history
In the Lauterbach office , the Riedesel ordinances were considered to be particular law . If the ordinances did not regulate a situation, subsidiary common law applied . The Riedesel'schen ordinances retained their validity during the affiliation to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century, until they were replaced on January 1, 1900 by the Civil Code , which was uniformly valid throughout the German Empire , even if at the end of the 19th century in were only used to a very limited extent in practice.
The rule of Riedesel was largely annexed by the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the course of the establishment of the Rhine Confederation in 1806 . The Lauterbach office also existed in the new state. The Grand Duchy incorporated the Lauterbach office into its province of Upper Hesse . The ancestral rights of the Lords of Riedesel in the office were preserved. They retained their rights as patrimonial judges. The office was thus one of the so-called "sovereign lands" in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, as the Lords of Riedesel continued to exercise sovereign rights in administration and jurisdiction in their traditional territory .
From 1820 there were administrative reforms in the Grand Duchy of Hesse. From 1821 on, jurisdiction and administration were separated and all offices were dissolved at the lower level . District districts were created for the administrative tasks previously performed by the offices, and district courts for the first instance jurisdiction. In the area of the Lauterbach office , the tasks that the Lauterbach office had previously performed in the administration were transferred to the newly formed district of Herbstein , and the tasks that it had performed in the case law to the Lauterbach regional court .
