history

overview

The place arose in the area of ​​the former Mark Heppenheim , which designated an administrative district of the Franconian Empire . On January 20, 773, Charlemagne donated the city of Heppenheim and its district, the extensive "Mark Heppenheim", to the imperial monastery of Lorsch . In the Lorsch Codex 1094 Erlenbach is mentioned for the first time as Erlebach in the description of the strokes and interest of the Fürth farm ( villicato Furde ) belonging to the monastery . On May 12, 1012, King Heinrich II in Bamberg, at the request of Lorsch Abbot Bobbo , granted the Lorsch Monastery a ban on forest and wild life within the Mark Michelstadt and the Mark Heppenheim for ever. This was done primarily with the aim of promoting the urbanization of the front Odenwald, which at that time still largely consisted of primeval forest. As part of these measures, Erlenbach was probably written and was about Fürth courtyard of the monastery tenth of charge .

The heyday of the monastery was followed by its decline in the 11th and 12th centuries. After Lorsch was subordinated to the Archdiocese of Mainz in 1232 , the Electoral Palatinate and the Archdiocese of Mainz were able to agree on the inheritance from the Lorsch Abbey at the beginning of the 14th century and the Palatinate parts were administered by the Lindenfels District Bishopric , which Erlenbach also belonged to. In 1461 Kurmainz pledged his possessions on Bergstrasse, and with it the possessions of the Lorsch Monastery went to the Electoral Palatinate, which introduced the Reformation in 1556 and abolished the monastery in 1564.

On September 29, 1414, Count Palatine Ludwig III. the donor Eberhard VII. from the Fürstenau line the tithe to Erlenbach and the villages of Siegelsbrunn, Ludewisches and his part in Scharbach ( Siedelsbrunn and Lautenweschnitz ) with court bailiwick and other accessories for man fief. This fiefdom was exchanged back in 1509 to the Palatinate for the village of Hetzbach near Beerfelden.

Under the rule of the Palatinate, Erlenbach belonged to the Lindenfels Office until 1803 , which was under the Heidelberg Upper Office until 1737 , and then formed its own Upper Office . There the place belonged to the Thalzent whose main court was held first in Glattbach , later in Ellenbach and finally in Schlierbach . Together with Lindenfels, the court had a place of execution in the "Faustenbacher Hecken auf dem Bühel". Thalzent had to bear half the costs for their maintenance . In its seal, the court had a shield with three fields. In the first field there was the Palatinate lion , in the second the Bavarian diamonds and in the third, lowest field, a boy on a hill with a ball floating over his head.

In the early days of the Reformation , the Palatinate rulers openly sympathized with the Lutheran faith, but it was not until Ottheinrich (Elector from 1556 to 1559) that the official transition to Lutheran teaching took place. After that, his successors and inevitably the population changed several times between the Lutheran , Reformed and Calvinist religions. Erlenbach is mentioned as a branch of Schlierbach in the Heidelberger Oberamtscompetenzbuch from 1610 . Erlenbach is listed as a branch in the church records of the Reformed community of Schlierbach from 1656 to 1908.

In 1613 there were 7 ½ hubs with 7 houseboats , 3 serfs and 2 women. At the end of the Thirty Years' War (1648), like many areas of the Electoral Palatinate, the place was almost deserted. After the devastating war, the Electoral Palatinate pursued a policy of resettlement in its area characterized by religious tolerance. But the wars that broke out in the troubled times that followed, such as the War of the Palatinate Succession (1688–1697) and the War of Spanish Succession (1701–1714) destroyed many of the efforts and tens of thousands of Palatine emigrated and the like. a. to North America and Prussia.

