history

In the Landgraviate of Hessen-Homburg , the judiciary and administration were not separate. The Homburg Justice Office therefore served as the court of first instance. After the annexation by Prussia , the Hesse-Homburg justice office was converted into a Prussian justice office on November 5, 1866. At the same time, two communities from the grand ducal Hessian district court Vilbel ( Rödelheim and Niederursel ) were added to the judicial district of Homburg. On September 1, 1867, the court was converted into a district court. The higher authority was initially the Wiesbaden district court . On October 1, 1879, the Frankfurt am Main regional court became the higher authority. At the same time, the district court district expands by 5 communities from the district court district of Königstein . During the National Socialist era , the Usingen District Court was closed and continued as a branch of the Bad Homburg District Court. In 1945, 2 municipalities of the AG Usingen were transferred to the Wetzlar District Court and on May 1, 1947 the AG Usingen became independent again.

Historical building

Former district court

The original seat of the district court was at Dorotheenstrasse 20/22. The building was built around 1820 as a judicial building and was used as a district court until 1965. The classicistic, three-story, brightly plastered building with a hipped roof, which is a listed building, was rebuilt in 1830 and 1901. The original plans came from Johann Friedrich Christian Hess , the building was finished around 1830 by Georg Moller . During the air raid on March 8, 1945, the building was badly damaged in World War II , but was rebuilt after the war.

The house has been used as a city library since 1975. This was previously in the Schulberg 1 building, the former city school (Protestant school) from 1738, which is also a listed building. These rooms had become too small for the holdings of the city library. The district court building also became too small over time. On February 28, 2003, an extension to the old district court was inaugurated.
