The urban district of Frankfurt am Main (official name Prussian city district Frankfurt a. M. ) was an urban county in the Prussian administrative district of Wiesbaden in the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau . It comprised the area of the former free city of Frankfurt and consisted of the city area and the villages belonging to the free city (land area). From 1886 the urban district was identical to the urban area.
location
The city district bordered in the west on the Mainkreis (district of Wiesbaden), which also belonged to the administrative district of Wiesbaden. The neighbor in the east and north was the district of Hanau in the administrative district of Kassel . In the north, the district also bordered the Grand Ducal Hessian province of Upper Hesse , and in the south and east on the Hessian province of Starkenburg .
history
By ordinance of February 22, 1867, the Wiesbaden administrative district was created and divided into 12 districts, including the Frankfurt a. M. The urban district was formed from the previous urban and rural areas of the former free city of Frankfurt, with the addition of the part of the Nieder-Ursel district that had previously been under Grand Ducal Hessian sovereignty . The former Frankfurt rural communities Nieder-Erlenbach and Dortelweil had been ceded to the Grand Duchy of Hesse.
The municipal constitution law for Frankfurt a. M. of March 25, 1867 guaranteed the municipality self-government ( its affairs according to the more detailed provisions of this law ) and introduced the magistrate's constitution (magistrate; assembly of city councils with 54 members) in Frankfurt. The first elections to the city council took place in November 1868 (Section 88 (2) sentence 2 of the law). The area of the municipality was to be divided into local districts; the magistrate appointed a district head and his deputy for each district (section 67 of the law). The district president in Wiesbaden exercised the supervision of the municipality (§ 73 of the law).
However, the law only applied to the area of the municipality of Frankfurt including Sachsenhausen and its district (Section 1 of the law); the rural communities of Bonames, Hausen, Niederrad, Oberrad, Niederursel-Frankfurter Antheil, which were still in the area of the urban district, were not subject to the municipal constitution law. In 1886 the district of Frankfurt was formed, which also included areas other than the Frankfurt rural communities: the formerly grand-ducal-Hessian part of the Niederursel district, the formerly grand-ducal-Hessian district of Rödelheim, from the Höchst district the former Nassau district of Heddernheim - and the largest Brocken - from the previous Hanau district, the city of Bockenheim and the communities of Eckenheim , Eschersheim , Ginnheim , Praunheim , and Preungesheim , Berkersheim and Seckbach .
On January 1, 1877 Bornheim was incorporated into Frankfurt. During the district reform of 1886, the remaining rural communities were incorporated into the new district of Frankfurt . From that point on, the urban district of Frankfurt am Main consisted only of the city of Frankfurt am Main.
