history

The Marburg district in 1905

On August 21, 1821, Kurhessen was divided into four provinces and 22 districts for administrative purposes. The jurisdiction, which was exercised through the division into regional courts, was now separated from this. The Marburg district was formed from the localities of the Marburg Regional Court, the Fronhausen office with Treis an der Lumda and the Wetter office. Karl-Wilhelm Hille, who held this office until 1834, became the district administrator.

The district of Marburg was assigned to the province of Upper Hesse , which also included the districts of Frankenberg , Kirchhain and Ziegenhain .

A reform of the administrative structures of the district was recorded in 1834. With the municipal ordinance of October 23, 1834 for the cities and rural communities of Kurhessen, the villages in the Marburg district received an organ of self-administration, which from now on consisted of the mayor, the community council and the community committee. The municipal finance law created a secure administration of the municipal assets and a regulated municipal tax system. After the Hessian state had fought on the Austrian side in the German War and thus belonged to the losers, it was annexed by Prussia in 1866.

The Marburg district was re-established on July 1, 1867 by Prussian laws. The seat of the administration became the city of Marburg . With the peace treaty of September 3, 1866 between Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse , the municipality of Treis an der Lumda also moved from the Marburg district to the Gießen district . In 1886 the Schröck community moved from the Kirchhain district to the Marburg district.

In 1898 the municipal finance law was replaced by the municipal and town ordinance for the province of Hesse-Nassau . On December 4, 1926, the district was renamed Marburg ad Lahn and on April 1, 1929, the city of Marburg was spun off from the district. On January 1, 1931, the community of Ockershausen left the district and was incorporated into Marburg. On October 1, 1932, the Kirchhain district was added to the Marburg ad Lahn district. After the Second World War, the city of Marburg remained independent.

Between 1932 and 1970 the district of Marburg comprised 127 municipalities, seven of which had had town charter since 1960. The Hessian territorial reform began in the Marburg district on July 1, 1970, when the merger of Halsdorf and Wohra formed the new municipality of Wohratal . A large number of other parish mergers reduced the number of parishes in the district to 63 by June 1974.

On January 1, 1974, the demarcation of the district also changed:

• The community Mengsberg from the dissolved district of Ziegenhain was incorporated into the city of Neustadt (Hesse) .
• The municipality of Schiffelbach left the Marburg district and was incorporated into the municipality of Gemünden (Wohra) in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district.

By the Hessian district reform came into being on July 1, 1974 from the city of Marburg and the districts of Marburg and Biedenkopf of Marburg-Biedenkopf . The municipality of Braunstein in the Marburg district came to the Gießen district. At the same time, further incorporations took place on July 1, 1974. In the end, 14 municipalities from the Marburg district joined the new Marburg-Biedenkopf district.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the circle shows in the blue shield the golden (yellow) armored and crowned Hessian lion, divided nine times by silver (white) and red, holding the shield of the Teutonic Knight Order (silver with continuous black cross) in front of him .

The territory of the district covers a large part of the old Hessen area. In addition, the German Order of Knights was an important territorial lord. The Archdiocese of Mainz , whose area made up a large part of the former Kirchhain district, was not included in the coat of arms.

The Marburg-Biedenkopf district continues to use the motif of the coat of arms in a version revised by the heraldist Heinz Ritt . This was possible without any problems, as the motif of the coat of arms of the Biedenkopf district was the crowned head of the Hessian lion in the blue shield, divided by silver (white) and red, reinforced and crowned .

flag

The flag was approved on September 8, 1969 by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior.

"The coat of arms of the district of Marburg on two red and white third fields in confused colors."
