history

The administrative area and the belonging localities of the mayoralty Remagen belonged to the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine by France (1794) to various country glories : Oedingen, Bodensdorf and Lohrsdorf to rule Landskron , Remagen, Upper winter and Unkelbach for office Sinzig-Remagen in the Duchy of Jülich and Rolandswerth to Office (Godesberg-) Mehlem in the Electorate of Cologne . From 1798, under French administration, the area belonged to the canton of Remagen in the Arrondissement of Bonn , which was assigned to the Rhine-Mosel department . The communities Remagen, Bodendorf, Oberwinter and Unkelbach were in the administrative district of Mairie Remagen , Lohrsdorf and Oedingen in the administrative district of Mairie Heimersheim .

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 , districts and associated mayor's offices were formed in 1816 . The mayor Remagen belonged to the district Ahrweiler in the administrative district of Coblenz . 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 1857 the municipality of Remagen was raised to the status of a city ​​according to the Rhenish city code and from then on formed its own city ​​mayor's office , while the remaining municipalities became a country mayor . Both mayorships had the same name and, through personal union, represented an organizational unit.

On the basis of the Prussian law on the regulation of various points of the municipal constitutional law of December 27, 1927, all rural mayor's offices were renamed "Office". The Remagen office existed until the official regulations were abolished in the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate municipal and territorial reform on October 1, 1968 and the simultaneous formation of the Remagen community, from which the cities of Remagen and Sinzig were rebuilt in 1969 .
