Radevormwald Mayor's Office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The mayor's office in Radevormwald was a mayor's office in the Lennep district of the Prussian Rhine province in the 19th century . It emerged from parts of the medieval Bergisches Amt Beyenburg that was dissolved under the French in 1806 and divided into independent cantons and Mairies . Under Prussia, the Mairie Radevormwald was converted into the mayor's office in Radevormwald.

Background and story

The Duchy of Berg last belonged to King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria due to inheritance . On March 15, 1806 he ceded the duchy to Napoleon Bonaparte in exchange for the principality of Ansbach . He transferred the duchy to his brother-in-law Joachim Murat , who united it on April 24, 1806 with the counties of Mark , Dortmund , Limburg on the right bank of the Rhine , the northern part of the Principality of Munster and other territories to form the Grand Duchy of Berg .

Soon after the takeover, the French administration in the Grand Duchy began to introduce new and modern administrative structures based on the French model. By August 3, 1806, this municipal reform replaced and unified the old Bergisch offices and rulers. It provided for the creation of departments , arrondissements , cantons and municipalities (called Mairies from the end of 1808) and broke with the old nobility prerogatives in local government. On November 14, 1808, this process was completed after a reorganization of the first structuring from 1806, the Altbergic honors were often retained and were assigned to the respective Mairies of a canton as rural communities. During this time, the municipality or Maire Radevormwald was created as part of the canton Lennep in the Elberfeld arrondissement .

The town of Radevormwald (urban district) and the parishes of Radevormwald and Remlingrade (rural districts) belonged to it.

In 1813 the French withdrew from the Grand Duchy after the defeat in the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig and from the end of 1813 it fell under the provisional administration of Prussia in the so-called Generalgouvernement Berg , which was finally awarded it by the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815. With the formation of the Prussian province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg in 1816, the existing administrative structures were largely retained and, while maintaining the French borders, transformed into Prussian districts , mayorships and municipalities , which often survived into the 20th century. The canton of Lennep became the district of Lennep, the Maire Radevormwald became the mayor's office in Radevormwald.

In 1815/16 a total of 4,624 people lived in the mayor's office. According to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , the mayor's office in 1832 had a total population of 5,480, divided into 596 Catholic and 4,884 Protestant parishioners. The living quarters of the mayor's office comprised four churches, seven public buildings, 753 residential houses, 27 factories and mills and 292 agricultural buildings.

The area of ​​the mayor's office (5,718 ha ) was divided into 2,520 ha of arable land, 505 ha of meadows and 2,345 ha of forest.
