Office Itter

The Itter office was an office of the Landgraviate and later of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and included the Darmstadt part of the former Itter rule .

history

The rule Itter was after lengthy inheritance disputes between the country counties Hesse-Kassel and Hesse-Darmstadt in 1648 with the Peace of Westphalia first to a Kondominat between two rural counties. With an exchange contract dated February 20, 1650, it came to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt, which in 1806 became the Grand Duchy of Hessen. Here the office was in the province of Upper Hesse .

From 1820 there were administrative reforms in the Grand Duchy. In 1821 the judiciary and administration were also separated at the lower level and all offices were dissolved. District districts were created for the administrative tasks previously performed in the offices, and district courts for the first instance jurisdiction . Itter became the Vöhl district council , which took over the administrative tasks of the former office. The jurisdiction was transferred to the newly established Vöhl Regional Court .
