history

The administrative area of ​​the mayor's office in Hennef was part of the Blankenberg office in the Duchy of Berg until the beginning of the 19th century , which opened up in 1806 in connection with the formation of the Rhine Confederation in the Grand Duchy of Berg . In 1808 the Mairie Hennef was formed by the French administration under Napoléon Bonaparte . The Mairie belonged to the canton of Hennef , Arrondissement Mülheim , Département Rhein in the Grand Duchy of Berg.

Based on the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Rhineland was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, administrative districts , districts and mayor's offices as well as associated communities were formed in 1816 . The mayor's office in Hennef initially belonged to the district of Uckerath in the administrative district of Cologne . In 1820 the Uckerath district was dissolved and added to the Siegburg district (from 1825 Siegkreis). In 1822 the district of Siegburg and with it the mayor's office of Hennef came to the then newly formed Rhine province . With the enactment of a municipal code for the Rhine Province in 1845, the municipalities administered by the mayor's office were legally recognized as local authorities with their own head and council .

After the First World War , the mayor's office was occupied by Allied soldiers. These remained until January 29, 1926.

Like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province, the Hennef mayor's office was renamed "Amt Hennef" in 1927. On April 1, 1934, the Hennef office was dissolved, and the two associated communities Blankenberg and Geistingen were merged to form the non-office community of Hennef .
