Mayor's office Kastellaun

The mayor's office Kastellaun (also: Bürgermeisterei Castellaun ) was one of six Prussian mayor's offices in which the district of Simmern, formed in 1816 in the Koblenz administrative district, was administratively divided. From 1822 on, the region belonged to the Rhine Province that was newly formed that year . 26 rural communities were subordinate to the administration of the mayor's office . The administrative seat was in the city of Kastellaun in what is now the Rhein-Hunsrück district in Rhineland-Palatinate .

history

The municipalities in the mayor's district of Kastellaun belonged to six different territories at the end of the 18th century , the majority of which was accounted for by the rear county of Sponheim and the office of Kastellaun . In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine . Under French administration, the area belonged from 1798 to 1814 to the Arrondissement Simmern ( Canton Kastellaun ), which was assigned to the Rhine-Moselle department . After the Peace of Paris (1814), the region was initially subordinated to the Joint State Administration Commission based in Kreuznach , which was under the administration of Austria and Bavaria .

Mayor's office Kastellaun

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Rhine-Moselle department was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, administrative districts and districts were newly formed in 1816 . The mayor's office Kastellaun was assigned to the district of Simmern and the administrative district of Koblenz (then "administrative district of Coblenz") in the province of the Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine (1822 Rhine province ). The mayor's office of Kastellaun essentially comprised the two previous Mairies Kastellaun and Gödenroth.

The municipalities Alterkülz, Bell, Buch, Haserich, Hasselbach, Hundheim, Kastellaun, Krastel, Leideneck, Michelbach, Mörz, Spesenroth, Völkenroth and Wohnroth belonged to the Mairie Kastellaun; Haserich was spun off and first came to the Senheim mayor , and later to the Blankenrath mayor in the Zell district . Beltheim, Braunshorn, Dorweiler, Dudenroth, Ebschied, Frankweiler, Gödenroth, Heyweiler, Hollnich, Korweiler, Mannebach, Mörsdorf, Roth, Sabershausen, Sevenich and Uhler belonged to Mairie Gödenroth; Braunshorn and Dudenroth were assigned to the Pfalzfeld mayor in the Sankt Goar district , Mörsdorf was assigned to the Treis mayor in the Cochem district .

The administrative seat was in the eponymous municipality Kastellaun.

Office Kastellaun

Like all mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , the mayor's office Kastellaun (Mayor Castellaun) was renamed “ Amt Kastellaun” (Amt Castellaun) in 1927 . In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform in 1968, all offices in the administrative districts of Koblenz and Trier were converted into association communities . The Kastellaun community was formed from the office of Kastellaun. With regard to the associated municipalities and the affiliation to the district of Simmern , there were no changes until 1968, compared to 1816.
