history

The parish of Marienberg originally belonged to the rulership of the Westerwald and in the HRR to the Nassau-Orange office of Beilstein . In 1806 the area came to the Grand Duchy of Berg and in 1813 it was returned to the re-established Nassau-Orange and then to the Duchy of Nassau as part of an area swap.

As part of Ibell's reforms, 28 offices were established in 1816. The Marienberg office consisted of Marienberg, Ailertchen , Bach , Bellingen , Bölsberg , Bretthausen , Büdingen , Dreisbach , Eichenstruth , Enspel , Erbach , Fehl mit Ritzhausen , Großseifen , Hahn , Hardt , Hinterkirchen , Hintermühlen , Höhn , Hölzenhausen , until the end of the office .

After the March Revolution in 1848, the administration was reorganized. By law of April 4, 1849, administration and jurisdiction were separated at a lower level in Nassau. The reform came into effect on July 1, 1849. Ten district offices were established for the administration , the offices continued as judicial offices (i.e. courts of first instance). The administrative tasks of the Marienberg office were carried out by the Hachenburg district office , the jurisdiction of the Marienberg justice office. However, the reform was reversed on October 1, 1854, the districts abolished and the previous offices restored.

Prussia

With the annexation of Nassau by Prussia , the offices in their old form were also dissolved and replaced by circles. In 1867 the Marienberg office together with the neighboring offices formed the Oberwesterwaldkreis . Administration and jurisdiction were only separated as part of this reorganization. For the jurisdiction in the first instance, which was previously carried out by the office, the judicial officials in the offices were initially responsible and on September 1, 1867 the Marienberg District Court was formed.

Even after the district was founded, the previous official structure was retained. The Royal Decree of February 22, 1867 regulated: "The administrative districts as narrower administrative districts exist in their previous limits". The former offices formed the four districts of the district. According to § 13 of the district constitution, the districts each sent six representatives to the new district council . The bailiff was in charge of the local police and the district administrator.

With the administrative reform of 1885/1886 the offices were finally dissolved.
