history
The Verbandsgemeinde Wallhalben was re-established in 1972, like all the association communities in the then administrative district Rheinhessen-Pfalz , on the basis of the “Thirteenth State Law on Administrative Simplification in the State of Rhineland-Palatinate”. Until then, the administrative structures from the Palatinate (1816–1946) existed.
With the aim of improving the efficiency, competitiveness and administrative power of municipal structures, the state government passed the “First Law on Local and Administrative Reform ” on September 28, 2010 . With regard to the municipalities, it was determined that they should include at least 12,000 inhabitants (main residence on June 30, 2009), otherwise they should be amalgamated with neighboring municipalities by the 2014 local elections. The community of Wallhalben had 7,537 inhabitants on the reference date. The so-called voluntary phase ended on June 30, 2012. A voluntary association did not come about within this period.
In the “State law on the formation of the new Thaleischweiler-Fröschen - Wallhalben community” of December 20, 2013, the dissolution of the Thaleischweiler-Fröschen and Wallhalben community was decreed on July 1, 2014. From their total of 20 communities, a new community community with the provisional name "Verbandsgemeinde Thaleischweiler-Fröschen - Wallhalben" was formed on the same day.
The Verbandsgemeinde Wallhalben filed a legal review application to the Constitutional Court of Rhineland-Palatinate against the merger because it saw its municipal guarantee of self-government violated. In November 2015, the Constitutional Court ruled that the formation of the Thaleischweiler-Fröschen - Wallhalben community was constitutional.
On January 1, 2016, it was renamed the Verbandsgemeinde Thaleischweiler-Wallhalben .
