Burkhards is a district of Schotten in the Vogelsbergkreis in central Hesse .

geography

The place is embedded in the Niddertal on the southern edge of the Vogelsberg, southeast of the main town and borders the Wetterau district . The Nidder flows through Burkhards . The district road 141 with the street name Niddergrund leads from north to south . Burkhards is a popular place for hikers and pilgrims thanks to its good starting point for the Hoherodskopf and Taufstein in the north as well as the Bonifatius route from Mainz to Fulda , which runs past the site . The Marcellinuskapelle (resting place of the funeral procession of Boniface) is located approx. 1 km south. Historically, Burkhards is closely linked to St. Boniface. West of Burkhards borders the Hillerswald, through which the Hillersbach flows, and to the east the Heegwald with the highest elevation of Burkhards borders the Gaulskopf (540 m). Due to the altitude, the climate is very mild in summer and harsh and snowy in winter. Due to the striking mountain ranges and the elongated valley location, the topography of the Burkhardser Niddertal is not too seldom reminiscent of that of the Allgäu.

history

The oldest known written mention of Burkhards took place in the year 1020 in Codex Eberhardi with the place Schwickartshausen as Burchardesrode . A church was named . The place name is derived from the Gaugrafen der Wetterau , Count Borchart (Burkhard), who lived around the year 817. He gave the monastery of Fulda under his abbot Ratgar his land on the river Nitorn . According to Steen, this territory with the area "iuxta fluvium Nitorn" (close to the Nidder) is identical to Burkhards. A later mention was made around 1160 as Burchartes .

In 1311 Burkhards became an independent court. Its history was closely linked to that of the Crainfeld court . On September 2, 1419, the villages and courts of Burkhard, Crainfeld , Eschenrod , Herchenhain , Kaulstoss and Schmalenbach were handed over to the brothers Johann II and Gottfried IX by Hermann II von Buchenau , the then administrator and later abbot of the Fulda monastery . pledged by Ziegenhain-Nidda for 300 guilders .

After a chapel , a church was built in the 14th century , but it had to be demolished in 1754 because of dilapidation. A new church was immediately built.

In 1826 there were six mills and eight inns in the district of Burkhard. Buchwald's mill was named in 1854.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Burkhards in 1830:

“Burkhards (L. Bez. Schotten) evangel. Parish village; Located in Vogelsberg, 2 St, from Schotten an der Nidder, has 125 houses, 690 evangelicals. Pop., And 1 church, 1 grinding and oil mill. - This village was a fief of Fuld and is mentioned for the first time in 1020. At that time the church in Crainfeld was endowed with a hat here. "

In Burkhard's dialect, the place name is pronounced "Burgeds", a modification of the historical Burchartes.

Territorial reform

In the course of regional reform in Hesse , Burkhards was incorporated into the city of Gedern on December 31, 1971 . When it became clear that Gedern wanted to remain in the Wetteraukreis, the Vogelsberg villages of Burkhards, Kaulstoss and Sichenhausen were changed by state law to the town of Schotten, which changed to the Vogelsbergkreis, on August 1, 1972.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Burkhards was located or 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 Lißberg office was responsible for Burkhards. 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 establishment 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. Burkhards much in the judicial district of the " Landgericht Schotten ".

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 "Amtsgericht Schotten" and the district was allocated of the regional court of Giessen .

With effect from July 1, 1968, the local court of Schotten was dissolved and Burkhards came to the judicial district of the local court of Nidda . On January 1, 2012, the district court of Nidda was also dissolved in accordance with the resolution of the Hessian state parliament and Burkhards was assigned to the district court of Büdingen . The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.
