history

The origins of the Verbandsgemeinde Rhens go back to the time of the French annexation of the Left Bank of the Rhine after 1794, when the Mairie Rhens, an administrative unit encompassing the surrounding municipalities with Rhens as the center, was set up for the first time in the canton of Boppard . In addition to Rhens, this also included Waldesch , Brey , the municipalities of Niederpay and Oberspay , which today belong to Spay , as well as Udenhausen and Capellen .

After the Rhineland was slammed into Prussia at the Congress of Vienna , these French administrative structures were dissolved. Rhens, Waldesch and Capellen became part of the Koblenz-Land mayor in the Koblenz-Land district , Brey and Spay became part of the Boppard-Land mayor in the St. Goar district . Udenhausen became part of the mayor's office in Halsenbach . In 1927 the term mayor's office was changed to office.

By order of the Koblenz district president on June 28, 1937, the Koblenz-Land office was dissolved at the end of June 30, 1937 and the Rhens office was formed from the municipalities of Rhens, Waldesch and Kapellen-Stolzenfels, with its official seat in Rhens. Brey and Spay remained part of the Boppard office.

As part of the regional and administrative reform in 1969 - since 1968 the term "Amtsverwaltung" was replaced by " Verbandsgemeindeverwaltung " - was replaced by the Fifth State Law on Administrative Simplification in Rhineland-Palatinate of February 14, 1969 with effect from June 7 1969 the municipality of Kapellen-Stolzenfels dissolved and incorporated into the area of ​​the city ​​of Koblenz . Likewise, with the dissolution of the St. Goar district , the municipalities of Brey and Spay were released from the Boppard district and incorporated into the Koblenz district.

By the eighth state law of July 28, 1970, the Verbandsgemeinde Rhens was newly formed from the communities Brey, Rhens, Spay and Waldesch with effect from November 7, 1970.

The seat of the municipal administration was in the city of Rhens, which is designated as a basic center for spatial planning .

Since the Verbandsgemeinde Rhens, with its population of less than 9,000, was affected by the new municipal and administrative reform of September 2010, which provided for the dissolution of Verbandsgemeinde of less than 12,000 inhabitants, the Verbandsgemeinde Rhens began merger talks with the Association of Untermosel in order to anticipate a forced merger. The merger to form the new Rhein-Mosel community was completed on July 1, 2014. Its main administrative headquarters are in Kobern-Gondorf , and a separate administrative office has been set up in Rhens.

Before the merger with the Lower Mosel community was decided, a connection to the city of Koblenz or the city of Boppard was discussed. However, both would have affected county boundaries and impaired the ability of local churches to make sovereign decisions.
