About this picture

The Loreleykreis , originally Sankt Goarshausen (until 1938) or Sankt Goarshausen (1939–1961), was a district in what is now Rhineland-Palatinate , which existed from 1886 to 1969. The county seat was Sankt Goarshausen .

geography

At the beginning of 1969, the district bordered clockwise in the north, beginning with the Unterwesterwaldkreis and the Unterlahnkreis (both in Rhineland-Palatinate), the Untertaunuskreis and the Rheingaukreis (both in Hesse ) as well as the districts of Sankt Goar and Koblenz and the independent city of Koblenz ( all in turn in Rhineland-Palatinate).

history

The Sankt Goarshausen district was founded on April 1, 1886. With this reform, the districts established in 1866 in the area of ​​the former Duchy of Nassau were to be reduced in size. The district of Sankt Goarshausen consisted of the former offices of St. Goarshausen and Braubach , which were spun off from the Rheingau district , and the western part of the former office of Naststätten , which was removed from the Unterlahn district .

The municipality of Becheln moved on October 1, 1932 from the Unterlahnkreis to the Sankt Goarshausen district.

Until 1945, the district was part of the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau and its administrative district of Wiesbaden . From 1946 it belonged to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate as the district of Sankt Goarshausen . The district of Sankt Goarshausen was renamed the Loreley district in 1962 . As a result of the district reform that came into force on June 7, 1969, the Loreley district and the Unterlahn district were merged to form the Rhein-Lahn district .
