District court Ziegenhain

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district court of Ziegenhain (until 1867 Justice Office Ziegenhain ) was a court of ordinary jurisdiction until 1943, with its seat in Ziegenhain in today's Schwalm-Eder district in Hesse .

history

In the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , the Ziegenhain office took over the lower jurisdiction as was the administration.

The reorganization of the judiciary in the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 led to the separation of jurisdiction and administration. The canton of Ziegenhain was now responsible for administration, the Ziegenhain District Court for jurisdiction. The peace court was subordinate to the district court of Hersfeld that was responsible for the district of Hersfeld .

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 Ziegenhain office in 1814.

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 districts (here the district of Ziegenhain ). The Ziegenhain judicial office was set up in Ziegenhain for the administration of justice.

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

The district court of Ziegenhain was closed on June 14, 1943 due to the war. After the Second World War, the court was not rebuilt. Its territory was added to that of the Treysa District Court .

building

The judicial office initially used a building from the 16th century on the city wall that today belongs to the penal institution . In the middle of the 19th century, the court took over a building at Paradeplatz 2 (next to Treysaer Tor) built around 1575, which had previously been used by the Hessian State Archives. After the court was not reopened after World War II, the house was sold and then used by an industrial company.

The building is a two-storey, four-axis quarry stone building with corner blocks and a concluding cove cornice. The plastered house was rebuilt in the 19th century. It is a listed building .
