history

Kurmainz

In Hochheim there was the cathedral mechanic's office in Hochheim . The office developed from the jurisdiction that the Mainz Cathedral Chapter acquired from the Lords of Eppstein on March 25, 1482. This office, occupied in 1579, comprised the secular and spiritual administration of Hochheim, Flörsheim and Astheim . Furthermore, the place Eddersheim was administratively affiliated to the office. After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the church property was secularized . The office was dissolved. Only the general recipe of the tax administration remained. The places that fell to the Principality of Nassau were administratively incorporated into the Wallau office.

Nassau

The Hochheim office was created by renaming the Wallau office and relocating the official seat from there to Hochheim anew, which was decreed by the Ducal-Naussau State Ministry on December 17, 1816 as follows: Since it was also decided that with the 1 April of the following year the seat of the previous Wallau office relocated to Hochheim and this district will in future be called the Hochheim office ; so are in consideration of the easier resp. make connection with this official seat more difficult from 1st Jenner k. J. to the municipalities of Epstein and Lorsbach, previously part of the Wallau office, with the administrative district of Königstein, but the municipality of Eddersheim, which previously belonged to the Höchst office, was connected to the administrative district of Wallau (soon to be Hochheim).

The Hochheim office thus included the former Mainz towns of Hochheim, Flörsheim , Eddersheim , Wicker , Weilbach and Marxheim , as well as the former Hessen-Darmstadt towns of Wallau , Massenheim , Delkenheim , Nordenstadt , Igstadt , Breckenheim , Medenbach , Wildsachsen , Diedenbergen and Langenhain , which up to 1803 were summarized as a small country in the former Hessian office Wallau .

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 Hochheim office were carried out by the Höchst district office , the jurisdiction of the Hochheim 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. In 1867 , the Hochheim Office together with the Wiesbaden Office , the Höchst Office and parts of the free imperial city of Frankfurt and Hesse formed the Main District . 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 Hochheim District Court was formed on September 1, 1867 .

But even after the district was founded, the previous official structure was retained. The Royal Ordinance of February 22, 1867 regulated: "The administrative districts as narrower administrative districts exist in their previous limits" The former offices formed the three districts of the district. According to § 13 of the district constitution, the districts sent the former offices 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.

Office building

The office building was at Kirchstrasse 17 in Hochheim. It was a stately, late baroque building. It was built around 1750 on the property of the commander of the Order of St. John to the Holy Grave in Mainz by the master mason Heußer. After the order was abolished, the building was used by the Duchy of Nassau from 1807 . After the office was terminated, the building was used as a land registry office.
