history

The communities in the mayor's district of Sohren belonged to four different territories at the end of the 18th century , the majority of which was in the Vordere Grafschaft Sponheim . In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine . Under French administration, the area belonged to the arrondissement Simmern ( cantons Kirchberg and Trarbach ) from 1798 to 1814 , which was assigned to the Rhine-Moselle department . Rödelhausen belonged to the arrondissement of Koblenz ( canton of Zell ). After the Peace of Paris (1814), the region was initially subordinated to the Joint State Administration Commission based in Kreuznach , which was under the administration of Austria and Bavaria .

Sohren Mayor's Office

Seal of the Sohren Mayor's Office

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Rhine-Moselle department was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, administrative districts and districts were newly formed in 1816 . The mayor's office in Sohren was assigned to the Zell district and the Koblenz district (then "Coblenz district") in the Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine Province (1822 Rhine Province ). The Mayor's Office Sohren essentially comprised the two previous Mairies Sohren and Trarbach.

The communities Altlay, Bärenbach, Belg, Büchenbeuren, Lautzenhausen, Laufersweiler, Niedersohren, Niederweiler, Sohren and Wahlenau belonged to the Mairie Sohren; Laufersweiler was spun off and came to the Kirchberg mayor's office in the Simmern district . Beuren, Hahn, Hirschfeld, Irmenach (with Thalkleinich), Lötzbeuren, Raversbeuren, Starkenburg, Traben and Trarbach belonged to Mairie Trarbach; the city of Trarbach and the communities Starkenburg and Traben and were assigned to the Trarbach mayor in the Zell district. In addition, the municipality of Würrich was assigned to the Mayor's office of Sohren by the Mairie Nieder Kostenz and the municipality of Rödelhausen by the Mairie Blankenrath in the canton of Zell .

The administrative seat was initially in the eponymous municipality of Sohren. In 1852 the mayor's office was relocated from Sohren to Büchenbeuren, the name "Mayor's office Sohren" was retained.

Sohren Office, Büchenbeuren Office

Like all mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , the Sohren mayor's office was renamed “ Amt Sohren” in 1927, and in 1939 it was renamed “Amt Büchenbeuren”. With regard to the associated municipalities, there were no changes until 1968, compared to 1816.

Verbandsgemeinde Büchenbeuren

In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform in 1968, all offices in the administrative districts of Koblenz and Trier were converted into association communities . The Büchenbeuren community was temporarily formed from the Büchenbeuren office. The local communities Altlay, Bärenbach, Belg, Beuren, Büchenbeuren, Hahn, Hirschfeld, Irmenach, Lautzenhausen, Lötzbeuren, Niedersohren, Niederweiler, Raversbeuren, Rödelhausen, Sohren, Thalkleinich, Wahlenau and Würrich belonged to the association. The municipality of Thalkleinich was incorporated into Kleinich in 1969 in the form of a new formation and changed to the Verbandsgemeinde Bernkastel (now the Verbandsgemeinde Bernkastel-Kues ) in the district of Bernkastel-Wittlich .

In 1970 the community of Büchenbeuren was dissolved on the basis of the “Eighth State Law on Administrative Simplification in the State of Rhineland-Palatinate”. The associated communities, as well as the communities of the community of Gemünden , were essentially assigned to the community of Kirchberg in the newly formed district of Simmern . The municipalities of Kirchberg and Gemünden filed a constitutional complaint against this decision and against this law at the Rhineland-Palatinate Constitutional Court in Koblenz , which was rejected in 1971.

The local communities of Beuren , Irmenach and Lötzbeuren moved in 1970 to the Traben-Trarbach community in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district , and the Altlay community to the Zell (Mosel) community in the Cochem-Zell district .
