The district of Sankt Goar was a district in Rhineland-Palatinate . It was established in 1816 as the Sankt Goar district after the Rhineland became Prussian. Administratively it belonged to the administrative district of Koblenz in the province of Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine (from 1822 Rhine Province ) and was divided into the mayorships of Bacharach , Boppard , Brodenbach , Halsenbach , Niederheimbach , Obergondershausen , Oberwesel , Pfalzfeld , Sankt Goar and Wiebelsheim . In total there were 74 communities in the district at first and 70 when it was dissolved.

The seat of the district was the small town of Sankt Goar , although Boppard , Oberwesel and Bacharach were significantly more populous.

geography

At the beginning of 1969 the district bordered clockwise in the north, beginning with the district of Koblenz and the Loreley district (both in Rhineland-Palatinate), the Rheingau district (in Hesse ) and the districts of Kreuznach , Simmern , Cochem and Mayen (all in turn in Rhineland-Palatinate ).

history

In 1945 the district came to the French occupation zone and in 1946 to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. In the 1960s the population was just over 50,000, of which around 82% were Catholic and 18% Protestant.

On June 7, 1969, the district of Sankt Goar was dissolved within the framework of the "Third State Law on Administrative Simplification in the State of Rhineland-Palatinate" (see regional reforms in Rhineland-Palatinate ) of November 12, 1968:

License Plate

After the end of World War II, RL (for Rhineland) from 1945 to 1948 and FR (for French Rhineland) from 1949 to 1956 was the official license plate. The code number 50 applied to the St. Goar district.

On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive sign GOA when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It was issued until June 6, 1969. Due to the license plate liberalization , it has been available in the Rhein-Hunsrück district since November 15, 2012 .
