Argenstein is a district of the municipality Weimar (Lahn) in the central Hessian district of Marburg-Biedenkopf . The place currently has about 370 inhabitants and is located on the western bank of the Lahn ; to the west it is framed by the Par-Allna and to the northeast by the mouth of the Allna .

history

Argenstein was first mentioned in 1332 as Argorstene . Argenstein received its own school in 1902, but it no longer exists today. After a large part of the village was up to one meter under water during a flood in 1946, the village was canalised from 1963 to reduce the risk of flooding.

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the community of Argenstein voluntarily joined the large community of Weimar (Lahn) on July 1, 1972. For Argenstein, as for the other districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local council was set up.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Argenstein was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1821

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 the districts. The Marburg district was responsible for the administration and the Fronhausen judicial office was the court of first instance for Argenstein. The Supreme Court was the Higher Appeal Court in Kassel . The higher court of Marburg was subordinate to the province of Upper Hesse. It was the second instance for the judicial offices.

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia, the Rauschenberg Justice Office became the Royal Prussian District Court of Fronhausen in 1867 . In June 1867, a royal ordinance was issued that reorganized the court system in the areas that belonged to the former Electorate of Hesse. The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance. In the course of this, on September 1, 1867, the previous judicial office was renamed the District Court of Fronhausen. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal .

The district court of Fronhausen was closed in 1943. It was initially run as a branch of the Marburg District Court and finally dissolved in 1948. The judicial district was added to the Marburg District Court.

In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Marburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
