history

Duration

In the Assenheim office , the Solms land law had been in effect since 1578 , the common law only if the regulations of the Solms land law did not contain any provisions for an issue. The Solms land law remained in force when the office belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century. This legal situation was only replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly applicable throughout the German Empire .

The county of Ysenburg-Büdingen-Wächtersbach became part of the Principality of Isenburg during the time of the Rhine Confederation . The Assenheim office also existed in the new state. At the Congress of Vienna (1815), the Principality of Isenburg itself lost its sovereignty and was mediated in favor of Austria . Austria passed on the area: On June 30, 1816, it signed a state treaty with Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse, through which the Principality of Isenburg became a major part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse. This also included the Assenheim office . The Grand Duchy incorporated the Assenheim office into its province of Upper Hesse . In all these transactions, the ancestral rights of the Counts of Ysenburg-Büdingen-Wächtersbach in the office were preserved. Their rights as rulers enjoyed the protection of the Rhine Confederation Act of 1806. The office was thus one of the so-called "sovereign states " in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, as the Counts of Ysenburg-Büdingen-Wächtersbach continued to exercise sovereign rights in administration and jurisdiction in their ancestral territory .

resolution

From 1820 there were administrative reforms in the Grand Duchy of Hesse. From 1821 on, jurisdiction and administration were separated and all offices were dissolved at the lower level . District districts were created for the administrative tasks previously performed by the offices, and district courts for the first instance jurisdiction. In the area of ​​the Assenheim office , the reform was carried out in three steps in 1821 and 1823:

1821

The places Assenheim, Bönstadt and Bruchenbrücken were assigned to the district of Vilbel in terms of administration , as well as the state share in the condominium of the municipality of Assenheim and the places Bönstadt and Bruchenbrücken in terms of jurisdiction to the Vilbel district court .

1822

The remaining places Michelau and Ronneburg Castle were assigned to the newly formed district of Büdingen with regard to administration , and to the Büdingen district court with regard to jurisdiction .

1823

Assenheim was also assigned to the Büdingen district and the Friedberg district court in 1823. The Assenheim office was dissolved.

today

The area of ​​the former Assenheim office is now spread across the districts of Büdingen , Friedberg , Niddatal and Ronneburg .
