history

Before the annexation of the Left Bank of the Rhine in the French Revolutionary Wars (1794), the localities in the administrative district of the canton of Göllheim, established in 1798, belonged mainly to the Electoral Palatinate and the Principality of Nassau-Weilburg , two villages belonged to the Leiningers and one village was a knighthood .

The administration of the Left Bank of the Rhine was reorganized by the French directorate in 1798 based on the French model. a. a division into cantons has been adopted. The cantons were also district courts of justice . The canton of Göllheim belonged to the arrondissement of Kaiserslautern in the Donnersberg department . The canton was divided into 17 municipalities, which were administered by seven Mairies .

After the Allies regained possession of the Left Bank of the Rhine in January 1814, the Donnersberg department and thus also the canton of Göllheim became part of the provisional Central Rhine General Government in February 1814 . After the Peace of Paris in May 1814, this General Government was split up in June 1814, and the Donnersberg department was assigned to the newly formed Community Provincial Administration Commission , which was under the administration of Austria and Bavaria .

Bavarian Canton of Göllheim

Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna , the area became part of Austria in June 1815 . The joint Austrian-Bavarian administration was retained for the time being. On April 14, 1816, a state treaty was signed between Austria and Bavaria in which an exchange of different national territories was agreed. The Austrian areas on the left bank of the Rhine were ceded to the Kingdom of Bavaria on May 1, 1816 .

The Bavarian canton of Göllheim initially belonged to the Kaiserslautern district directorate in the newly created Rhine district. After the subdivision of the Rhine district into land commissioners (1818), the canton of Göllheim belonged to the land commissioner Kirchheim .

After 1817 a total of 18 municipalities belonged to the Bavarian canton of Göllheim:

Statistics compiled in 1836 counted 9,973 inhabitants in the canton of Göllheim, of which 3,400 were Catholics, 5,978 Protestants, 270 Mennonites and 325 Jews.

In 1852, the canton of Göllheim, like all cantons in the Palatinate, was converted into a district municipality.
