The seat of the court is in Michelstadt at Erbacher Straße 47. The judicial district of the Michelstadt District Court includes the cities and communities Bad König , Brensbach , Breuberg , Brombachtal , Erbach , Fränkisch-Crumbach , Höchst , Lützelbach , Michelstadt , Mossautal , Oberzent and Reichelsheim ( each including all parts of the city and district).

history

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Darmstadt” was set up as a court of second instance for the Principality of Starkenburg . 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 superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

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 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. “Landgericht Michelstadt” was therefore the name for the first instance court in Michelstadt from 1821 to 1879, today's district court. In the territorial territories of the Starkenburg province , there was still a judicial office in Michelstadt for court cases of the second instance, which was subordinate to the court court (replaced by the court court in 1824).

The German Courts Constitution Act of 1879 led to a uniform judicial organization throughout the empire . The “Hofgericht Darmstadt” has now become the “ Regional Court of Darmstadt ” as the superior second instance in the province, while the first instance courts have been renamed the District Court.

district Court

Due to the separation of justice and administration in the areas of Starkenburg , which belonged to the County of Erbach-Erbach and County of Erbach-Fürstenau, in 1822 by the Grand Ducal Hessian Ministry of the Interior and Justice, the Michelstadt Regional Court was formed, whose district initially had the following components:

• Amt Erbach with the city of Erbach, the village of Erbach and the places Erbuch , Ebersberg , Elsbach , Erlenbach , Ernsbach , Eulbach , Günterfürst , Haisterbach , Lauerbach , Roßbach , Schönnen , Würzberg and Zell ;
• Reichenberg office with the places Bockenrod , Eberbach , Erzbach , Frohnhofen , Gersprenz , Groß-Gumpen , Klein-Gumpen , Kirch-Beerfurth , Laudenau , Nieder-Kainsbach , Ober-Kainsbach , Ober-Easter , Unter-Easter , Reichelsheim, Rohrbach and Winterkasten ;
• the places Asselbrunn , Bullau with Eutergrund , Langenbrombach (Fürstenauer Seits), Michelstadt, Momart , Ober-Mossau , Rehbach , Steinbach , Steinbuch , Stockheim and Weiten-Gesäß from the Michelstadt and Fürstenau office.

In the course of the reorganization of the judicial districts in the Starkenburg province, which came into force on June 1, 1853 , extensive changes were made to the Michelstädter district court district, while on the one hand the Eberbach, Erzbach, Frohnhofen, Groß-Gumpen, Klein-Gumpen, Laudenau, Ober-Easter , Reichelsheim, Rohrbach, Unter-Easter and Winterkasten had to be handed over to the regional court district of Fürth , on the other hand, Unter-Mossau from the regional court district of Beerfelden and Kimbach , Langenbrombach (Breuberger Seits) and Vielbrunn from the regional court district of Höchst could be increased. On October 15 of the same year, the municipality of Bockenrod also went to the district of the Fürth regional court.

District Court

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts at the same location, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to the Michelstadt Local Court, assigned to the district of the regional court Darmstadt and submission of the Nieder-Kainsbach community to the Reinheim district court . As a result of all these changes, the district of the Michelstädtergericht now consisted of Asselbrunn, Bullau, Dorf-Erbach, Ebersberg, Erbach, Elsbach, Erbuch, Erlenbach, Ernsbach, Eulbach, Günterfürst, Haisterbach, Kimbach, Kirch-Beerfurth, Langen-Brombach (Breuberger Seits ), Langen-Brombach (Fürstenauer Seits), Lauerbach, Michelstadt, Momart, Ober-Gersprenz, Ober-Kainsbach, Ober-Mossau, Rehbach, Roßbach, Schönnen, Steinbach, Steinbuch, Stockheim, Unter-Gersprenz, Unter-Mossau, Vielbrunn, Wide buttocks, Würzberg and Zell.

With effect from April 1, 1904, the districts of Kirch-Beerfurth, Ober-Kainsbach, Ober- and Unter-Gersprenz were separated from the Michelstadt district court and from then on belonged to the district of the Reichelsheim district court, which was established at the same time .

On July 1, 1968

• the entire district court district of Beerfelden with the communities of Airlenbach , Beerfelden , Etzean , Falken-Gesäß , Finkenbach , Gammelsbach , Güttersbach , Hebstahl , Hesselbach , Hetzbach , Hüttenthal , Kailbach , Ober-Sensbach , Olfen , Raubach , Schöllenbach and Unter-Sensbach ;
• the communities Annelsbach , Birkert , Böllstein , Breitenbrunn , Dusenbach , Etzen-Gesäß , Forstel , Fürstengrund , Haingrund , Hainstadt , Hassenroth , Hembach , Hetschbach , Höchst im Odenwald , Hummetroth , Kirchbrombach , Bad König , Lützel-Wiebelsbach , Mümling-Grumbach , Neustadt , Nieder-Kinzig , Ober-Kinzig , Pfirschbach , Rai-Breitenbach , Rimhorn , Sandbach , Seckmauern and Wald-Amorbach of the district court district Höchst in the Odenwald ;
• the communities Affhöllerbach , Bockenrod, Eberbach, Erzbach, Frohnhofen, Gersprenz, Gumpen, Höllerbach , Kirch-Beerfurth, Klein-Gumpen, Nieder-Kainsbach, Ober-Kainsbach, Ober-Easter, Pfaffen-Beerfurth , Reichelsheim (Odenwald), Rohrbach, Unter -Ostern and Wallbach of the district court district Reichelsheim in the Odenwald ;
• the municipalities of Ober- and Unter-Hiltersklingen from the district court district of Fürth and
• the community of Rothenberg from the district court district of Hirschhorn

added to the Michelstadt District Court.

The last major changes to the Michelstadt district court were due to the regional reform in Hesse . On September 25, 1971, the district of Laudenau, which was incorporated into Reichelsheim, was added by the Fürth district court and, with effect from July 1, 1973, the communities of Brensbach with the incorporated district of Wersau and Fränkisch-Crumbach were added by the district court of Dieburg .
