The canton Lauterecken (French: Canton de Lauterecken ) was one of eight administrative units into which the Arrondissement Kaiserslautern (French: Arrondissement de Kayserslautern ) in the Donnersberg department (French: Département du Mont-Tonnerre ) was divided. The Canton was in the years 1798 to 1814 of the French Republic (1798-1804) and the Napoleonic Empire (1804-1814). The main town ( chef-lieu ) and administrative seat was Lauterecken .

After the Palatinate became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 , the cantons, some of which had changed territorial status , were initially retained and were part of the administrative structure until 1852.

The administrative area of ​​the canton Lauterecken was mainly in today's Kusel district , three municipalities in the Bad Kreuznach district in Rhineland-Palatinate .

history

Before the occupation of the Left Bank of the Rhine in the French Revolutionary Wars (1794), the localities in the administrative district of the canton Lauterecken, established in 1798, belonged to five different territories , with the Duchy of Pfalz-Zweibrücken , the Electoral Palatinate and the Rhine County having the largest shares .

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 Lauterecken belonged to the arrondissement of Kaiserslautern in the department of Donnersberg . The canton was divided into 21 municipalities, which were administered by four Mairies .

After the Allies regained possession of the Left Bank of the Rhine in January 1814, the Donnersberg department and with it the Lauterecken canton 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 Lauterecken

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 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 Lauterecken in the newly created Rhine district initially belonged to the Kaiserslautern district directorate. After the subdivision of the Rhine district into land commissioners (1818), the canton Lauterecken belonged to the Landkommissariat Kusel .

After 1817 a total of 21 municipalities belonged to the Bavarian canton of Lauterecken:

Statistics compiled in 1836 counted 8,841 inhabitants in the canton of Lauterecken, of which 1,575 were Catholics, 7,029 Protestants, 16 Mennonites and 221 Jews.

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