history

On April 30, 1816, the Bavarian King Maximilian Joseph I formally took possession of the area of ​​the Rhine district, which was later established, on the basis of an exchange agreement with the Austrian Emperor Franz I.

From the so-called French era , Bavaria in the Palatinate initially essentially adopted the administrative structure that had been in place since 1798. The newly created Rhine district was divided into four "district directorates", later also called "district directorates". The subordinate administrative levels of the cantons and mayor's offices , apart from minor area adjustments, remained in place.

The area of ​​the Landkommissariat Bergzabern belonged to the Donnersberg department (canton Annweiler) until 1814 and to the Niederrhein department (canton Bergzabern) until 1815 . After Bavaria took possession and the district directorates were set up, the area belonged to the Landau district directorate.

With effect from April 1, 1818, the districts of the previous four "Bezirks-Directionen" of the Rhine district were redistributed into twelve "Land Commissariats". The scope and responsibilities did not change. Albert Gugel , who until then had been the “District Directions Assessor” for Landau, was appointed “Land Commissary” . The Land Commissioner had an actuary , two clerks and a messenger at his disposal, and salaries and office costs were estimated at 3900 guilders per year.

On July 1, 1862, the state commissioners in the Palatinate received the designation "District Offices", from which in 1938 the districts emerged.
