Alsfeld Office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alsfeld Office (also: Oberamt Alsfeld ) was an office of the Landgraviate and, most recently, the Grand Duchy of Hesse .

function

In the Middle Ages and early modern times , offices were a level between the municipalities and the sovereign rulership . The functions of administration and jurisdiction were not separated here. The office was headed by a bailiff who was appointed by the rulers.

history

The Alsfeld office belonged to the old stock of the Landgraviate of Hesse. After the division of Hesse in the 16th and 17th centuries, it finally came to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 , which then became the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806. Here the office was in the province of Upper Hesse .

From 1820 there were administrative reforms in the Grand Duchy. In 1820 the Grebenau office was dissolved and the Alsfeld office was added. But just one year later, in 1821, a further reform also separated the judiciary and administration at the lower level and all offices were dissolved. District districts were created for the administrative tasks previously performed in the offices, and district courts for the first instance jurisdiction. The administrative tasks of the former Alsfeld office were transferred to the district of Romrod and the jurisdiction to the Alsfeld district court .
