history

As a result of the coalition wars and the Congress of Vienna , the state of Prussia , which had been granted considerable areas in western Germany by the Congress of Vienna, was reorganized in government and administration . Its provinces were divided into a total of 28 administrative districts by the ordinance of 30 April 1815 due to the improved establishment of the provincial authorities , one of which was the administrative district of Düsseldorf in the then province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg , which became part of the Rhine province in 1822. On April 22, 1816, the Royal Government began its work on Mühlenstrasse in Düsseldorf's old town - in the Statthalterpalais and, from 1824, in the former government building of the Grand Duchy of Berg . After just under six years, on June 22, 1822, the Kleve administrative district was merged with the Düsseldorf district. At the same time, the originally 18 districts were reduced to 13. On October 19, 1911, the Royal Government in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort moved into a new neo-baroque building on Cecilienallee , opposite what was then Kaiser-Wilhelm-Park . A reorganization of the government district resulted in the law on the municipal reorganization of the Rhenish-Westphalian industrial area on August 1, 1929. From March / April 1934 to February 1939, the Düsseldorf Stapo was located with the district president.
