District of Gladbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district of Gladbach , until 1888 district of Gladbach , was from April 24, 1816 to August 1, 1929 a district in the administrative district of Düsseldorf in the Rhine province . It included parts of today's cities of Mönchengladbach , Viersen , Willich and Korschenbroich . The district administrator had his seat in the city of Gladbach . In 1888 the city then called Munich-Gladbach was spun off from the district and formed its own urban district. In 1907 the Rheydt district was established .

Administrative history

After it was founded in 1816, the district initially consisted of the mayorships of Dahlen, Gladbach, Kleinenbroich, Klein-Kempen, Korschenbroich, Liedberg, Obergeburth, Oberniedergeburth, Odenkirchen, Rheydt, Schelsen, Schiefbahn, Unterstiedergeburth and Viersen. The mayor's offices were the direct successors of the Mairien established in the French era .

The mayor's office in Klein-Kempen was reclassified to the neighboring Krefeld district in 1819; at the same time, the Neersen mayor's office moved from the Krefeld district to the Gladbach district. In 1835 the administrative structure around the city of Munich-Gladbach was comprehensively reformed:

  • The new Hardt mayor was formed from parts of the Gladbach mayor's office .
  • The Obergeburth mayor's office was incorporated into the Gladbach mayor's office.
  • The new mayor's office Neuwerk was formed from the mayor's office in Unterstiedergeburth and part of the mayor's office in Oberniedergeburth .
  • The remaining part of the Oberniedergeburth mayor's office came to the Gladbach mayor's office.

In 1845, the municipal code for the Rhine Province gave all places that had their own households the status of a municipality. In 1859, the city of Munich-Gladbach received the Rhenish City Code . In addition, the rural community of Munich-Gladbach continued, which was also called Obergeburth . Dahlen was renamed Rheindahlen in 1878 . Since then, the circle has been structured as follows:

In 1888 the city of Munich-Gladbach left the district and formed its own urban district. Since then, the district of Gladbach has been called the district of Gladbach . Rheydt became an independent city on April 1, 1907 and also left the district. The municipality of Obergeburth was renamed Munich-Gladbach-Land on July 15, 1907 . On August 1, 1921, the municipalities of Munich-Gladbach-Land, Neuwerk and Rheindahlen were merged with the city of Munich-Gladbach.

With the law on the municipal reorganization of the Rhenish-Westphalian industrial area of August 1, 1929, the district of Gladbach was dissolved:

  • Giesenkirchen, Hardt, Odenkirchen and Schelsen were combined with the independent cities of Munich-Gladbach and Rheydt to form the independent city of Gladbach-Rheydt .
  • Viersen became its own urban district.
  • Kleinenbroich, Korschenbroich, Liedberg and Pesch came to the district of Grevenbroich-Neuss .
  • Schiefbahn and Neersen came to the Kempen-Krefeld district .

The city of Gladbach-Rheydt was dissolved again in 1933 and separated into the two independent cities of Munich-Gladbach and Rheydt.
