history
The area of the later Amt Glehn was occupied by French troops in 1794. Later it was part of the French Republic and then the French Empire . In 1815 the area came under the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, administrative districts , districts and mayor's offices were formed in 1816 . The mayor's office Glehn included the church village Glehn and the villages Schlich, Lüttenglehn , Epsendorf and Scherfhausen. First, the mayor belonged to the district of Neuss in the administrative district of Dusseldorf on. Like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , the Glehn mayor's office was renamed "Amt Glehn" in 1927. In 1929 the district of Neuss was dissolved and Mönchengladbach tried in vain to incorporate the communities of Glehn and Liedberg. But they remained independent and came to the district of Grevenbroich-Neuss (from 1946 district of Grevenbroich ). During the Second World War, the center of Glehn was badly damaged by air mines. In 1975 the Glehn office was incorporated into the town of Korschenbroich .
