Rheinbach district

Location of the Rheinbach district (1905)

The Rheinbach district was a district in the Cologne administrative district from 1816 to 1932 . With this he first belonged to the Prussian province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg and from 1822 to the Rhine province . The former district area is now part of the Rhein-Sieg district and the Euskirchen district .

Administrative history

The district of Rheinbach emerged from the canton of Rheinbach in the arrondissement of Bonn in the Rhin-et-Moselle department , which was established during the affiliation to France (1798 to 1814) . The district was initially divided into the six mayor's offices of Adendorf, Kuchenheim, Münstereifel, Ollheim and Rheinbach, which were founded as Mairien during the French era .

In 1845, the municipal code for the Rhine Province gave all places that had their own households the status of a municipality. Münstereifel was given the Rhenish City Council in 1856 , as was Rheinbach in 1862. Both mayor's offices were divided into city and country mayor offices. The Rheinbach district has since been structured as follows:

Mayorry	Parishes (1865)

Rheinbach city	Rheinbach

In 1885 the area of the district covered an area of 396.92 km². As in the entire Rhine Province, the district mayor's offices were transferred to offices in 1927 . The district was dissolved on October 1, 1932:

The city of Münstereifel, the offices of Münstereifel-Land and Kuchenheim as well as the municipalities of Müggenhausen, Straßfeld and Esch (today's Dom-Esch) from the Ollheim office, a total of 24 municipalities, came to the Euskirchen district .
The city of Rheinbach, the offices of Adendorf and Rheinbach-Land and the office of Ollheim without the municipalities of Müggenhausen, Straßfeld and Esch, a total of 26 municipalities, came to the district of Bonn .
Legal successor to the Rheinbach district was the Bonn district.

As part of the municipal reorganization in 1969 by the Bonn Act , the areas that came to the district of Bonn and the municipality of Straßfeld were incorporated into the Siegkreis , which has since been called the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis .
