history

Emergence

The establishment of an official organization in Idstein began in the Middle Ages. In 1343 a bailiff from Idstein is documented.

In 1566 the Idstein office included the towns of Idstein, Walsdorf, Esch, Kröftel, Ober- and Niederod, Heftrich, Bermbach, Nieder- and Oberseelbach, Lenzhahn, Niedernhausen, Königshofen, Engenhahn, Dasbach, Gassenbach, Wörsdorf, Fackenhofen ( desert ), Wallrabenstein , Eschenhahn, Ehrenbach, Kesselbach, Görsroth, Nieder- and Oberauroff, Neuhof, Ober-, Nieder- and Wüstems, Oberndorf, Reinborn, Reichenbach, Finsternthal, Breithardt, Steckenroth, Adolphseck, Michelbach, Nieder- and Ober-Libbach, Hambach, Hennethal, Strinztrinitatis, Strinzmargarethä, Limbach, Wallbach, Beuerbach, Bechtheim and Ketternschwalbach. In addition, Rückershausen and Eisighofen were added until 1653 , the re-established Watzhahn around 1700 and Schiesheim in 1790 .

In 1721 the Idstein office fell to Nassau-Ottweiler , and in 1728 to Nassau-Usingen .

Duchy of Nassau

The Idstein office, based in Idstein, was one of 28 offices in the Duchy of Nassau that was created on July 1, 1816 as part of a reorganization of the Nassau administration. At the head of the Office of the Duke stood as a local governor a bailiff .

The following 35 localities belonged to the Idstein office:

• the former Nassau-Usingenschen places Idstein , Bermbach , Dasbach , Engenhahn , Esch , Heftrich , Königshofen , Kröftel , Lenzhahn , Niederems , Niedernhausen , Niederrod , Niederseelbach , Oberems , Oberrod , Oberseelbach , Reichenbach , Reinborn , Steinfischbach , Wallrabenstein , Walsdorf , Wörsdorf , Wüstems
• the former Kurmainzischen places: Bremthal , Niederjosbach , Oberjosbach , Vockenhausen
• of the former Camberg office, i.e. the jointly Nassau-Orange and Kurtrier places : Camberg , Dombach , Erbach (Bad Camberg) , Oberselters , Schwickershausen , Würges
• the formerly jointly Orange, Electorate and Baron Hohenfeld place Eisenbach and
• the former Kurtrierische place of Niederselters .

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 Idstein office were carried out by the Idstein district office , the jurisdiction of the Idstein 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 in their old form were also dissolved and replaced by circles. In 1867, the Idstein Office, together with the Langen-Schwalbach Office and the Wehen Office, formed the Untertaunuskreis . Only as part of this reorganization will administration and jurisdiction be separated. 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 Idstein 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 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.
