The Jesberg office of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel administered the landgrave's possessions and courts in the area around Jesberg in what is now the Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse . It existed as an independent judicial and rent office from 1791 to 1807 and again from 1814 to 1821, and during this time included the locations of the two already existing courts Jesberg and Waltersbrück as well as a number of aristocratic villages in Löwensteiner Grund . In 1821 the newly formed Fritzlar district grew .

history

Jesberg court

The court Jesberg with the village and the castle Jesberg , the village Hundhausen and the farm Richerode was 1241-1586 kurmainzisch as already Electoral Mainz time - then 1583 half and 1586 remained entirely by agreement and the purchase of Hesse-Kassel and came - until 1721 in pledges of various noble families. With the death of Ludwig Eitel von Linsingen (1655–1721), headmaster of the four high hospitals in Hesse, the court and the property belonging to it fell back to Landgrave Karl , who gave it to his son Maximilian in 1723 as the rule of Jesberg . When he died in 1753, heavily in debt and without sons, bankruptcy proceedings lasted 15 years until the court finally came to Landgrave Friedrich II in 1768 . It was initially assigned to the Borken office , but was then placed under the Schönstein office as early as 1770 .

Waltersbrück Court

The Waltersbrück court, until then joint property of the lords of Löwenstein-Schweinsberg and von Gilsa , was divided in 1359, whereby Zimmerrode and Gilsa came to the lords of Gilsa. The court with the places Waltersbrück , Bischhausen , Gertzhausen , Schlierbach , Ahausen , Glimmerode and Dorheim remained Hessian fiefdom of those of Löwenstein-Schweinsberg. After the death of Franz Caspar von Löwenstein-Schweinsberg, the last male offspring of this branch of the family, in 1644, Colonel and Privy Councilor Jakob von Hoff († 1671), court marshal of the landgrave widow and regent Amalie Elisabeth , became owner of the court through purchase and enfeoffment ; He then settled the claims of the female descendants and allodial heirs of those von Löwenstein with substantial monetary payments. The Waltersbrück court remained in his family until 1734. Then it was bought by the landgrave Prince Georg von Hessen-Kassel and after his death in 1755 fell back to Hessen-Kassel as a settled fiefdom. After that, the court with its four villages that had not fallen desolate (Waltersbrück, Bischhausen, Schlierbach and Dorheim) was administered by the Borken office.

Office Jesberg

In 1791 the courts of Jesberg (with Jesberg, Hundshausen and the Hof Richerode) and Waltersbrück (with Waltersbrück, Bischhausen, Schlierbach and Dorheim) were subordinated to the newly created office of Jesberg, with Densberg, which previously belonged to the office of Schönstein, and a number of majority Villages and farms located in Löwensteiner Grund and previously belonging to the Borken Office were assigned. According to Landau , these were Betzigerode , Brünchenhain , Elnrode , Gilsa , Oberurff , Niederurff , Reptich with Wickersdorf , Schiffelborn , Wenzigerode , Zimmerrode and Zwesten . In 1805 the small village of Strang also moved from the Borken office to the Jesberg office.

During the time of the short-lived Kingdom of Westphalia (1807 to 1813), the previous office of Jesberg formed part of the canton of Jesberg in the Marburg district of the Werra department . After the end of the kingdom, the previous administrative and judicial structure was restored.

In execution of the organizational edict of June 29, 1821 of the Electorate of Hesse , the administration of justice was separated. With regard to the administrative function, the Jesberg office was merged with the Fritzlar and Gudensberg offices and parts of the Borken and Homberg offices to form the Fritzlar district. At the same time, the Jesberg office was transformed into the Jesberg judicial office as a court of first instance, which looked after the localities listed in the table.
