Mayorry of Villip
The mayor's office in Villip was a Prussian administrative district in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was formed in 1816 from the Mairie Villip and was one of initially nine mayor's offices in the Bonn district (later Bonn district) in the Cologne administrative district . In 1927 the mayor's office was renamed Amt Villip . The office of Villip existed until July 31, 1969 and was part of the municipality of Wachtberg .
Administrative history
Mairie Villip (1798-1815)
The administrative area of the mayor's office in Villip belonged to the electorate of Cologne until the end of the 18th century . It was administered by the Lords of Gudenau , most recently by Baron Clemens August von der Vorst – Lombeck zu Gudenau. After French revolutionary troops had conquered the areas on the left bank of the Rhine in October 1794 , they introduced the French administrative structures in 1798. The localities Berkum , Gimmersdorf , Ließem , Niederbachem , Oberbachem (with Kürrighoven), Pissenheim (today Werthhoven ) and Züllighoven of the Drachenfelser Ländchen as well as the localities Holzem , Pech and Villip (with Villiprott and Neuenhof ) of the imperial rule Villip were combined to the French administrative unit Mairie . The ten independent villages formed the Mairie Villip . This belonged to the canton Bonn external in the Arrondissement de Bonn in the Rhine-Mosel-Département .
Mayor's office Villip (1816–1927)
On the basis of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna (1815), the Rhine-Moselle department and with it the Mairie Villip were added to the Kingdom of Prussia . The administrative area of the new Villip mayor's office was identical to that of Mairie Villip . The mayor's office in Villip belonged to the district of Bonn, which in particular emerged from the canton of Bonn external . The cantons in the Rhine-Moselle department were temporarily part of the Prussian province of the Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine , from which the province of Kleve Berg and Jülich-Kleve-Berg emerged in 1815 and the Rhine province in 1822 . The central instance was the administrative district of Cologne, which began work on April 22, 1816.
On October 10, 1816, Wilhelm Hugo Franken (1784-1840) from Poppelsdorf was appointed the first mayor of the Villip mayor . Since 1818 he was also the mayor of the mayor's office in Godesberg . Wilhelm Hugo Franken is the father of the Oberbachem-born painter Paul von Franken (1818–1884). Franconia and his successor, Baron Karl Joseph von Fürstenberg, appointed in 1840, carried out official business from their homes in Godesberg and Muffendorf, respectively . In 1846 August Grothe became mayor. He lived in Niederbachem, as did his successor, Franz Joseph Schaefer, who was appointed in 1849 and owned the Broichhof on the Rodderberg . The mayor's office was administered from Niederbachem until 1859, when Carl Wilhelm Steinhauer became mayor and from then on ran the official business from his home town of Berkum. Mayor Peter Joseph Kurth was appointed in 1868. A town hall was built in Berkum on his initiative . Until 1975 the building was the administrative seat of the mayor's office and the later municipality of Wachtberg. Peter Joseph Krings succeeded Kurth in 1878. He held office until 1912. This was followed by Hans Hoss and, from January 1, 1914, Wilhelm Hackenbroch. The construction of the war memorial on the Wachtberg fell during Hackenbroch's tenure . Hermann Schneider from Kürrighoven became mayor in 1927.
Office Villip (1927–1969)
At the end of 1927, according to the law regulating various points of municipal constitutional law, all rural mayor's offices in the Rhine Province were renamed into offices. The Villip mayor's office became the Villip office with its seat in Berkum. The Catholic Schneider was “given leave” in 1933 by the National Socialist rulers on the basis of the law to restore the civil service. The new mayor of the Godesberg district , NSDAP member Heinrich Alef , took over the business on a temporary basis until the NSDAP member Heinrich Peters was appointed from January 1, 1934. Peters was deposed on March 7, 1945 immediately after the American occupation of City Hall. From May 1945 the Villip office was part of the British zone of occupation . Josef Muders was mayor until 1946. The division of offices and districts was not changed. However, the British introduced the separation of the offices of mayor and official director (the so-called North German Council Constitution ). From 1948 to 1963, Peter Schreiber was again followed by the former mayor Hermann Schneider, who was “on leave” at the instigation of the National Socialists in 1933. During the term of office of Mayor Josef Bedorf, the transition from the office of Villip to the municipality of Wachtberg took place . Until 1969 he was the last mayor of the Villip office and until 1975 also the first mayor of the municipality of Wachtberg .
The ten independent municipalities of the Villip office have formed the municipality of Wachtberg since August 1, 1969 due to the law on the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area ("Bonn Law") together with the municipalities of Adendorf with Klein-Villip, Arzdorf and Fritzdorf from the Meckenheim district in the Rhein-Sieg district .
