The district of Bonn was a district in the administrative district of Cologne from 1816 to 1969 . With this he belonged first to the Prussian province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg , from 1822 to the Rhine province and from 1946 to North Rhine-Westphalia . Until the city of Bonn was spun off in 1887 , which was still the seat of the district administration for the entire time , the administrative unit was called the district of Bonn .

Neighboring areas

At the beginning of 1969 the district bordered in a clockwise direction in the west, starting with the districts of Euskirchen and Cologne , the Siegkreis , the independent city of Bonn (all in North Rhine-Westphalia) and the districts of Neuwied and Ahrweiler (both in Rhineland-Palatinate ).

Administrative history

In its parts on the left bank of the Rhine , the district arose from the cantons of Bonn internal and Bonn external in the arrondissement de Bonn in the Rhine-Moselle department and the canton Brühl in the arrondissement de Cologne in the Rur department , which were set up during the affiliation to France from 1798 to 1814 . To the right of the Rhine, the former Mairie Vilich was added, previously part of the canton of Königswinter in the arrondissement of Mülheim am Rhein , which belonged to the Rhine department in the French-ruled Grand Duchy of Berg , which existed from 1806 to 1813 .

The newly formed district in 1816 was initially divided into nine mayor's offices :

With the introduction of the municipal code for the Rhine Province in 1845, most of the mayor's offices in the district were divided into several municipalities . Since then, the Bonn district has been structured as follows:

Offices and municipalities not subject to office in the Bonn district (1968)

Bonn received the Rhenish City Code in 1856 and left the Bonn district as a new urban district in 1887 , which has since been referred to as the district . The District Office (later Kreishaus ) was located since 1892 in a newly constructed building in Bonn Weststadt (Mozartstraße 10) and expanded later to the neighboring houses (Mozart 4-10) from.

In 1899, Plittersdorf and Rüngsdorf were incorporated into Godesberg; 1904 also Friesdorf. In 1904, Dottendorf, Endenich, Kessenich and Poppelsdorf were also incorporated into Bonn. The remaining communities of the Poppelsdorf mayor have since formed the Duisdorf mayor . In 1915 Muffendorf was also incorporated into Godesberg.

The mayor's office and municipality of Vilich was renamed Beuel in 1922 . Since October 1, 1926, Godesberg was officially called Bad Godesberg . As in the entire Rhine Province, the mayor's offices were renamed in 1927 .

As part of a major regional reform on October 1, 1932, the majority of the dissolved Rheinbach district was added to the Bonn district, which in turn surrendered the Keldenich and Wesseling communities to the Cologne district . The following came to the district of Bonn:

On May 7, 1934, the Waldorf Office was renamed to Bornheim Office . In the same year Pissenheim was renamed Werthhoven . There were further reorganizations in 1935:

  • Lannesdorf and Mehlem were incorporated into Bad Godesberg.
  • Bad Godesberg received city rights.
  • The Adendorf office was renamed the Meckenheim office .
  • Bornheim-Brenig, Kardorf-Hemmerich, Roisdorf and Waldorf were merged to form the new Bornheim community.
  • Hersel, Uedorf, Widdig and Urfeld were merged to form the new municipality of Hersel.
  • Merten, Rösberg, Sechtem and Walberberg were merged to form the new municipality of Sechtem.
  • The enlarged communities Bornheim, Hersel and Sechtem formed the Bornheim office since then.
  • The offices of Hersel and Sechtem were abolished.

In 1937 the Oedekoven office was dissolved and its communities assigned to the Duisdorf office. On August 24, 1952, the municipality of Beuel received city rights. From 1955 to 1957, a new district building was built near the old one at the corner of Bachstrasse and Wittelsbacher Ring. The Ollheim office was renamed the Ludendorf office in 1961 .

On August 1, 1969, the Bonn / Siegkreis area was fundamentally restructured by the Bonn Act . The district of Bonn was dissolved along with all of its offices. The cities of Bad Godesberg and Beuel and the communities of Buschdorf, Duisdorf, Ippendorf, Lengsdorf, Lessenich and Röttgen were merged with the previous city of Bonn and other communities in the Siegkreis to form the new city of Bonn. The Urfeld district of the municipality of Hersel was incorporated into the municipality of Wesseling, district of Cologne, the other cities and municipalities to the new cities of Rheinbach and Meckenheim and the new municipalities of Alfter, Bornheim, Swisttal and Wachtberg and incorporated into the Siegkreis, which has since then Rhein-Sieg-Kreis is called.
