history

With the Courts Constitution Act of 1877, the organization and names of the courts were standardized across the empire . On October 1, 1879, the Grand Duchy of Hesse therefore repealed the regional courts that had been responsible for first instance jurisdiction since 1821 . Functionally, they have been replaced by local courts . So now the replaced Amtsgericht Friedberg , the District Court Friedberg . The higher courts directly superordinate to the local courts were now called “ regional courts ”.

At the same time, the now district court district was assigned the municipality of Wölfersheim , which previously belonged to the Hungen district court , so that it now has the communities of Assenheim , Bauernheim , Beienheim , Bruchenbrücken , Dorn-Assenheim , Fauerbach , Friedberg, Ilbenstadt , Leidhecken , Melbach , Nieder-Florstadt , Nieder-Wöllstadt , Ober-Florstadt , Ober- and Nieder-Rosbach , Ober-Wöllstadt , Ockstadt , Ossenheim , Reichelsheim , Södel , Weckesheim , Wickstadt and Wölfersheim.

On January 1, 1882, the municipalities of Burg-Graefenrode , Heldenbergen and Kaichen were assigned to the district of the district court by the district court district of Vilbel . With effect from July 1, 1911, the communities Rodheim and Holzhausen , also from the district court district of Vilbel, the village of Dorheim, separated from the district court of Bad Nauheim, and again Bönstadt from the district court district of Altenstadt were added. As a result of the dissolution of the Hungen District Court on June 1, 1934, the Friedberger Sprengel expanded again to include the communities of Berstadt and Wohnbach .

On April 1, 1964, Staden and Stammheim were added by the Ortenberg District Court . On July 1, 1968, the entire district of the dissolved Bad Nauheim District Court, including Bad Nauheim, Nieder- and Ober-Mörlen, Rödgen , Schwalheim , Steinfurth and Wisselsheim, was assigned to the Friedberg District Court, while Berstadt and Leidhecken had to be handed over to the Nidda District Court .

After numerous incorporations as a result of the regional reform in Hesse in the 1970s and the associated minor changes to the district, the Friedberg district court consisted of Florstadt, Friedberg (Hesse), Bad Nauheim, Niddatal, Ober-Mörlen, Reichelsheim (Wetterau), Rosbach vd Höhe, Wölfersheim and Wollstadt . The last expansion of the Friedberg District Court district so far took place on January 1, 2005, when the Butzbach District Court was repealed , thereby incorporating the cities of Butzbach and Munzenberg and the municipality of Rockenberg.

Courthouse

The first courthouse was taken over by the Friedberg district court, was originally on Kaiserstrasse and was demolished in 1878. The building, built in the neo-renaissance style at the same location, was reopened as the Friedberg District Court (Hessen) in 1880.

In the 1950s, due to the limited space, an expansion was necessary, which could not be realized at the old location. A move to the historic castle buildings planned by the Ministry of Justice was rejected. A new building was built. The modern functional building was inaugurated on March 24, 1965 on Homburger Strasse in Friedberg. In September 1987 a new office and meeting wing was inaugurated on a neighboring property acquired in 1973.
