Ringhuscheid Mayor's Office

The mayor's office Ringhuscheid was one of originally 29 Prussian mayor's offices into which the district of Prüm , which was newly formed in 1816 in the administrative district of Trier, was administratively divided. From 1822 the administrative district of Trier, including the mayor's office Ringhuscheid, belonged to the Rhine province that was newly formed that year .

The administrative seat was in the municipality of Ringhuscheid , which since 1973 has been part of today's local municipality of Krautscheid in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .

The mayor's office became part of the Waxweiler mayor's office in 1854 .

history

Before 1794, all localities in the administrative district of the mayor's office belonged to the Neuerburg rule , which was part of the Vianden district in the Duchy of Luxembourg . In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . Under French administration , the area belonged to the canton of Arzfeld , which was administratively assigned to the arrondissement of Bitburg in the department of forests .

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our rivers was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, new administrative districts and districts were formed in 1816 ; on the left bank of the Rhine, Prussia generally retained the administrative districts of the French Mairies for the time being. The mayor's office Ringhuscheid corresponded to the previous Mairie Ringhuscheid. The mayor's office Ringhuscheid was assigned to the district of Prüm in the administrative district of Trier .

The mayor's office became part of the Waxweiler mayor's office in 1854 .

All localities are now administratively part of the Arzfeld community in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
