history

Up to the end of the 18th century, all the localities in the administrative district belonged to the Electorate of Trier , Meisburg was subordinate to the Kyllburg Office, the other places to the Manderscheid Office .

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). Meisburg belonged to the canton of Kyllburg , the other places to the canton Manderscheid in the Saar department . Weidenbach became the chief town ( chef-lieu ) of a Mairie in 1800 . 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 Mayor's Office Weidenbach corresponded to the previous Mairie Weidenbach, including the municipality of Meisburg from Mairie Mürlenbach. The mayor's office Weidenbach belonged to the district of Daun in the administrative district of Trier and from 1822 to the Rhine province .

The administrative seat was initially in the municipality of Üdersdorf . This was also the administrative seat of the otherwise independent mayor of Üdersdorf . Both administrations were moved to Niederstadtfeld in 1878.

At the end of 1927, the Weidenbach mayor's office, like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , was renamed "Weidenbach Office" due to the Prussian law regulating various points of the municipal constitutional law of December 27, 1927.

Later, the offices of Weidenbach and Üdersdorf and the "Office Niederstadtfeld" were merged. This office existed until October 1, 1968, it was initially part of the Niederstadtfeld association. Finally, 1,970 were community association Gillenfeld and Niederstadtfeld with the municipality down together.
