 from the Mairie Gladbach , which was built by the French in the Grand Duchy of Berg .

Due to the Rhenish city code , the mayor's office was granted city rights on August 9, 1856 and was allowed to call itself the city of Gladbach. The name of the city and mayor's office was changed to Bergisch Gladbach in 1863 to avoid confusion with Munich Gladbach .

With the Prussian law regulating various points of the municipal constitutional law of December 27, 1927, the mayor's offices were finally abolished and the city of Bergisch Gladbach lost the parallel status of mayor's office.
