history

Up to the end of the 18th century, all the localities in the administrative district belonged to the Electorate of Trier , Strotzbüsch was subordinate to the Office of Cochem, the other places to the Office of Daun .

In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine . After the Peace of Campo Formio (1797), the then new French administrative structure was introduced by the French directorate government (1798). All localities of the later mayor's office of Strohn belonged to the canton Manderscheid in the Saar department , in 1800 Strohn became chief town ( chef-lieu ) of a Mairie . As a result of the so-called Wars of Liberation , the region was temporarily subordinated to the Generalgouvernement Mittelrhein , then to the Generalgouvernement Nieder- and Mittelrhein .

At the Congress of Vienna (1815), the entire Eifel 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 Strohn mayor's office corresponded to the previous Mairie Strohn. The mayor's office Strohn belonged to the district of Daun in the administrative district of Trier and from 1822 to the Rhine province .

On February 22, 1841, the merger of the Strohn mayor's office with that of Gillenfeld was approved at the request of the Trier government.
