history

The Verbandsgemeinde Gerolstein came into being as part of the Rhineland-Palatinate functional and territorial reform carried out in the second half of the 1960s and early 1970s from the Gerolstein Office, which had existed since 1927 . On October 1, 1968, all 132 offices in the administrative districts of Koblenz and Trier , including the Gerolstein office, were converted into association municipalities on the basis of the “State Law to Change Local Constitutional Regulations and Prepare for the Reorganization of Municipalities” of July 16, 1968 .

In 1968 the municipality of Gerolstein included the town of Gerolstein and the local communities of Berlingen, Betteldorf, Bewingen, Büscheich, Gees, Hinterhausen, Hinterweiler, Hohenfels-Essingen, Kalenborn-Scheuen, Lissingen, Michelbach, Müllenborn, Neroth, Pelm, Rockeskyll, Roth and Salm.

In a further step of the territorial reform, the "eighth state law on administrative simplification in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate" of July 28, 1970, the association communities in the Daun district were newly formed with effect from November 7, 1970. The following communities were assigned to the new Gerolstein association:

  • from the previous community of Gerolstein, the town of Gerolstein and the local communities of Berlingen, Büscheich, Gees, Hohenfels-Essingen, Kalenborn-Schänen, Michelbach, Müllenborn, Neroth, Pelm, Rockeskyll, Roth and Salm,
  • from the dissolved community of Birresborn ( district of Prüm ) the communities of Birresborn, Densborn, Kopp and Mürlenbach,
  • from the previous association municipality of Prüm-Land (district of Prüm) the municipalities of Duppach and Oos.

The new Verbandsgemeinde Gerolstein became the legal successor to the dissolved Verbandsgemeinden Gerolstein and Birresborn. The city of Gerolstein remained the administrative seat.

Before the new community was formed, the communities Bewingen, Hinterhausen and Lissingen were incorporated into Gerolstein on June 7, 1969. The communities of Betteldorf and Hinterweiler were assigned to the Daun community.

On January 1, 2019, the municipalities of Gerolstein, Hillesheim and Obere Kyll merged to form the new municipality of Gerolstein .
