history

Orange

The Herborner Mark came with the end of dernbacher feud 1336 final possession of the Nassauer counts.

In 1787 the Herborn office consisted of Amdorf , Ballersbach , Bicken , Breitscheid , Burg Erdbach , Fleisbach , Guntersdorf , Herborn, Herbornseelbach , Hirschberg , Hörbach , Medenbach , Merkenbach , Offenbach , Roth , Schönbach , Sinn and Uckersdorf .

In 1806 the office fell to the Grand Duchy of Berg . In the Grand Duchy of Berg, the offices were dissolved and cantons were established instead. The canton of Herborn was established in Hadamar . Soon after the Battle of Leipzig , the Grand Duchy dissolved and Nassau-Orange got its territories back. After it was returned to Nassau-Orange in 1813, the previous Orange offices, including the Herborn office, were re-established in their old form.

Duchy of Nassau

On May 31, 1815, Orange ceded the hereditary lands to Prussia . Prussia in turn swapped territories with the Duchy of Nassau, so that the Herborn office became part of the Duchy. During the official reform on July 1, 1816, the Herborn office remained in place, but was expanded extensively. Until 1866 it consisted of Herborn, Amdorf, Arborn , Ballersbach, Beilstein with Wallendorf , Bicken, Breitscheid, Burg , Driedorf , Eisemroth , Erdbach, Fleisbach, Guntersdorf, Gusternhain , Haiern , Heiligenborn , Heisterberg , Herbornseelbach, Hirschberg, Hohenroth , Hörbach, Mademühlen , Medenbach, Merkenbach, Münchhausen , Nenderoth , Oberndorf , Odersberg , Offenbach, Rabenscheid , Rodenberg , Rodenroth , Roth, Schönbach, Seilhofen , Sinn, Tringenstein , Uckersdorf, Überthal , Waldaubach and Wallenfels .

In 1820 the office counted 41 municipal districts, including 2 cities, 40 villages, 50 farms and mills. 3,207 families and 12,947 residents lived in the district. Of these, 12,866 were Protestant, 29 Catholic and 52 Jews.

After the March Revolution in 1848, the administration was reorganized. By law of April 4, 1849, administration and jurisdiction were separated at a lower level in Nassau. The reform came into effect on July 1, 1849. 10 district offices were established for administration , the offices continued as judicial offices (i.e. courts of first instance). The administrative tasks of the Herborn office were carried out by the Herborn district office , the jurisdiction of the Herborn justice office. However, the reform was reversed on October 1, 1854, the districts abolished and the previous offices restored.

Prussia

With the annexation of Nassau by Prussia , the offices were also dissolved in their old form and replaced by circles. The Hadamar Office formed the Dill District together with the Dillenburg in 1867 . Administration and jurisdiction were only separated as part of this reorganization. The judicial officials in the offices were initially responsible for the jurisdiction in the first instance, which was previously carried out by the office, and the Herborn District Court was formed on September 1, 1867 .

But even after the founding of the district, the previous office structure will be retained. The Royal Ordinance of February 22, 1867 regulated: "The administrative districts as narrower administrative districts exist in their previous limits" The former offices form the districts of the district. According to § 13 of the district constitution, the districts, i.e. the former offices, each sent six representatives to the new district council . The bailiff was in charge of the local police and the district administrator.

With the administrative reform of 1885/1886 the offices were finally dissolved.
