Geilshausen is one of six districts of the municipality of Rabenau in the central Hessian district of Gießen and has around 800 inhabitants.

history

The exact time of the establishment is unknown. The settlement of Goulenhusin , mentioned in 1304, has its origins probably as early as the 8th century. Its name changed over time from "Gawelshusen" (15th century) to "Gelshausen" (16th century).

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Mainzlar in 1830:

"Geilshausen (L. Bez. Grünberg) evangel. Branch village; is 1 1 ⁄ 2  St. from Grünberg an der Lumda, and belongs to the baron. Family from Nordeck zur Rabenau. There are 86 houses, 443 inhabitants, who are Protestant apart from Catholics and 4 Jews, as well as 1 church and 1 schoolhouse. The inhabitants, among whom are 45 peasants and 11 artisans, partly do linen weaving and trade in blood hedgehogs and earthenware. - Geilshausenm, formerly known as Gawelsshusen , was part of the Londorfer Mark in the 15th century. In 1822 the Freiherrl. The von Nordeck zur Rabenau family ceded part of the patrimonial jurisdiction to the state. "

The municipality of Geilshausen was incorporated into the municipality of Rabenau on December 31, 1971 as part of the regional reform in Hesse .

Village church

The Evangelical Church of Geilshausen has a Gothic choir tower from the 15th century, which has a defensive character. The 21 meter high church tower on a square floor plan gets its unusual appearance from four machicolations . In the 1950s, a nave with a gable roof was added to the west.

Territorial history and administration

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

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or the registrar and thus the “Patrimonial Court of the Barons Nordeck zur Rabenau ” in Londorf was responsible for Geilshausen . 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 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 and city courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. In 1822, the barons of Nordeck zur Rabenau ceded their rights at the Londorf court to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. “ Landgericht Grünberg ” was therefore from 1822 to 1879 the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Geilshausen.

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 "Amtsgericht Grünberg" and assigned to the district of the regional court of Giessen . Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Regional Court of Giessen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
