Mairie Sinzig
The Mairie Sinzig was an administrative unit in the canton of Remagen , one of nine cantons in the Bonn arrondissement in the Rhine-Mosel department . After the French occupation of the Rhineland, the Sinzig-Remagen office was dissolved and a new administrative structure was created. The Mairie Sinzig was from 1798 to 1814 part of the First French Republic (1799-1804) and then the First French Empire (1804-1814).
history
Until 1797 the occupied country was under the military administration, which carried out seizures and billeting. Then a civil administration was set up under the General Commissioner Joseph Lakanal in Mainz , which created the following administrative hierarchy: Department - Arrondissement - Canton - Mairie. The Mairie Sinzig was made up of five communities: Franconia , Koisdorf , Löhndorf , Sinzig and Westum . In 1801, in the Peace of Lunéville, the French-occupied Rhineland was ceded with binding international law.
