history

The administrative area of ​​the Oberkassel mayor's office was part of the Löwenburg office in the Duchy of Berg until the beginning of the 19th century , which opened up in 1806 in connection with the formation of the Rhine Confederation in the Grand Duchy of Berg . With the introduction of the municipal constitution by the "Provincial and Communal Administrative Regulations for the Grand Duchy of Berg" on December 18, 1808, the Mairie Oberkassel was formed by the French administration under Napoléon Bonaparte . The Mairie belonged to the canton of Königswinter , Arrondissement Mülheim am Rhein in the Département Rhein as well as to the Königswinter Peace Court . During the provisional administration in the Generalgouvernement Berg , the Mairie was called "Mayor's Office" from December 1813.

Based on the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Rhineland was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, administrative districts and districts were formed in 1816 . The mayor's office in Oberkassel belonged to the Siegburg district (from 1825 Siegkreis) in the Cöln administrative district . This initially belonged to the province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg , which was combined with the province of Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine in 1822 to form the Rhine province . The administrative seat of the mayor's office was not in Oberkassel until 1844, but on the Longenburg in Niederdollendorf , where the first mayor resided until his death. With the enactment of a municipal code for the Rhine Province in 1845, the municipalities administered by the mayor's office were legally recognized as local authorities with their own head and council . In 1898 the mayor's office received its own town hall for the first time .

After the First World War , the mayor's office was occupied by Allied soldiers. These remained until January 29, 1926.

Like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province, the Oberkassel mayor's office was renamed “Amt Oberkassel” in 1927. From 1949 to 1955 the administrative area of ​​the office was part of the Enclave Bonn , a special area under the Allied High Commission around the provisional seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany. As part of the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area , the Oberkassel office and the municipalities belonging to the office were dissolved on August 1, 1969 . Heisterbacherrott, Nieder- and Oberdollendorf were merged together with other communities to form the new municipality under the name "City of Königswinter" in the Rhein-Sieg district . The municipality of Oberkassel became a district of Bonn in the Beuel district .

Infrastructure

Two councilors were assigned to the mayor. There were three assistant registrars. The four parishes had their own local councilors and each had a school. Furthermore, the mayor's office included a municipal rentmaster . Two police officers and four community riflemen took care of the protection (all information as of 1910).
