    From 1765 to 1794, the hussar quarters in Erftstadt-Lechenich were the headquarters of the first Electoral Cologne police force set up by Elector Clemens August in 1751, a mounted gendarmerie called the "Hussar Company". From here, the hussar company was responsible for the entire part of the Electorate of Cologne, mostly on the left bank of the Rhine. After the French period, the hussar quarters served as a district office until the district administration was relocated to Euskirchen in 1827.
