history

In the course of the separation of jurisdiction from the administration and abolition of the patrimonial courts in the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach in 1850, the Geisa Justice Office was established, whose district consisted of the former communities of Apfelbach , Bermbach , Borbels , Borsch , Bremen , Buttlar , Geblar , Geisa, Geismar , Gerstengrund , Ketten , Kranlucken , Mieswarz , Motzlar , Otzbach , Reinhards , Schleid , Spahl , Walkes , Wenigentaft , Wiesenfeld and Zitters of the previous Geisa office was formed.

With the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the judicial office was converted into the Geisa District Court and at the same time assigned to the newly established Eisenach District Court . The district court district of Geisa was expanded to include the town of Lenders from the repealed Dermbach judicial office .

The Geisa district court, which had been in Thuringia since 1920, was repealed on October 1, 1949 and its entire district was assigned to the Vacha district court .

District Court building

The building, built in 1540, initially served as a cellar and granary. From the end of the 16th to the beginning of the 17th century, the building was owned by Melchior von Dernbach called Graul, bailiff in Brückenau, imperial councilor and Fulda court marshal, brother of Abbot Balthasar von Dernbach and father of Peter Philipp von Dernbach , who later became the Prince-Bishop from Bamberg and Würzburg. Under the prince abbots Placidus von Droste (1678–1700) and Konstantin von Buttlar (1714–1726) it was converted into an office and court seat. Although the Geisa district court was dissolved in 1949 as part of a structural reform, the building has kept this name to this day. For many years it served as a residential and office building and to house the after-school care center . Today the guest house of the Point Alpha Foundation is located in the district court building. The rooms have been extensively renovated and modernized. The result was an extension that can be used as a modern conference room with space for up to 120 people, as well as stylish hotel rooms in an interesting atmosphere of old and modern. The district court is bordered to the west by a single-storey outbuilding with a gateway that bears the coat of arms of Konstantin von Buttlar and used to house the prison.
