history

Nassau

Usingen was the royal seat of Nassau-Usingen. The Usingen office included the city of Usingen and some neighboring villages. In 1810 the office of Reifenberg was also assigned to the office of Usingen. In March 1814 the Cleeberg and the Usingen were merged and now formed the Usingen. Cleeberg had previously the Office Wehrheim and the Office Kranenberg added

In 1820 the office counted 47 municipality districts, including 1 town, 2 spots, 46 villages, 71 farms and mills. 4,389 families and 16,973 residents lived in the district. Of these, 12,266 were Protestant and 4,475 were Catholic and 233 were Jews.

The office had both the task of an administrative authority and that of a court of first instance. At the level of the office, the Usingen pharmacy existed .

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. 10 district offices were established for administration , the offices continued as judicial offices (i.e. courts of first instance). The administrative tasks of the Usingen office were carried out by the Idstein district office , the jurisdiction of the Usingen justice office. However, the reform was reversed on October 1, 1854, the districts abolished and the previous offices restored.

With the annexation of Nassau by Prussia and the function of the court of first instance to the district court of Usingen . The office was maintained as a downstream authority until 1883 and then dissolved.

Prussia

With the annexation of Nassau by Prussia , the offices in their old form were also dissolved and replaced by circles. In 1866 the administrative tasks of the Usingen office were transferred to the new Obertaunus district . Only as part of this reorganization will administration and jurisdiction be separated. 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 the Usingen district court was formed on September 1, 1867 .

But even after the founding of the district, the previous office structure will be retained. The Royal Ordinance of February 22, 1867 regulated: "The administrative districts as narrower administrative districts exist in their previous limits" The former offices form the three districts of the district. According to § 13 of the district constitution, the districts sent the former offices 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.

Duke of Nassau Counts Waldbott-Bassenheim Office

While the offices of Reifenberg and Kransberg had ceased to exist when they were incorporated into the Office of Usingen, some of the status privileges of the Counts of Waldbott-Bassenheim continued to exist even after the mediatization . In addition, the counts were the largest landowners in the former office of Reifenberg. Organizationally, these rights were administered in the Duke of Nassau Counts Waldbott-Bassenheim Office . Spatially, this office included the former lords of Reifenberg and Kransberg.

During the March Revolution in 1848 , the privileges of the class were revoked and Count Hugo Waldbott von Bassenheim only left the civil law income from his property. The Waldbott-Bassenheim office ended with that.
