History and Development

Ringen was the main town of a Dingstuhl in the County of Neuenahr , which was an office within the Duchy of Jülich from 1545 to the end of the 18th century . The villages of Beller and Bölingen also belonged to the Dingstuhl Ringen; it comprised a district of 983  ha and in 1767 had 294 inhabitants. After the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops (1794) and the introduction of the French administrative structures (1798), the town eponymous main town was Mairie rings that the Remagen canton belonged.

After the agreements reached at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the region became part of the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, the former Mairie Ringen belonged to the district of Ahrweiler in the administrative district of Koblenz from 1816 as mayor . In 1818 it was dissolved and the municipalities assigned to it were divided between the mayor offices of Ahrweiler and Gelsdorf ; the community of Ringen came to the mayor's office Gelsdorf. From 1863 the seat of the mayor's office was in Ringen, so that the mayor's office - renamed to “Amt” in 1927 like all rural mayor's offices in the Rhine Province - was named “Amt Ringen” in 1936. This existed until 1968, when in the course of the local reform from the office of Ringen the Verbandsgemeinde Ringen with its administrative seat in Ringen was formed. On March 16, 1974, the Verbandsgemeinde was dissolved and all associated communities except for Kalenborn were merged to form the new association-free community Grafschaft. With this, the community of Ringen also lost its independence; The district of Ringen was established for its former area .

  • At the beginning of the 20th century, a railway station and embankments were built for the strategic railway embankment with the branch towards Remagen, and underpasses and bridges were completed. Although the route was never expanded, the name of Bahnhofstrasse has been preserved to this day.
  • Running largely on the old railway line, the A 61 has been passing directly north since 1970 .
  • Since the 1990s, a large industrial park has been built in the Beller district to the north of the autobahn, in which Haribo and a new plant have been established after a freeway junction was completed . The headquarters of the Haribo Group have been located in Ringen since 2018.
  • In 2016, the catering company L&D relocated its headquarters to Ringen.
