Lich District Court

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lich District Court (until 1879 Lich District Court ) was a Hessian court of ordinary jurisdiction from 1822 to 1934 with its seat in Lich .

history

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or the landlords . The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The second instance for the patrimonial courts of the landlords were the landlord law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate . The velvet justice office in Hungen was set up in 1807 for the entire Solms family house.

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance were transferred to the newly created regional courts in 1821/1822 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. The “Landgericht Lich” was therefore the name for the first instance court in Lich from 1822 to 1879. It was one of three regional courts in what was then the district of Hungen . In the territorial territories of the province of Upper Hesse there were still legal offices for court cases of second instance in Büdingen and Hungen , which were subordinate to the court. The German Courts Constitution Act of 1879 led to a uniform judicial organization throughout the empire . The "Hofgericht Gießen" has now been renamed the " Landgericht Gießen " ( Regional Court Gießen ) as the superior second instance in the province, while the first instance courts have been renamed the District Court.

As a result of the separation of justice and administration in the Solms possessions of Upper Hesse, which was not carried out until 1822, the Lich Regional Court was formed, consisting of the possessions of the Counts of Solms-Lich :

Here the Counts of Solms-Lich let the Grand Duchy of Hesse exercise their court rights on their behalf. The count also waived his right to the second instance, which was exercised by the law firm in Hungen. It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights became final with the “Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848 canceled.

At the beginning of 1837 the places Södel, Nieder-Weisel with Hausen-Oes were assigned to the Friedberg district court . The district court of Lich became on November 1, 1848 around the court of Arnsburg with the so-called Bergermühle from the district of Laubach , on June 1, 1849 around the place Nieder-Bessingen from the district of Hungen and finally through the reorganization of the judicial districts in the province of Upper Hesse with effect from October 15, 1853 to include the villages of Birklar , Dorf-Güll , Grüningen , Holzheim and Muschenheim , also from the Hungen District Court district .

District Court

On October 1, 1879, due to the Courts Constitution Act, the name was changed to Lich District Court, allocation to the district of Gießen District Court and the transfer of Holzheim and Ober-Hörgern to the now Butzbach District Court . The district of the Lich district court now consisted of Arnsburg, Birklar, Dorf-Güll, Eberstadt, Ettingshausen, Grüningen, Hattenrod, Lich, Münster, Muschenheim, Nieder- and Ober-Bessingen. On January 1, 1882, the districts of Bettenhausen and Langsdorf, which were separated from the Hungen District Court, were assigned to the Lich District Court, while Ettingshausen and Münster had to be transferred to the Laubach District Court at the same time . With effect from April 1, 1913, the community of Grüningen was assigned to the district court of Gießen .

On June 1, 1934, the Lich District Court was dissolved and the district of Eberstadt was assigned to the Butzbach District Court and the remaining places to the Gießen District Court.

The district court building

The lower part of Gießener Straße was built on in the period after 1860. The old hospital on the corner of Garbenteicher Strasse (on the site of today's Volksbank building) was built in 1866. At the same time, the late Classicist district court building in Amtsgerichtsstrasse 1 was built. The building is a nine-axis rectangular building with surrounding cornices and tall rectangular windows. Later the house was extended by two axes on the west side and a mezzanine was added. The front is divided horizontally in four ways by surrounding cornices and evenly lined up windows. The pilaster-framed main portal can be reached via an outside staircase. The main entrance itself consists of the original double-leaf door with a tall skylight. Today it is a listed building .

After the district court was repealed, the house was used by the city administration until 1956. The town hall was used as a school during this time. After the city administration returned to the town hall in the old town, the city hospital moved to Amtsgerichtsstrasse 1. In this context, an increase was made to make space for the maternity ward. With the inauguration of the new district hospital in 1986, the "Biological Working Group" (today "BAG Health Care") rented the building. In 2008 the company purchased the house from the city.