From a religious point of view, too, the time after the Thirty Years' War was marked by great unrest. In 1685 the Reformed Palatinate-Simmern line died out and the Catholic cousins ​​of the Palatinate-Neuburg line took over the government in the Electoral Palatinate with Elector Philipp Wilhelm . This ordered the equality of the Catholic faith in the predominantly Protestant Palatinate. Even during the War of the Palatinate Succession, France tried to advance the Counter-Reformation in the conquered areas and founded a number of Catholic parishes. The war ended in 1697 with the Peace of Rijswijk , which strengthened the position of the then reigning Catholic Elector Johann Wilhelm . This led to the decree of the Simultaneum on October 26, 1698 . According to this, the Catholics were entitled to use all reformed institutions such as churches, schools and cemeteries, while the reverse was not allowed. Furthermore, the reformed church administration, which had been independent until then, was subordinated to the sovereign. Only at the instigation of Prussia in 1705 came the so-called Palatinate church division in which the simultanum was reversed and the churches in the country, including rectories and schools, were divided between the Reformed and the Catholics in a ratio of five to two. There were special regulations for the three capitals Heidelberg , Mannheim and Frankenthal as well as the regional authorities Alzey , Kaiserslautern , Oppenheim , Bacharach and Weinheim . In cities with two churches, one should go to Protestants and the other to Catholics; in the others, where there was only one church, the choir was separated from the nave by a wall, and the one to the Catholics and the other to the Protestants. The Lutherans were only allowed those churches that they owned in 1624 or had built afterwards.

In 1784 Erlenbach is described as a place with 15 families, 74 souls. The demarcation contained 85 acres of arable land, 25 acres of meadows, 4 acres of gardens, and 3.5 acres of forest. The Great tithe was to two-thirds to the Kurmainzer Court Chamber on behalf of the Lorsch and one third to the spiritual administration of the pin to the Holy Spirit in Heidelberg, dissipate.

The late 18th and early 19th centuries brought far-reaching changes to Europe. As a result of the Napoleonic Wars , the Holy Roman Empire (German Nation) was reorganized by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 and ceased to exist with the laying down of the imperial crown on August 6, 1806. As a result of this reorganization and dissolution of the Electoral Palatinate, the Oberamt Lindenfels and with it Erlenbach became part of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt , which in 1806 became part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse , which was also formed under pressure from Napoleon .

In Hesse, Erlenbach belonged to the district of Lindenfels as well as the districts of Lindenfels and Heppenheim through a series of administrative reforms, until it came to today's Bergstrasse district in 1938.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse, the Seidenbach community joined the Erlenbach community on December 31, 1970, before the enlarged community joined the Fürth community a year later.

Administration and courts

Under Palatine sovereignty, administration and jurisdiction over the place were exercised by the "Thal-Zent" of the "Amtsvogtei Lindenfels". This district bailiwick was subordinate to the Upper Office of Heidelberg until 1737, after which Lindenfels became an independent Upper Office of the "Palatinate County of the Rhine" (in the "Electorate of Palatinate Bavaria" from 1777).

After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 had assigned the "Oberamt Lindenfels" to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt , it was initially continued there as the Hessian district bailiff . The Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt was merged in 1806 in the Grand Duchy of Hesse , which came into being under the pressure of Napoléon , where the area of ​​the "Lindenfels Office" was divided up in 1812 and Erlenbach was assigned to the Fürth office . The superordinate administrative authority was the "Administrative Region Darmstadt" which from 1803 was also referred to as the "Principality of Starkenburg". After Napoleon's final defeat, the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15 also regulated the territorial situation for Hesse, and in 1816 provinces were established in the Grand Duchy. The area previously known as the “Principality of Starkenburg”, which consisted of the old Hessian territories south of the Main and the territories on the right bank of the Rhine that were added from 1803, was renamed “Province of Starkenburg” . In 1821, as part of a comprehensive administrative reform, the district bailiffs in the provinces of Starkenburg and Upper Hesse of the Grand Duchy were dissolved and district councils were introduced, with Erlennbach becoming part of the Lindenfels district . As part of this reform, regional courts were also created, which were now independent of the administration. The district court districts corresponded in scope to the district council districts and the district court of Fürth was responsible as the court of first instance for the district of Lindenfels . This reform also regulated the administrative administration at the municipal level. In addition to Ellenbach , the mayor's office in Ellenbach was also responsible for Erlenbach, Eulsbach , Lautenweschnitz and Linnenbach . According to the municipal ordinance of June 30, 1821, there were no longer appointments of mayors , but an elected local council, which was composed of a mayor, aldermen and council.

In 1832 the administrative units were further enlarged and circles were created. After the reorganization announced on August 20, 1832, there should only be the districts of Bensheim and Lindenfels in the future in Süd-Starkenburg; the district of Heppenheim was to fall into the Bensheim district. Even before the ordinance came into force on October 15, 1832, it was revised to the effect that instead of the Lindenfels district, the Heppenheim district was formed as the second district, to which Erlenbach now belonged, alongside the Bensheim district. In 1842 the tax system in the Grand Duchy was reformed and the tithe and the basic pensions (income from property) were replaced by a tax system of the kind that still exists today.

