history

When administrative structures based on the French model were introduced in the Grand Duchy of Berg, beginning in 1809, the Mairie ( mayor's office ) Hubbelrath was set up in the Düsseldorf arrondissement of the Rhine department. Due to the agreements reached at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , the Rhineland , and thus Hubbelrath, came to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, the Hubbelrath mayor's office continued to exist in the form of a “rural collective municipality” to which the honors Hasselbeck , Hubbelrath , Krumbach, Meiersberg , Metzkausen and Schwarzbach belonged. The mayor's office was assigned to the newly established district of Düsseldorf in the province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg (from 1822 Rhine province ). Since the introduction of the municipal code for the Rhine Province in 1845, the mayor's office has consisted of the five rural communities Hasselbeck-Krumbach , Hubbelrath , Meiersberg , Metzkausen and Schwarzbach .

The building, built in the municipal area of ​​Metzkausen in 1890, was the seat of the administration for a long time. In the course of the municipal reorganization in 1930, the municipality of Homberg-Bracht-Bellscheidt was reclassified from the Eckamp office to the Hubbelrath office. On April 1, 1967, the communities Homberg-Bracht-Bellscheidt and Meiersberg merged to form the community Homberg-Meiersberg. The four communities of the Hubbelrath office planned in 1968 to merge into a unified community with the name Hubbelrath. The major territorial reform that followed stopped this planning.

Through the Düsseldorf law , Hubbelrath and parts of Hasselbeck-Schwarzbach were incorporated into the city of Düsseldorf with effect from January 1, 1975 . Homberg-Meiersberg and the larger but sparsely populated part of Hasselbeck-Schwarzbach became districts of the newly formed city of Ratingen . The hamlet of Hofermühle belonging to Homberg-Meiersberg went to Heiligenhaus and Metzkausen was incorporated into the city of Mettmann , which is also the legal successor to the office.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In silver over a green corrugated shield foot, a red, black armored striding horse."

On March 28, 1938, the Upper President of the Rhine Province awarded the office the coat of arms. The coat of arms created by the heraldist Wolfgang Pagenstecher represents characteristic features of the office. A red stallion with black hooves walks along on hilly ground. The "hilly ground" is supposed to symbolize the "bubbly" "talking", the horse was considered to be "the farmer's most important assistant." The coat of arms is still officially used today by the Ratingen district of Homberg and Düsseldorf-Hubbelrath.
