Canton Andernach

The canton Andernach (French: Canton d'Andernach ) was one of twelve administrative units into which the arrondissement of Koblenz in the Rhine-Mosel department was divided. The Canton was in the years 1798 to 1814 of the French Republic (1799-1804) and the French Empire (1804-1814). The main town ( chief lieu ) was Andernach .

The canton was also a district court of justice .

Before the occupation of the Left Bank of the Rhine in the First Coalition War , the administrative district of the canton Andernach belonged mainly to the Electorate of Cologne , partly to the Electorate of Trier and smaller territories.

In 1814 the Rhine-Moselle department and with it the canton Andernach temporarily became part of the Generalgouvernements Mittelrhein and came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna . Under the Prussian administration of the Canton Andernach went in 1816 the newly formed district Mayen in Koblenz on.
