The first district of Heinsberg was a district in the administrative district of Aachen from 1816 to 1932 . With this he belonged first to the Prussian province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg and from 1822 to the Rhine province . His area today belongs to the much larger district of Heinsberg , which was newly founded in 1972 . The seat of the district administration was the city of Heinsberg .
Administrative history
The district of Heinsberg was essentially formed in 1816 from the canton of Heinsberg, which until 1813 belonged to the Arrondissement of Aachen in the French Département de la Roer . The circle was initially divided into 21 mayor's offices, which were established as Mairien during the French era .
With the introduction of the municipal code for the Rhine Province in 1845, some mayorships in the district were subdivided into several municipalities . In 1857, Heinsberg was given the Rhenish Town Code . The municipality of Oberbruch, which until then had belonged to the mayor's office of Heinsberg, was raised to its own mayor's office. In the same year, the mayor's offices Millen and Tüddern were incorporated into the Havert mayor's office. The new community Schierwaldenrath was formed in 1926 from parts of the community Waldfeucht . Since then, in the district of Heinsberg there have been 34 other communities in addition to the city of Heinsberg on an area of 234.9 km²:

Most of it was combined with the Geilenkirchen district, which was also founded in 1816, to form the new Geilenkirchen-Heinsberg district. The communities Arsbeck, Hilfarth, Myhl, Ratheim and Wildenrath came to the district of Erkelenz .
