The latter was replaced in 1856 by the mayor's office Bickendorf (from 1927 office), which was merged with four offices in the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate municipal reform in 1970 to form the Verbandsgemeinde Bitburg-Land . Since July 1, 2014, the municipality has been part of the Bitburger Land association.
