history
prehistory
On September 22nd, 1632 the noble family Hirschhorn died with Friedrich III. in the male line. The Hirschhorn reign was then divided into many parts, as the respective fiefdoms withdrew the fiefs that had now been settled. The area of the later office of Hirschhorn fell to Kurmainz and was transferred to the barons Raitz von Frentz as a fief. In 1699 the fief fell back to Kurmainz.
Kurmainz
Kurmainz formed the Hirschhorn office from the fallen fiefdom . 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.
The Hirschhorn office was initially co-administered by the official of the Prozelten office . The Electoral Mainz cellar later moved to Hirschhorn Castle . The jurisdiction for the Hirschhorn office was guaranteed by the Starkenburg Oberamt .
In the Hirschhorn office , the Mainz land law , which was formally reintroduced in the entire electoral state in 1755, was a particular law . The Common Law was beyond, as far as the particular law specific rules relating to facts not contained.
As part of the official reform in 1782, the Hirschhorn Office was completely separated from the Starkenburg Upper Office.
Hesse
In the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the office was added to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt in 1803, which was renamed in 1806 to "Grand Duchy of Hessen".
With the executive order of December 9, 1803, the judicial system of the two higher authorities was reorganized. The offices - including Hirschhorn - remained the first instance of jurisdiction in civil matters .
Before 1812, the previous office of Neckarsteinach , which had been a condominium of the Bishopric Worms and the Bishopric Speyer in the Old Kingdom , was added to the Amt Hirschhorn. Here the Electoral Palatinate Land Law was a particular law and the Common Law was also subsidiary .
In 1821/22 there was an administrative reform in the Grand Duchy. With it, court and administration were also 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 Hirschhorn office was dissolved. Its administrative tasks were transferred to the Hirschhorn district , the jurisdiction to the Hirschhorn district court .
The particular rights mentioned remained in effect throughout the 19th century when the area belonged to the Grand Duchy. Until 1 January 1900, the particular law of the same across the whole was German Reich current Civil Code replaced.
