history

Albacher Church from 1774

Albach was first mentioned in a document in 1239. At that time there were two districts , namely Oberalbach and Niederalbach . They were located below the estate, which was inhabited by representatives of the von Albach family. The von Albach appear in documents as noblemen . Later Albacher Höfe were owned by the von Trohe and von Buseck families and Albach was part of the Busecker valley .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Albach in 1830:

"Albach (L. Bez. Giessen) evangel. Branch village; is 1 1 ⁄ 2  St. von Giessen, belongs to the Baron von Buseck, has 60 houses and 285 inhabitants, who are Protestant except for 1 Catholic - Albach was still part of the church in Winnerod in the 15th century. In 1827 the Freiherrl. The von Buseck family ceded the patrimonial jurisdiction they were entitled to in the village to the state. "

The Evangelical Church in Albach was built in 1774. It contains an organ from 1863. A church for Nieder-Albach is mentioned as early as 1271 and a church for Ober-Albach in 1332.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Albach voluntarily merged with the municipalities of Annerod and Steinbach on December 31, 1971 to form the municipality of Fernwald.

In the years 1964 to 1987, the launch area of ​​an anti-aircraft missile position , equipped with tactical nuclear warheads , was northeast of the town . Today there is a solar park on the site.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Albach 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 registry lords and thus the "Patrimonial Court of the Barons of Buseck" in Grossen-Buseck was responsible for Albach. 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 superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. But it was not until 1827 that patrimonial jurisdiction was exercised by the " Landgericht Gießen " on behalf of the barons. It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights were finally abolished with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the previous regional and city courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were repealed and replaced by local courts in the same place, as was the case with the higher courts, whose function was now taken over by the newly established regional courts. The districts of the city and regional court of Gießen were merged and now, together with the towns of Allertshausen and Climbach , which previously belonged to the district court of Grünberg , formed the district of the newly created district court of Gießen, which has since been part of the district of the newly established regional court of Gießen . Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances of the District Court of Gießen, the Regional Court of Gießen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice are the last instance.
