Harspelt Mayor's Office

The mayor Harspelt was one of 29 original Prussian mayors , in which the newly formed 1816 to circle Prüm in Trier divided administratively. From 1822 the administrative district of Trier, including the mayor's office Harspelt, belonged to the newly formed Rhine province that year . Four municipalities were under the administration of the mayor's office . The administrative seat was in Harspelt , later in today's local community of Leidenborn in the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .

The mayor's office was renamed to Amt Harspelt in 1927 , which was dissolved in 1936 and merged with other offices to form the Amt Daleiden-Leidenborn , which was newly formed at the time .

history

Before 1794, all localities in the administrative district of the mayor's office belonged to the Leidenborn dairy in the Dasburg lordship , which was part of the Duchy of Luxembourg . In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . Under French administration , the area belonged to the canton of Arzfeld , which was administratively assigned to the arrondissement of Bitburg in the department of forests .

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our 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 Harspelt mayor's office corresponded to the previous Mairie Harspelt.

The mayor's offices of Eschfeld , Harspelt and Leidenborn were already administered in the second half of the 19th century by the Mayor of Leiden in personal union, but remained independent administrative districts.

Like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , the Harspelt mayor's office was renamed "Amt Harspelt" in 1927. Eventually this was dissolved in 1936 and incorporated into the Daleiden-Leidenborn Office, which was newly formed at the same time .

All localities are now administratively part of the Arzfeld community in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
