geography

history

overview

The place was first mentioned in a document on June 6, 782 in a donation book of the Lorsch monastery . Hurfelden, the name at that time, came under the rule of the monastery. The name is possibly derived from Horo ( Old High German for swamp ) or from Hur ( Middle High German for wages , rent, interest ), which means something like "King's land assigned to those subject to interest". It is likely that a settlement existed before 782. However, there is no written record of this.

Fehlheim belonged to Lorsch Monastery until around 1130. In 1232 the monastery came to the Archbishopric of Mainz and was pledged to the Electoral Palatinate in 1461 , which abolished the monastery in 1564. In the course of the Thirty Years War , Fehlheim came back under Kurmainz rule. Through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 Fehlheim then fell to the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt , who joined the Confederation of the Rhine in 1806 under pressure from Napoleon and was raised to Grand Duke .

In 1803 only 269 inhabitants were counted, because a few centuries earlier wars and epidemics , plague and cholera had decimated the population . In contrast to other surrounding villages, the Fehlheimers were allowed to withdraw behind the protective walls of the city of Bensheim and to help defend it. This is what happened in 1620 when the Spanish general Ambrosio Spinola stood at the gates during the Thirty Years' War .

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

»Fehlheim (L. Bez. Bensheim) cath. Branch village; is 1 St. from Bensheim, has 47 houses and 408 cath. Inhabitant and 1 chapel with which the school building is connected. This place is without a doubt the old Hurfelden, which appears in a Lorcher document from 782. It is called Velheim and generally missing and came from Mainz to Hessen in 1802. "

On December 17, 1957, the "Wasserbeschaffungsverband Riedgruppe Ost" was founded in the Nibelungensaal of Lorsch town hall. In addition to Fehlheim, it also included the former communities of Einhausen , Lorsch , Rodau and Schwanheim . In December 1958 the construction of the “Kannegießer Tannen” waterworks began and a year later the head of the association in Einhausen was able to announce: “Water is now running out of the taps for 15,000 reed residents - and we want to be grateful”. This was followed in September 1960 by the “Kannegießer Tannen” waterworks on the boundary between Lorsch and Einhausen. The waterworks, which was built at a cost of 4.5 million D-Marks, together with the 74 kilometers of laid pipelines, was called the “largest joint project in the Bergstrasse district” after its completion.

Fehlheim belonged to Bensheim and its district for a long time, but had its own mayor . It was not until 1831 that it became an independent municipality with its own municipal administration. Personal responsibility lasts until 1971. On July 1, 1971, Fehlheim was incorporated into Bensheim on a voluntary basis as part of the regional reform in Hesse . For Fehlheim, a local district with a local advisory board and mayor was set up according to the Hessian municipal code.

Administration and courts

Under the rule of the Electorate of Mainz and Palatinate, Fehlheim belonged to the “ Zent Heppenheim ” of the office and later to the “Oberamtes Starkenburg” . In 1782 Kurmainz carried out an administrative reform in which Fehlheim was assigned to the newly created "Amtsvogtei Bensheim" . This was subordinate to the “Oberamt Starkenburg” of the “Lower Archbishopric” in the “Electorate of Mainz” .

When the "Oberamt Starkenburg" fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , which was called the Grand Duchy of Hesse from 1806 as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 , the "Amtsvogtei Bensheim" was continued under Hessian sovereignty until 1820, while the Oberamt was dissolved in 1815. In 1821 a comprehensive administrative reform took place, in which the district bailiffs in the provinces of Starkenburg and Upper Hesse of the Grand Duchy were dissolved and district councils were introduced, with Fehlheim becoming part of the district of Bensheim . As part of this reform, regional courts were also created, which were now independent of the administration. The district court districts corresponded in their scope to the district council districts and for the district council district Bensheim the district court Zwingenberg was responsible as the court of first instance. The seat of the court was deliberately separated from the seat of the district administrator in order to underline the independence of the judiciary. This reform also regulated the administrative administration at the municipal level. The mayor's office in Bensheim was also responsible for Fehlheim, although the mayors had been elected by the community since 1820 and there were no more appointments of mayors .

In 1832 the units were enlarged one more time and circles were created. As a result, Fehlheim came to the Bensheim district in August 1832 . 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 in 1848, the counties and administrative districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished in the provinces on July 31, 1848 and replaced by "administrative districts", which was reversed on May 12, 1852, during the reaction era. As a result, Fehlheim belonged to the Heppenheim administrative district between 1848 and 1852 , before the Bensheim district was again responsible for the higher-level administration.

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 269  ha , of which 2 ha were forest.

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

dishes

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. For the province of Starkenburg was Hofgericht Darmstadt set up as a court of second instance. 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 written family law cases and criminal cases. 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 were transferred to the newly created regional courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. The competent jurisdiction of the first instance was from 1821 at the regional court of Zwingenberg , from which the local court of Zwingenberg emerged in 1879 .

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 the local court of Zwingenberg and assigned to the district of the regional court Darmstadt . In the Federal Republic of Germany, the higher-level instances are the Darmstadt Regional Court, the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

In 1934 the Zwingenberg District Court was dissolved and the tasks were transferred to the Bensheim District Court .
