Office Laubach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Laubach office was an office of the Counts of Solms-Laubach and subsequently in the Grand Duchy of Hesse .

function

In the early modern period , offices were a level between the municipalities and the sovereignty . The functions of administration and jurisdiction were not separated here. The office was headed by a bailiff who was appointed by the rulers.

history

The Laubach office belonged to the county of Solms-Laubach in the early modern period . With the Rhine Confederation Act of 1806, state sovereignty over the county of Solms-Laubach fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. This incorporated the area into the Principality of Upper Hesse (from 1816: "Province of Upper Hesse"), but was subject to the restriction that the count retained the rank of landlord and he continued to exercise sovereign rights in administration and jurisdiction . This independent sovereignty naturally interfered with the Grand Duchy's claim to the state monopoly of force .

From 1820 there were administrative reforms in the Grand Duchy of Hesse. In 1821, jurisdiction and administration were separated at the lower level and all offices were dissolved. For the previously perceived by the offices administrative tasks were district districts created for the first-instance jurisdiction district courts.

Because of the transverse rights of the landlords, this lasted until 1822 in some of the areas they ruled, including in the Solms-Laibach area: With the Highest Resolution of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke on April 24, 1822, the former Count of Solms- Laubach office was dissolved and its administrative tasks on the newly formed district of Hungen , whose tasks in the jurisdiction are transferred to the district court of Hungen .

Components

At the time of its transition to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, the Laubach office included:

Law

In the Laubach office , the Solms land law applied . The common law was only valid if the Solms land law contained no provisions for a matter. When the Laubach office belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse , the Solms land law continued to apply there, and it was not until January 1, 1900 that it replaced the civil code that was uniformly applicable throughout the German Empire .
