Office Rennerod
The Rennerod office was a Nassau-Ottonian and finally a ducal Nassau office , the last seat of which was the place Rennerod . The office was designated as the office chair area until 1744 .
history
The office goes back to the medieval chair court (Winnen-Höhn court), a district court of the County of Diez for the parts of the county located on the Westerwald . After the court at Reckenforst near Dietkirchen, the court was the most important in the county. The only court in front of Winnen-Höhn was an independent Zentgraf documented in the 14th century . The Counts of Nassau-Dillenburg were able to assert themselves as heirs of the County of Diez until the 16th century . With the gradual transition to Roman law , the regional court lost its importance to the new offices.
With the division of the County of Nassau-Dillenburg in 1607, the court fell to the newly formed County of Nassau-Beilstein . The parish Willmenrod was separated from the court by a settlement with the county of Sayn and handed over to Sayn. The remainder of the regional court was combined with further possessions in Nassau-Beilstein to form the new office chair area with the official seat of Westernohe . This fell with the division of the county in June 1620 to the counts (from 1650 princes) of Nassau-Hadamar . After the house of Nassau-Hadamar died out in 1711, the principality was divided several times between the remaining Ottonian lines of the House of Nassau. The office chair area fell mainly to Nassau-Dillenburg and was expanded to include the district of the Elsoff district court .
By 1743 the house of Nassau-Diez (later Orange-Nassau) was able to unite all Nassau-Ottonian principalities and counties. It united the office chair area with other offices in 1744 to the Amtskollegium Hadamar. The Amtskollegium was dissolved again in 1775 and the office, with a changed seat, restored as Amt Rennerod . The districts of the Höhn and Rotenhain courts were transferred to the newly founded Marienberg Office in 1782 and the Elsoff Court to the Mengerskirchen Office .
In 1806 the office fell to the Grand Duchy of Berg . In the Grand Duchy of Berg, the offices were dissolved and cantons were established instead. The office fell mainly to the canton of Rennerod . Soon after the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , the sovereignty of Orange-Nassau was restored. After it was returned to Orange-Nassau in 1813, the previous Orange offices, including the Rennerod office, were re-established in their old form. On May 31, 1815, Orange ceded the hereditary lands to Prussia . Prussia in turn exchanged territories with the Duchy of Nassau, so that the Rennerod office now became part of the Duchy.
When the office was reformed on July 1, 1816, the Rennerod office was reorganized. The places Stein, Neukirchen, Bretthausen, Willingen, Liebenscheid and Weißenberg were given to the Marienberg office . The Office Meudt received Weltersberg. The office Rennerod received Neunkirchen, Hüblingen, Rückershausen, Elsoff, Mittelhofen and Westernohe from the office Mengerskirchen.
After the annexation of Nassau by Prussia, the office became part of the Oberwesterwaldkreis .
