Mayor (1805 to 1868)

With the loss of imperial freedom and the annexation to Prussia in 1802, there were initially no major changes. It was not until 1805 that the tradition of dual leadership among mayors and the previous division of councils was abolished. Since then, only one mayor can be proven. In addition, the Jordan city chronicle mentions for this year that “a major change has taken place with the old imperial council”, in which a large part of the previous councilors were retired.
