The Bürgermeisterei Weyerbusch ("Mayoralty of Weyerbusch") was one of the nine Prussian Bürgermeistereien or mayoralties, into which the county of Altenkirchen, created in 1816 as part of the Regierungsbezirk Coblenz was administratively divided. The mayoralty had 25 municipalities with a population of 2,564 in 1817.[1] From 1845 to 1848, Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen was the mayor. The mayoralty was renamed in 1927 to Amt Weyerbusch.
