District Office Rüdesheim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district office of Rüdesheim (also district of Rüdesheim ) was a district in the Duchy of Nassau from 1849 to 1854, with its seat in Rüdesheim am Rhein .

After the March Revolution in 1848, the administration was reorganized. By law of April 4, 1849, administration and jurisdiction were separated at a lower level in Nassau. The reform came into effect on July 1, 1849. 10 district offices were established for administration, the offices continued as judicial offices (i.e. courts of first instance).

The Rüdesheim district office was formed from the previous offices in Rüdesheim , St. Goarshausen and Eltville and was responsible for administrative tasks. The jurisdiction in the lowest instance remained in the offices, which were now called justice offices. At the head of the district office stood a district administrator (that was the name of the district administrator ) with a district secretary as a representative. Moritz Carl Christian Philipp von Gagern was appointed district administrator in Rüdesheim . In addition to the appointed district administrator, an elected district council was set up for the first time.

The question of the district office was discussed controversially in the meeting of the estates . Geisenheim and Kaub (Kaub had lost the customs authority and therefore had a large vacant building) were proposed as alternatives . However, the parliament decided with 26 votes in favor of Rüdesheim.

However, the reform was reversed on October 1, 1854, the districts abolished and the previous offices restored.
