history

The communities in the mayoral district of Bacharach belonged to the Electoral Palatinate ( Oberamt Bacharach ) from the Middle Ages until the end of the 18th century . In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the left bank of the Rhine . Under French administration, the area belonged to the Arrondissement Simmern ( Canton Bacharach ) from 1798 to 1814 , which was assigned to the Rhine-Moselle department . 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 .

Bacharach Mayor's Office

As a result of the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Rhine-Moselle Department , including the previous Oberamt Bacharach, 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 Bacharach was assigned to the Sankt Goar district and the Koblenz district (then "Coblenz district") in the Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine province (1822 Rhine province ). On the left bank of the Rhine , Prussia generally retained the administrative districts of the French Mairies for the time being. The administrative district of the mayor's office in Boppard corresponded to that of the previous Mairie Bacharach.

The hamlet of Breitscheid was initially assigned to the municipality of Steeg and was spun off from it as an independent municipality in 1833. After the city ​​regulations for the Rhine Province had been introduced in Bacharach in 1857 , the Bacharach mayor's office was divided into a city and a country mayor's office, which, however, was initially administered by a single mayor. After the First World War at the latest, the administrations of the city of Bacharach and the mayor's office of Bacharach-Land were separated again.

Like all mayor's offices in the Rhine Province, the mayor's office in Bacharach-Land was renamed to Amt Bacharach-Land in 1927 . In 1938 the city of Bacharach and the offices of Bacharach-Land and Niederheimbach were merged under the name of "Amt Bacharach". This included the city of Bacharach until 1968 , the municipalities Breitscheid , Manubach , Oberdiebach and Steeg from the Bacharach-Land office and the municipalities Niederheimbach , Oberheimbach and Trechtingshausen from the Niederheimbach office .

Association municipality of Bacharach

In the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate functional and territorial reform in 1968, the Bacharach office became part of the Bacharach community. In 1969, the communities belonging to the Bacharach association were separated from the Sankt Goar district, which was dissolved at the same time, and incorporated into the newly formed Mainz-Bingen district. In 1970 the municipalities of Bacharach and Bingerbrück were dissolved and merged to form the Verbandsgemeinde Bingen-Land (since 1986 Verbandsgemeinde Rhein-Nahe ).
