Bettenhausen is one of nine districts of the city of Lich in the central Hessian district of Gießen and is four kilometers east of the core city on the northern edge of the Wetterau .

history

Limes course in the Wetterau

Findings point to a settlement as early as the Neolithic (4000–1200 BC) or the bell-cup culture.

The Wetterau-Limes section of the Upper German-Raetian Limes ran in the eastern part of the Bettenhausen district ; a so-called small fort was located in today's Riesengraben corridor .

The oldest known mention of Bettenhausen as Bettenhusen comes from the Lorsch Codex and dates to April 29, 771 .

In the 13th century and 14th century, one of the likely Monastery Arnsburg supervised Begin Klause in have passed: 1350 donated force Knights of Bellersheim , his wife and his brother to salvation her grandmother grain to the hermitage to Bettenhausen.

In 1423 , Bettenhausen , which at that time belonged to the County of Falkenstein , fell to Bernhard von Solms by dividing the estate .

The greatest accident date in the history of the place is April 5, 1635 , it was in the middle of the Thirty Years War : Ernst von Mansfeld , whose headquarters was in the nearby Lich, had some mercenaries from the Spangenberg Regiment, which was in Bettenhausen , for reasons that are not known to us was to be executed. Their comrades got so angry that they set the entire village on fire. Only the church and two houses attached to the stone churchyard wall withstood the fire. Many of the residents who fled to the neighboring cities of Hungen and Lich fell victim to the raging plague there ; In 1640 there were only ten families left.

By the year 1670, Bettenhausen was somewhat rebuilt. Around this time, the place that had previously been a branch of the Hungen parish became an independent parish. In 1747, in the meantime the Reformed rite had also been introduced in the village , the old church from the 13th century was torn down due to dilapidation and replaced by a new building, which was inaugurated on October 29, 1748. The old building calculations show that 32 ohms (equivalent to about 3200 liters) of beer were drunk during the construction .

From 1657 school lessons in Bettenhausen are documented. It took place in the town hall for a long time until a school building of its own was built in 1914. It was not until the beginning of the school year 1951/52 that there was two-class teaching; Since 1964, the children from the 5th grade onwards have attended the new central school in Lich (Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Schule) , in 1969 the school was completely closed, and the primary school children have been schooled in Langsdorf since then .

In 1906 the first telephone was installed in the Bettenhausen municipal office; after a municipal council resolution, the connection to electricity took place in 1913 . A municipal waterworks went into operation in 1908.

With the influx of refugees from eastern Germany after the Second World War , the population increased considerably from 1945 onwards.

Territorial reform

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the community of Bettenhausen was incorporated into the city of Lich on December 31, 1971 on a voluntary basis . For Bettenhausen, as for all parts of the city, 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 Bettenhausen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1803

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 landlords and thus the "Patrimonial Court of the Princes Solms-Braunfels" in Hungen was responsible for Bettenhausen from 1806. 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 were the civil law firms. 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 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. From 1822, the princes of Solms-Braunfels let the Grand Duchy of Hesse exercise their court rights on their behalf. “ Landgericht Hungen ” was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Bettenhausen. The prince 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 in 1848 that the special rights of the civil servants became final with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848 canceled. With effect from January 1, 1882, the communities of Bettenhausen were assigned to the Lich 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 in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Lich Local Court" and allocation to the district of the regional court of Giessen . On June 1, 1934, the Lich District Court was dissolved and Bettenhausen was assigned to the Gießen District Court . The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.
