history

The first written mention of the place took place in 1159 under the name Vronehusen (1159) in the Mainz document book 2 .

The Evangelical Church in Fronhausen dates back to the 12th century. From 1821 Fronhausen was the seat of a judicial office and from 1867 to 1943 the district court of Fronhausen .

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the two previously independent communities of Fronhausen and Sichertshausen voluntarily merged under the name Fronhausen on December 31, 1971 . On July 1, 1974, by virtue of state law, the large community of Fronhausen was formed through the merger of this community with the five smaller communities of Bellnhausen, Erbenhausen, Hassenhausen, Holzhausen and Oberwalgern.

In 2009, the residents of Fronhausen celebrated the 850th anniversary of their village since it was first mentioned in a document with numerous events. The Fronhausen association had prepared this for four years. The highlight was a four-day festival on the 3rd weekend in June on the fairground "On the Schwärz" with procession , Kommersbuch , disco evening and musical brunch. According to the Oberhessischer Presse, 1,400 people took part in the Kommers. At the same time, a new village chronicle entitled “From Essen to Hessen” was published by the local village history working group . 600 images and 100 text contributions by 40 authors were included. A new memorial stone was unveiled on the town hall square . The 800th anniversary celebrations in 1959 had already been celebrated on a similar scale.

Territorial history and administration

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

Courts since 1821

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen. Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisdiction, the administration was taken over by the districts. The Marburg district was responsible for the administration and the Fronhausen Justice Office was the court in the first instance responsible for Fronhausen. The Supreme Court was the Higher Appeal Court in Kassel . The higher court of Marburg was subordinate to the province of Upper Hesse. It was the second instance for the judicial offices.

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia, the Fronhausen Justice Office became the Royal Prussian District Court of Fronhausen in 1867 . In June 1867, a royal ordinance was issued that reorganized the court system in the areas that belonged to the former Electorate of Hesse. The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance. In the course of this, on September 1, 1867, the previous judicial office was renamed the District Court of Fronhausen. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal .

The district court of Fronhausen was closed in 1943. It was initially run as a branch of the Marburg District Court and finally dissolved in 1948. The judicial district was added to the Marburg District Court. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Marburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
