The Wehrheim office was an administrative and judicial district in today's Hochtaunuskreis . The main town was Wehrheim .

description

The zweiherrige Office Wehrheim was a sensitive structure. The main reason was that the state sovereignty was exercised jointly for centuries by the Catholic Kurtrier and the Protestant Nassau-Usingen . In order to limit the resulting conflicts, the respective competencies were defined down to the smallest detail. There was also a Kurtrier and a Nassau bailiff .

For the first time a bailiff is named in Wehrheim in 1386. However, until the 1520s, there were still compulsory labor from Wehrheim and (Langen) Anspach to Altweilnau , so that Wehrheim cannot actually be referred to as an office.

From 1543 Wehrheim was the seat of an electorate trier. In 1564, after the agreement between Trier and Usingen (the Diezer Treaty ), a Nassau bailiff was added. The Wehrheim office consisted of the Wehrheim, Anspach, Obernhain and the Thron monastery from 1579 . The Nassau official status from 1589 and the Electoral Trier official description from 1659 also name the same area. This means that the Wehrheim Office is spatially a spin-off from the Altweilnau Office .

When Kurtrier was dissolved in 1803, half of it was transferred to Nassau-Weilburg . With the merger of the Nassau territories to form the Duchy of Nassau in 1806, the centuries-old division ceased and the Wehrheim office became one of the offices of the Duchy .

With the reform of offices in Nassau on July 16, 1810, the Wehrheim office was combined with the Kransberg office in a new Cleeberg office . In 1814 this office became part of the Usingen office .
