history

In the second half of the 14th century Lich fell to the Counts of Solms. The Lich office became the heartland of the Lich line of the Solms noble family. After the death of Count Philipp zu Solms-Lich (1468–1544), his two eldest sons shared the county of Solms-Lich and the office of Lich fell to Reinhard I (1491–1562). The office at that time included the city of Lich and the villages of Södel , Wonbach , Ettingshausen , Münster , Ober-Bessingen , Hattenrode and Nieder-Albach (desert). Wohnbach was later pledged to Solms-Laubach and left office. The layout of the office did not change until it was dissolved in 1822. Even after his death, the county was divided and Ernst I (1527–1590) received the office of Lich. This line died out with the death of Count Hermann Adolf Moritz von Solms-Lich (1646–1718) and the Lich office became part of the Principality of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich in 1718 .

With the Rhine Federation Act , the Principality of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich lost its sovereignty in 1806 and was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Hesse. The now Hessian Office was part of Standesherrschaft Solms-Lich in the Prince of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich as Standesherren further skills in the official administrative and patrimonial had.

In 1822, the administration of justice was separated from the Grand Duchy of Hesse . The Lich office was revoked. Its administrative functions were transferred to the newly established district of Hungen , the court functions were taken over by the Lich district court . This also came true according to the Solms patrimonial jurisdiction.
