Eberstadt is one of nine districts of the city of Lich in the central Hessian district of Gießen .

geography

Eberstadt is 6 km southwest of the city center on the northern edge of the Wetterau along the L3053 Butzbach-Lich state road and not far from the 45 federal motorway near the Gambacher Kreuz .

history

The place name has nothing to do with the male pig, rather it is probably related to the old high German nickname Ebur . In the first sources from the 8th century AD, the place is documented as Evirestadt, Eviristat , in the documents of the Arnsburg monastery from the 13th / 14th centuries. In the 19th century it appears as Ebberstad . The first documentary mention was made on May 8, 788 in the Lorsch Codex on the occasion of a donation of two Huben and 25 serfs in the village of Eviristat by a Hereman to the Lorsch Monastery . The diocese of Fulda also had grounds on the Eberstädter Flur. Later large parts of the corridor were beneficiaries of the Arnsburg monastery.

In fact, there was already about twenty residential areas to the west / north-west of the cemetery in the Neolithic . It was discovered in 1911/12 - a large number of excavation finds such as bowls, axes, beakers, and millstones are now in the Upper Hessian Museum in Gießen .

In Roman times, the Limes ran not far from the town and the cohort fort Arnsburg was located on it in the direction of Arnsburg. In 1919/20 the foundations of a Roman country house were discovered on the road in the direction of Münzenberg, and a wooden watchtower may have been located on the hill near the water reservoir.

Since the responsible sovereigns, the Counts of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich, turned to Calvinism in the course of the Reformation , the region was badly affected in the Thirty Years' War . Eberstadt had men and money to provide, four times the rulership changed, twice the denomination changed according to that of the respective sovereign - " Cuius regio, eius religio ." The plague year 1635 brought further suffering.

Eberstadt was also paid contributions in the Hessian War from 1645 to 1647 . The connection to the Butzbach-Licher Railway , which was built between 1902 and 1904, meant great progress, not only for passenger traffic, but also for the transport of agricultural products, especially sugar beets . Operations ceased in the 1970s. Due to a large influx of refugees , especially from the Sudetenland , the number of inhabitants of Eberstadt almost doubled after 1945, mostly around Catholics, who set up their own religious and home point - initially provisionally - on their own with the support of the local Protestants. The first school should have existed as early as the middle of the 16th century, the first independent school building is mentioned in 1636. In 1812 the school building at Butzbacher Strasse 5 was built, also serving as a municipal office. After the Second World War and many temporary arrangements, the “new” school was handed over to its intended purpose in 1960.

On February 1, 1971 Eberstadt was in the course of administrative reform in Hesse in city Lich incorporated . For Eberstadt, as for all parts of the city, a local district with a local advisory board and a local mayor was established.

The old school functioned as the municipal office until it was incorporated. Since the incorporation, the Eberstadt children have attended schools in Lich. The building, which was only used as a school for so short, is now Eberstadt's village community center .

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Eberstadt was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus the "Patrimonial Court of the Princes Solms-Hohensolms-Lich" in Lich was responsible for Eberstadt from 1806. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. From 1822 the princes of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich let the Grand Duchy of Hesse exercise their court rights on their behalf. “ Lich Regional Court ” was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Eberstadt. The prince also waived his right to the second instance, which was exercised by the law firm in Hungen. It was only as a result of the March Revolution in 1848 that the special rights of the civil servants became final with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848 canceled.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Lich Local Court" and allocation to the district of the regional court of Giessen . On June 1, 1934, the Lich District Court was dissolved and Eberstadt was assigned to the Butzbach District Court . In 2004 the Butzbach District Court was dissolved and integrated into the Friedberg District Court . Now the superordinate instances are the Regional Court of Giessen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
