history

In the years after the Second World War , questions of the bare existence of the population, especially their diet, clothing and living space, required German local governments to be able to act quickly. After the first local elections on September 15 and October 13, 1946, the first municipal and district administrations as well as small municipal councils, city councils and district assemblies (district assemblies) were later able to work in the Rhineland-Palatinate area.

As a result, the need for a constant exchange of experience between the local authorities and an advisory participation of the districts, municipalities and cities in the state legislation that is now beginning in the new federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate became increasingly evident. Such independent umbrella organizations had existed in Germany since the end of the 19th century. The National Socialist Reich government in 1933 forced them to give up their independence and to be transferred to the top unified association of the German Community Association . It was dissolved by the Control Council Act No. 2 of October 10, 1945 .

The space for the formation of new municipal umbrella associations was created. The beginning was made by the German Association of Cities, for which Konrad Adenauer, as Lord Mayor of Cologne at the time, had already campaigned for its resurgence in 1945 . In the districts and the municipalities belonging to the district, the reestablishment of their municipal umbrella organizations was more difficult and took place at different times in the zones of occupation.

Zengerle, Oberkreisdirektor Kreis Bonn, informed District Administrator Hermann Josef Doetsch, Kreis Mayen, on September 25, 1947 that the colleagues in the British zone wanted an agreement between the districts in Rhineland-Palatinate and the other countries in the French zone The aim of a later connection to the German District Association to come about.

Hermann Josef Doetsch pushed the project further. Because most of his colleagues outside of his own administrative district were not known to him, he turned to the respective regional president with a request for names to be given. He received replies by post and then prepared the invitations to the founding meeting. The domain building of the state wine-growing domain Niederhausen-Schloßböckelheim in the then Kreuznach district was proposed as the conference venue. The Rhineland-Palatinate District Association was founded there on November 7, 1947. Hermann Schüling was elected first chairman.
