history

Bedelenhusen was first mentioned in 1254, in "Klosterarchiv 5" of the Haina monastery . The first document about Bedelenhusen comes from 1257. In 1467 the place had 14 Hausgesesse (male heads of household).

During the Thirty Years War the place was sacked by imperial troops in 1634 and 1636. In 1681 28 people were counted. 1686 Bellnhausen belonged to the places of the office Fronhausen.

In 1750 a footbridge was built over the Lahn, and in 1759 a customs post was built.

In 1842 the Lahn footbridge was replaced by a wider wooden bridge, and in 1877 a new stone bridge was built over the Lahn.

The population in 1939 was 340. After the Second World War it rose to 450 as a result of the influx of displaced people .

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on July 1, 1974, state law merged the previously independent municipalities of Bellnhausen, Erbenhausen, Fronhausen with Sichertshausen, Hassenhausen, Holzhausen and Oberwalgern to form the new larger municipality of Fronhausen.

In 2004 Bellnhausen celebrated its 750th anniversary with a photo exhibition, an Easter bonfire, border crossings and a festival week.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Bellnhausen 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 district of Marburg was responsible for the administration and the Fronhausen Justice Office was the court of first instance for Bellnhausen. 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 Fronhausen 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 The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance.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.

traffic

In addition to agriculture, Bellnhausen was shaped for centuries by its location on Frankfurter Weg , an important long-distance trade route from Frankfurt am Main to Bremen via Kassel . In the second half of the 19th century, this lost its importance for the place, as long-distance traffic was shaped by the Main-Weser Railway through neighboring Fronhausen (Lahn) . Today the place is on the federal highway 3 , which ran through the middle of the place until 1994. By dismantling the old B 3, the place has regained its character as a half-timbered village with idyllic corners, the Lahntal cycle path also leads over the old Lahn bridge and continues on the old B 3 to the neighboring district of Sichertshausen in the direction of Gießen.

The Main-Weser-Bahn stops in the main town of Fronhausen an der Lahn , with connections to Frankfurt in some cases without changing trains.