As a result of the March Revolution of 1848, with the "Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords" of April 15, 1848, the special rights of the class were finally repealed. In addition, in the provinces, the districts and the district administration districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished on July 31, 1848 and replaced by "administrative districts", whereby the previous districts of Bensheim and Heppenheim were combined to form the administrative district of Heppenheim . Just four years later, in the course of the reaction era, they returned to the division into districts and Ellenbach became part of the newly created Lindenfels district .

The population and cadastral lists recorded in December 1852 showed for Erlenbach: Reformatory Filialdorf am Linnenbach with 190 inhabitants. The district consists of 376 acres , including 207 acres of arable land, 75 acres of meadows and 79 acres of forest.

In the statistics of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, based on December 1867, the Filialdorf Erlenbach with its own mayor's office, 25 houses, 192 inhabitants, the Lindenfels district, the Fürth district court, the Protestant parish Schlierbach of the deanery Lindenfels and the Catholic parish Lindenfels of the deanery Heppenheim are given .

After the Grand Duchy of Hesse had been part of the German Empire from 1871, a series of administrative reforms were decided in 1874. The state-specific rules of procedure as well as the administration of the districts and provinces were regulated by district and provincial assemblies. The new regulation came into force on July 12, 1874 and also decreed the dissolution of the Lindenfels and Wimpfen districts and the reintegration of Erlenbach into the Heppenheim district .

The Hessian provinces of Starkenburg, Rheinhessen and Upper Hesse were abolished in 1937 after the provincial and district assemblies were dissolved in 1936. On November 1, 1938, a comprehensive regional reform came into force at the district level. In the former province of Starkenburg, the Bensheim district was particularly affected, as it was dissolved and most of it was added to the Heppenheim district. The district of Heppenheim also took over the legal successor to the district of Bensheim and was given the new name Landkreis Bergstrasse .

The Grand Duchy of Hesse was a member state of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866 and then a federal state of the German Empire . It existed until 1919, after the First World War, the Grand Duchy for was republican written People's State of Hesse . In 1945 after the end of the Second World War , the area of ​​today's Hesse was in the American zone of occupation and by order of the military government, Greater Hesse was created , from which the state of Hesse emerged in its current borders.

In 1961 the size of the district was given as 94  ha , of which 18 ha were forest.

In the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse , the Seidenbach community merged with the Erlenbach community on December 31, 1970, before the enlarged community joined the Fürth community a year later. Erlenbach and Seidenbach as for all incorporated to Fuerth communities were ever a local district with the town council and mayor set up.

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

Courts in Hessen

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Darmstadt” was set up as a court of second instance for the Principality of Starkenburg. The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or the landlords. The Lindenfels Office was responsible for Erlenbach . From 1813 the newly formed Justice Office in Fürth was the first instance. 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 superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate.

With the formation of the regional courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Fürth regional court was the court of first instance from 1821 . 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 the Fürth Local Court and assigned to the district of the Regional Court Darmstadt .

Historical descriptions

In the attempt of a complete geographical-historical description of the Elector. Pfalz am Rheine from 1767 it says:

"Erlenbach. This little village already appears in the description of Huben and Zinse, which belonged to the courtyard of the Lorsch monastery in Fürth, and is called Erlebach . The Linnebach, indicated at the previous village, has its source in the district and runs through the village, but does not drive a mill. In 1784 the population was 15 families, 74 souls. The district contains only 85 acres of arable fields, 25 m. Meadows, 4 m. Gardens, and 3 and a half acres of forest. "

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

“Erlenbach (L. Bez. Lindenfels); reform. Filialdorf; is located on the Linnenbach and 3 ⁄ 4  St. from Lindenfels. There are 18 houses and 144 inhabitants, which, with the exception of 6, are Luth. and 1 Cath. all are reformed. The place already appears in the description of the Huben and Zinsen which the Lorsch Monastery owned. The village came from Churpfalz to Hessen in 1802. "

The latest and most thorough alphabetical lexicon of all localities in the German federal states from 1845 states:

"Erlenbach b. Lindenfels. - Village, to the reformed parish Schlierbach, resp. Catholic parish of Lindenfels. - 18 H. 144 E. - Grand Duchy of Hesse. - Starkenbueg Province. - Heppenheim district. - Landger.
