from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jesberg District Court (until 1867 Judicial Office Jesberg ) was a court of ordinary jurisdiction until 1968 with its seat in Jesberg in today's Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse .

history

Since the Middle Ages, the court Jesberg, the 1241-1586 consisted kurmainzisch was and then through agreement and the purchase of Hesse-Kassel came. As in the Electorate of Mainz, it was subsequently owned by various noble families until 1721. With the death of Ludwig Eitel von Linsingen (1655–1721), headmaster of the four high hospitals in Hesse, the court and the property belonging to it fell to Landgrave Karl , who gave it to his son Maximilian in 1723 as the rule of Jesberg . When he died in 1753, heavily in debt and without sons, bankruptcy proceedings lasted 15 years until the court finally fell back on Landgrave Friedrich II in 1768 . It was initially assigned to the Borken office , but was then placed under the Schönstein office as early as 1770 . In 1791, together with the Waltersbrück court, it was placed under the newly created office of Jesberg .

The reorganization of the judiciary in the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 led to the separation of jurisdiction and administration. The canton of Jesberg was now responsible for administration, the Jesberg Peace Court for jurisdiction. The peace court was subordinate to the district court of Marburg , which was responsible for the district of Marburg .

With the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1813, the separation of jurisdiction and administration was reversed and the Electorate of Hesse reintroduced the office of Jesberg in 1814.

Jesberg Castle, seat of the former local court

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen. Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisdiction, the administration was taken over by newly formed circles . The Jesberg judicial office was set up in Jesberg.

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia , the justice office became the royal Prussian district court of Jesberg in 1867.

With the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act, the district court continued to exist under his name. When the war began in 1939, the last magistrate was drafted into military service. On June 15, 1943, the court was temporarily closed. The district court of Homberg (Efze) held court days here twice a month . In 1945 the court was finally closed.
