history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of Dornheim - as Thornheim - can be found for the year 779 in the Lorsch Codex : A Uoda donated her inherited property in Dornheim and other places to the Lorsch Monastery for her salvation .

In historical documents Dornheim can be found in the following centuries with the following spellings: Thorheimono, in terminis (818), Dornheim, villa (1184), Dornheym (1327) and Dornheim (1327).

Eberbach Monastery, which is very wealthy in the area , maintained a large farmyard in Dornheim, the Riedhäuserhof, mentioned in 1159 as Villa Rihusen . The Counts of Katzenelnbogen , Kurmainz and Kurpfalz are named as other landowners in Dornheim .

Dornheim local nobility has been known since the 12th century. Until it was pledged to Count Diether V von Katzenelnbogen by Wilhelm von Holland in 1249, Dornheim was an imperial village , and the residents were exempt from compulsory labor.

In 1479 the Counts of Katzenelnbogen died out. The Landgraves of Hesse were heirs .

Early modern age

The first court seal , later the template for the coat of arms, was introduced in 1543.

When the Landgraviate of Hesse was divided under the heirs of Philip the Magnanimous in 1567, Dornheim came to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt . Even its first regent, Georg I , caused the Landrecht collection of the Upper County of Katzenelnbogen , compiled by his Chancellor, Johann Kleinschmidt , to become legally binding there. She was in Dornheim as a particular law , subsidiary supplemented by the Common Law , to the end of the 19th century. It was not until January 1, 1900, when the Civil Code , which was uniformly valid throughout the German Reich , that the old particular law was suspended.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Dornheim in 1829:

»Dornheim (L. Bez. Dornberg) Lutheran parish village; is located on the old Nekar bed, 3 ⁄ 4  St. from Dornberg, has a beautiful church, 138 houses and 932 inhabitants, all of which are Lutheran except for 5 Catholics, 7 Mennonites and 53 Jews. There are peat graves here. - Dornheim used to be an imperial village, which King Wilhelm pledged to Count Diether von Katzenellenbogen in 1248, which pledge was not redeemed. The parish probably owes its origin to the old Wetterau Counts of Nuringen. Before the Reformation, Dornheim had 2 churches. The main church was in front of the place and burned down by a ray of weather. The other was in the village and became the main church after the fire of the former. In 1597 a larger one was built in its place. "

Constitution

Official system before 1821

In the early modern period, the functions of administration and jurisdiction were combined in the " office " at the lowest level , including the Dornberg office , which existed until 1821.

In 1806 the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt became the Grand Duchy of Hessen . Here Dornheim was in the province of Starkenburg . In the course of the administrative reform of 1821, the old offices were dissolved, district councils were set up for administrative tasks on the lower level and district courts were set up for the first instance jurisdiction.

Administration after 1821

The Dornberg district council was now responsible for the higher-level administration in Dornheim . In 1832 the administrative units in the Grand Duchy were further enlarged and districts were created. This brought Dornheim to the Groß-Gerau district. The provinces, the counties and the administrative districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished on July 31, 1848 and replaced by administrative districts, but this was reversed on May 12, 1852. As a result, Dornheim belonged to the Darmstadt administrative district between 1848 and 1852 before the Groß-Gerau district was again responsible for the higher-level administration. The place remained there until today through all further administrative reforms. In the course of administrative reform in Hesse municipalities Dornheim, Wallerstädten and Gross-Gerau were on 1 January 1977 the new city Gross-Gerau together . Local districts were not formed.

Judicial reforms

In the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt, the judicial system of the two higher authorities was reorganized with an executive order of December 9, 1803. The offices remained the first instance of justice in civil matters . For the Principality of Starkenburg , the “Hofgericht Darmstadt” was set up as a court of second instance for civil matters. In the first instance it was also responsible for civil family law and criminal matters . The higher appeal court in Darmstadt was superordinate to it .

With the administrative reform of 1821, courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were also created at the lowest level, which were independent of the administration. The district court Großgerau was now locally responsible for Dornheim . With the reform of the Reich judiciary , which took effect on October 1, 1879, it was renamed " Groß-Gerau District Court ".
