history
On December 1, 1900, the new Rockenhausen District Office was formed from 65 communities from the Bavarian district offices of Kirchheimbolanden and Kaiserslautern. On January 1, 1939, this district office was renamed the Rockenhausen district . After the Second World War , the district became part of the French zone of occupation . The establishment of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate was ordered on August 30, 1946 as the last state in the western occupation zones by decree No. 57 of the French military government under General Marie-Pierre Kœnig . It was initially referred to as the "Rhineland-Palatinate Land" or "Land Rheinpfalz"; the name Rhineland-Palatinate was only established with the constitution of May 18, 1947.
As part of the regional reform of Rhineland-Palatinate, the district was dissolved on June 7, 1969. Most of it was combined with most of the Kirchheimbolanden district to form the new Donnersbergkreis . The communities Altenbamberg , Callbach , Duchroth , Ebernburg , Feilbingert , Hallgarten , Hochstätten , Lettweiler , Oberhausen an der Nahe , Odernheim am Glan and Rehborn came to the district of Bad Kreuznach and the community of Neuhemsbach to the district of Kaiserslautern.
