Rodheim Office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rodheim office was an office of the County of Hanau-Munzenberg , the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel and 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.

prehistory

The area Amtes Rodheim belonged partly since the Munzenberg inheritance to the rule Hanau , later to the county Hanau-Munzenberg and to Falkenstein . In 1367 Hanau was able to increase its share to half as a result of the Falkensteiner feud . During this time, the Hanau share was administered by the Hanau Windecken office.

history

In 1578 and 1595 Hanau was able to acquire the remaining shares in the area, which now became part of the County of Hanau-Munzenberg. This spun off the area from the Windecken office and created its own Rodheim office from it.

In 1669, Count Friedrich Casimir von Hanau , who needed more money for his court, which was beyond the financial framework of his county, pledged the Rodheim office for 9000 thalers to Landgrave Georg Christian von Hessen-Homburg . The forced administration set up by the emperor shortly afterwards because of the extravagance of Count Friedrich Casimir in the county of Hanau , however, sued the Reich Chamber of Commerce , which confirmed the illegality of the deal and reversed it. Based on this historical background, the play " Der Waldbrennt " by Hermann Fornoff and Hans-Kurt Jacobi was first performed in Rodheim in 1949 and in a revised version in November 2010 .

1736, with the death of Count Johann Reinhard III. von Hanau , the Landgrave of Hessen-Kassel also inherited the Rodheim office. In 1741 the place Burgholzhausen was also subordinated to the office. In 1806 it came under French administration when France occupied the electorate because it refused to join the Confederation of the Rhine . On May 11, 1810, the Grand Duchy of Hesse and France signed a state treaty with which France gave territories that it had taken from Electorate Hesse in 1806 to the Grand Duchy. The treaty concluded in May was not signed by Napoléon until October 17, 1810. The Hessian occupation patent dates from November 10, 1810 and also included the Rodheim office . It remained in the Grand Duchy even after the Congress of Vienna .

1820 was the official Rodheim the Office Vilbel and Kloppenheim slammed shut. This only existed for one year before it was dissolved (see here ).
