history

The Canton was in the years 1798 to 1814 part of the First French Republic (1799-1804) and the First French Empire (1804-1814).

Before the annexation of the left bank of the Rhine in the First Coalition War , the administrative district of the Canton Mayen belonged mainly to the Mayen office in the Electorate of Trier . In statistics from 1808, school teachers are listed by name in all municipalities.

The canton president was Franz Peter Hartung, and the judge of the peace was Hermann Joseph Grieß.

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