history

Until the end of the 18th century, the administrative area of ​​the mayor's office Oedekoven was part of the Bonn Oberamt in the Electorate of Cologne . From 1798 to 1814 it belonged to France . At the time, Oedekoven was the seat of a Mairie that belonged to the canton of Bonn external in the Arrondissement de Bonn of the Rhine-Mosel department . The administrative area of ​​Mairie Oedekoven was identical to that of the later Prussian mayor's office.

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 counties were formed in 1816 , while the administrative districts of the French Mairies were generally retained on the left bank of the Rhine. The mayor's office Oedekoven belonged to the district of Bonn in the administrative district of Cologne . In 1822 the district of Bonn and with it the mayor's office Oedekoven came to the then newly formed Rhine province .

In 1927, the mayor's office, like all of the rural mayor's offices in the Rhine Province, was renamed “Amt Oedekoven”. In 1934 the offices of the offices of Oedekoven and Duisdorf were merged , in 1937 the office of Oedekoven was dissolved and the municipalities were assigned to the office of Duisdorf.

As part of the local reorganization of the Bonn area ( Bonn Law ), today's municipality of Alfter in the Rhein-Sieg district was created in 1969 from the municipalities originally belonging to the mayor's office in Oedekoven . The communities of Buschdorf and Lessenich were assigned to the new city of Bonn at the same time.
