history

Overview

Eulsbach 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 . After long disputes, 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 parts of the Palatinate were administered by the Lindenfels District Bailiwick, to which Eulsbach also belonged. Until 1737 Lindenfels was subordinate to the Heidelberg Oberamt , after which Lindenfels became an Oberamt .

The earliest surviving document mentioning the place as Ilespach facing in the years 1398-1400, when the Count Palatine Ruprecht the Hennel Wißwreiß of Lindenfels with a Gütel in Ilespach invested . Within the Lindenfels district, the place belonged to 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 Central Court had a shield with 3 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. Eulsbach was initially owned by the Kreißen von Lindenfels , who had it as a fiefdom from the Count Palatine . From these the place came to the Ulner von Dieburg , who leased it to the Hubner .

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. With the Reformation and its introduction, the Reformed parish arose in Schlierbach under Friedrich III , to which the Kolmbach , Glattbach , Winkel , Eulsbach, Erlenbach and Seidenbach branches belonged according to the Heidelberg Oberamtscompetenzbuch from 1610 . After the rectory in Schlierbach was destroyed by fire in the Thirty Years War , Eulsbach is run as a branch of Lindenfels. Later a pastor was reinstated in Schlierbach and from 1650 there were church records again.

In 1613 4 serfs , 5 women and 8 householders were counted. 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.

In 1784 Eulsbach is described as a hamlet made up of three hubs and that at that time, at today's Schlierbach, which was then called Thalbach, there was a flour mill and 7 families with 35 souls lived in 4 houses in the hamlet. The district consisted of 73 acres of fields, 28 acres of meadows, 4 ½ acres of gardens and 3 acres of forest. The Great tithe was two-thirds to the Kurmainzer Court Chamber on behalf of the Lorsch dissipate and one third to the spiritual administration of the pen to the Holy Spirit in Heidelberg.

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 Eulsbach 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 1821, as part of a comprehensive administrative reform, the district bailiffs in the provinces of Starkenburg and Upper Hesse of the Grand Duchy of Hesse were dissolved and district councils were introduced, with Eulsbach becoming part of the district council . Afterwards Eulsbach belonged to the districts of Lindenfels , Heppenheim and Bensheim as a result of several administrative reforms , before it came to today's Bergstrasse district in 1938 .

In the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse , the place joined the city of Lindenfels on December 31, 1970.

present

Even today, Eulsbach offers the image of an earlier small village complex, as the place was only supplemented by a few new buildings. The rural population has not changed significantly even after the conversion to a residential and tourist community.

Territorial history and administration

During the rule of the Electorate of the Palatinate , Eulsbach was administered by the "Amt Lindenfels" , which was under the Heidelberg Oberamt until 1737 , before Lindenfels itself functioned as the Oberamt. There Eulsbach was in the Thal-Zent area while the Oberamt belonged to the Palatinate Counties near Rhine in the Electorate of Palatinate Bavaria . As the chief official Lindenfels 1803 came to Hesse that was initially as Hessian Amtsvogtei continued and from 1812 Eulsbach was from the Office Fuerth managed. 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 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 this the Zente and the associated central courts had lost their function.

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 Eulsbach joining the district of Lindenfels . 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 arranged the administrative administration at the municipal level. In addition to Eulsbach , the mayor's office in Ellenbach was also responsible for the towns of 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.

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

»Eulsbach (L. Bez. Lindenfels) reform. Filialdorf; is ½ hour from Lindenfels on both sides of the Thalbach, has 11 houses and 75 inhabitants, except for 2 Luth. reform. are. Among these are 4 farmers, 18 artisans and 9 day laborers. In 1802 the place came from Churpfalz to Hesse. "

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. 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 Schlierbach now belonged, alongside the Bensheim district. Even after the district was formed in 1832, Eulsbach was still administered by the mayor's office in Ellenbach. 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 Schlierbach became part of the newly created Lindenfels district .

In the statistics of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, based on December 1867, the Eulsbach branch, the mayor's office Ellenbach, 10 houses, 67 inhabitants, the Lindenfels district, the Fürth district court, the Protestant Reformed parish Schlierbach and the Catholic parish Lindenfels of the Heppenheim dean's office are given. In 1912, Meyers also named the registry office Ellenbach for Eulsbach.

After the Grand Duchy of Hesse became part of the German Empire from 1871, a series of administrative reforms were carried out 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 Eulsbach 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 81  hectares , 19 hectares of which were forest.

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the place joined the municipalities of Glattbach , Schlierbach and Winkel on December 31, 1970 voluntarily to the city of Lindenfels. For Eulsbach, as for all the municipalities incorporated into Lindenfels, a local district with a local advisory board and local chief was set up in accordance with the Hessian municipal code.

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

Courts in Hessen

The jurisdiction of the Oberamt Lindenfels was transferred to the new justice office in Fürth in 1813. 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 .
