The district of Mainz , until 1938 district Mainz , was a district in the province of Rheinhessen in the Grand Duchy of Hesse or the People's State of Hesse and from 1946 in Rhineland-Palatinate . It was dissolved in 1969 and - with the exception of a few incorporations in Mainz - went up in the Mainz-Bingen district . The district seat was the city of Mainz, which belonged to the district until 1938.
Neighboring areas
Beginning in 1969, the district bordered clockwise in the northwest with the Rheingau district and the independent city of Wiesbaden in Hesse , the independent city of Mainz in Rhineland-Palatinate, the Groß-Gerau district in Hesse and the districts of Worms , Alzey and Bingen in Rhineland-Palatinate.
history
From 1798 to 1814 the areas to the left of the Rhine belonged to France , and from 1816 to the Grand Duchy of Hesse as part of the province of Rheinhessen . This was initially divided into 11 cantons that went back to the system of the French administration. Together with the provinces of Upper Hesse and Starkenburg , it represented the Grand Duchy of Hesse.
The Hessian province of Rheinhessen was divided into the four districts of Mainz, Alzey , Bingen and Worms by the grand ducal Hessian ordinance of February 5, 1835 . The Mainz district was created from the cantons of Mainz , Niederolm and Oppenheim . The city of Mainz became a separate urban district on February 16, 1835.
As a result of the March Revolution in 1848, the Grand Duchy of Hesse was temporarily divided into administrative districts ; the Mainz district merged into the Mainz administrative district .
By edict of May 12, 1852, Rheinhessen was now divided into five districts, in addition to the districts of Alzey, Bingen, Oppenheim and Worms, a new, smaller district of Mainz from the area of the justice districts of Mainz , Niederolm and from Oberingelheim the communities of Budenheim and Mombach ( but without Oppenheim ), which also included the city of Mainz. The division of the province of Rheinhessen into five districts (Alzey, Bingen, Mainz, Worms and Oppenheim), created in 1852, survived the transition from the Grand Duchy to the People's State of Hesse in 1918/19 and lasted for more than six decades. During the Nazi era , the provinces of Starkenburg, Upper Hesse and Rheinhessen were dissolved in 1937.
A radical territorial reform followed, which came into force on November 1, 1938. In Rheinhessen, the district of Oppenheim was dissolved, from which 23 communities moved to the district of Mainz, but the city of Mainz left the district of Mainz and became an independent city. At the same time, the district was given the new official name of the Mainz district .
The district of Mainz became part of Rhineland-Palatinate in the administrative district of Rheinhessen in 1946 and lasted until the administrative reform of 1969 .
In the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , the Mainz district was dissolved on June 7, 1969. The communities Drais , Ebersheim , Finthen , Hechtsheim , Laubenheim and Marienborn were incorporated into the independent city of Mainz . The remaining district area was merged with most of the dissolved district of Bingen to form the new district of Mainz-Bingen .
