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 Mutterstadt, established in 1798, belonged predominantly to the Electoral Palatinate , in addition the Speyer Monastery , the Count of Hallberg and the Count of Leiningen-Dagsburg had smaller parts of the canton in Possession.

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 . From 1798 to 1800 Gutmann served as justice of the peace for the canton in Oggersheim. The former Catholic clergyman Joseph Igna (t) z exercised the office of justice of the peace in Mutterstadt from 1800 to 1812. He was followed from 1812 to 1815 by the sworn canton interpreter Karl Friedrich Koch from Bouxville in the Bas Rhin department (Lower Alsace), based in Oggersheim. The canton of Mutterstadt belonged to the Speyer arrondissement in the Donnersberg department . The canton was divided into 17 municipalities, which were administered by twelve 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 Mutterstadt became part of the provisional Central Rhine General Government in February 1814 . After the Peace of Paris in May 1814, this Generalgouvernement was divided up in June 1814, the Donnersberg department was assigned to the newly formed Community Land Administration Commission , which was under the administration of Austria and Bavaria .

Bavarian canton of Mutterstadt

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 Mutterstadt initially belonged to the Frankenthal district administration in the newly created Rhine district. After the subdivision of the Rhine district into land commissioners (1818), the canton of Mutterstadt belonged to the Landkommissariat Speyer . Wilhelm Wolff resided as justice of the peace in Oggersheim and Mutterstadt, from 1816/1817 to 1845. During his tenure in 1825, the old canton prison in Oggersheim was replaced by the new prison in Mutterstadt. His successor Carl Joseph Falciola (1805–1866) from Lauterecken had from 1846 to 1860 his seat in Mutterstadt. In the revolutionary years of 1848/1949 Falciola was involved in the investigation of the events of the revolution. a. in Rheingönheim by interrogation of witnesses. The Rentamt, a financial authority superordinate to local taxpayers with a Rentamts district, remained in Oggersheim. The head of the rent office was the rent master. For ten years from 1817 to 1827 this was Samuel Erdmann, his successor for a short time in 1828 probably Peter Anton Bötz. From 1828 to 1859, Philipp Heinrich Joseph Pauli (1828–1881) was rent master for 31 years.

After 1817 a total of 17 municipalities belonged to the Bavarian canton of Mutterstadt:

Statistics from 1836 counted 18,269 inhabitants in the canton of Mutterstadt, of which 6,783 were Catholics, 10,712 Protestants, 215 Mennonites and 558 Jews.

In 1852, a district council and committee made up of representatives from the cantons was introduced for the canton of Mutterstadt as a district municipality, as well as for all other cantons in the Palatinate, for supra-local planning and administration (including the maintenance of the district roads).
