Amöneburg District Court

Untergasse 1 (today: Brückertor 1), former district court building

The district court of Amöneburg was a district court based in Amöneburg .

history

According to the regulations of the Peace of Lunéville , the Electoral Mainz Office of Amöneburg was occupied by the military on September 11, 1802 and incorporated into Kurhessen . The Reichsdeputationshauptschluss confirmed the annexation on February 25, 1803 .

The jurisdiction of the first instance now takes place in the old Kurmainzerische Amtshaus in Untergasse 1 by the Elector of Hesse . With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen . Now the judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisprudence and an assistant's office of the judicial office Kirchhain was set up in the Amöneburg office . This received the entire office building for use. In 1831 an independent judicial office in Amöneburg was created.

After the German War , Kurhessen was annexed by Prussia . The judicial office was abolished in 1867 and the judicial district was assigned to the Kirchhain district court.

After complaints from the city and the promise that the city would bear the costs of the courthouse, the decision to set aside was revised and the court continued to operate as the Amöneburg District Court from January 1, 1868. On October 1, 1932, the Amöneburg District Court was repealed and its district was assigned to that of the Kirchhain District Court.

Instance move

The district court of Marburg was superordinate to the court as the second instance court (which was initially named as the electoral high court from 1821 and from 1867 as the Prussian district court ).

The courthouse

In 1729 the two-story slate-studded house was built as a private house. The inscription above the front door sibi suisque struxit in concordia et amore (German: (for) oneself and one's family, built in harmony and love ) attests to private use. The house was later used as the Electorate of Mainz and the Electorate of Hesse and served as a courthouse from 1821 to 1832. After the court closed, the house served as a school building and is now used again as a private house. It is a listed building .
