Gummersbach district
The district of Gummersbach was from 1825 to 1932 a Prussian district in the administrative district of Cologne of the Rhine province . Today his area belongs to the Oberbergischer Kreis .
Administrative history
The two Prussian districts of Gimborn and Homburg , founded in 1816, have been administered by a joint district administration in Gummersbach since 1819 . In 1825 both districts were merged to form the district of Gummersbach .
After the introduction of the municipal code for the Rhine Province in 1845, all of the district's mayor 's offices, with the exception of Neustadt's mayor, each formed a municipality. The Neustadt mayor's office consisted of the three independent municipalities of Lieberhausen , Neustadt and Wiedenest .
In 1857 Gummersbach was given the Rhenish City Code . Neustadt was also given the Rhenish Town Code in 1858; Lieberhausen and Wiedenest have since formed the Neustadt-Land mayor's office. In 1884 Neustadt was renamed Bergneustadt . At the end of the 19th century, the Gummersbach district was structured as follows:
Mayorry | Parishes (1885) |
---|---|
Bergneustadt city | Bergneustadt (city) |
Bergneustadt-Land | Lieberhausen , Wiedenest |
Drabenderhöhe | Drabenderhöhe |
Gimborn | Gimborn |
Gummersbach | Gummersbach (City) |
Marienberghausen | Marienberghausen |
Marienheide | Marienheide |
Nümbrecht | Nümbrecht |
Ründeroth | Ründeroth |
Wiehl | Wiehl |
The area of the district in 1885 covered an area of 325.42 km². As in the entire Rhine Province, the district's mayorships were transferred to offices in 1927 . The two communities Lieberhausen and Wiedenest were merged on January 1, 1929 to form a new community Lieberhausen. On October 1, 1932, the Gummersbach district was merged with most of the Waldbröl district to form the Oberbergischer Kreis . The Dattenfeld office (today's municipality of Windeck ) came from the Waldbröl district to the Siegkreis .
