history

Dornberg and Katzenelnbogen

The oldest surviving mention of Dornberg Castle as the seat of the Lords of Dornberg comes from the 12th century . The castle was the core of the Dornberg office. With the extinction of the Lords of Dornberg, the castle and the associated village fell to the Counts of Katzenelnbogen in 1259 . At that time the places Dornberg, Groß-Gerau , Klein-Gerau , Mörfelden , Berkach , Wallerstädten and Büttelborn were named as property of the Lords of Dornberg. The cellars and bailiffs in the Dornburg office have been known since 1311 . In 1465 Count Philipp I von Katzenelnbogen bought Crumstadt with all his accessories from Hans Landschad von Steinach for 800 florins. Since then it has been part of the Dornberg office.

Landgraviate of Hesse

In 1479 the Landgraves of Hesse inherited the County of Katzenelnbogen and with it the Dornberg office. Under the Landgraves, the Rüsselsheim office was spun off from the Dornberg office.

When the country was divided under the heirs of Philip the Magnanimous in 1567, the Dornberg office belonged to the inventory that was now part of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt . Its first regent, Georg I , arranged for the collection of land law of the Upper County of Katzenelnbogen , compiled by his Chancellor, Johann Kleinschmidt , to become legally binding. She was in the villages of the Office Dornberg as a particular law , subsidiary supplemented by the Common Law to the end of the 19th century. It was not until January 1, 1900, when the Civil Code , which was uniformly valid throughout the German Reich , that the old particular law was suspended.

At the end of the HRR , the Dornberg office consisted of the following locations:

Grand Duchy of Hesse

The Dornberg office was still responsible for administration and jurisdiction at the beginning of the 19th century - the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt had advanced to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806 . In the course of the administrative reform of 1821 in the Grand Duchy, administration and jurisdiction were separated. For the administration, the district of Dornberg was created , for the jurisdiction the district court of Großgerau , which took over the tasks of the previous Dornberg office, which ceased to exist.
