Office pouring
The Gießen office was an office of the Landgraviate of Hesse and, most recently, of 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 oldest reference to an office in Gießen comes from 1263, when a "bailiff" was mentioned for Gießen. Between 1197 and 1265 it is documented that a corresponding area is called "Grafschaft Gießen". The very extensive area of this office was divided before 1556, among other things into a City Office Gießen (hereinafter also called Oberamt Gießen ) and a Landamt Gießen.
When the country was divided after the death of Landgrave Philip I, the Magnanimous , in 1567, the two offices fell to the newly formed Landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg and after this branch line died out in 1604 and the Hessian Wars in 1648, with the Peace of Westphalia, finally to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt , which then became the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806.
In 1821/22 there was an administrative reform in the Grand Duchy. With it, the court and administration were separated at the lower level. District districts were created for the administrative tasks previously performed in the offices, and district courts for the first instance jurisdiction. The City Office and the Land Office Gießen were dissolved. Your administrative tasks were transferred to the district of Gießen , the jurisdiction to the city court Gießen and the district court Gießen .
