history

The Hüttenberg office was part of the legacy of the Counts of Gleiberg, who died out in the 12th century . Since the 14th century it was a Hessen-Darmstadt and various lines of the House of Nassau common condominium. In the final phase it belonged to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt and the County of Nassau-Saarbrücken .

Divisions

First division

With the introduction of the Reformation , dual rule turned out to be a problem, as Nassau was Reformed , but Hesse-Darmstadt had become Lutheran . In 1585 the condominium owners therefore decided to divide the property. Received

  • Nassau : Wißmar, Launsbach, Kinzenbach, Weidenhausen , Volpertshausen, Reiskirchen and the Hüttenberger share in Nieder-Wetz, Wüstungen , Werzhausen and Gehringshausen
  • Hessen-Marburg : the dish Lollar with Lollar, Daubringen, Mainzlar, Kirchberg, Ruttershausen, as well as Heuchelheim, Rodheim an der Bieber, Fellingshausen and Großen-Linden.
  • The rest of the area initially remained condominium.

Since then a Hessen-Darmstadt office Hüttenberg and a Nassau office Hüttenberg existed side by side.

Second division

Due to the progressive development of statehood but also because of different denominations, condominiums in the territories of the Old Kingdom were increasingly perceived as disruptive factors. The Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt and the County of Nassau-Weilburg therefore agreed in a contract dated June 16, 1703 to also share the remaining condominium. Received with the contract of June 16, 1703

  • County of Nassau-Weilburg: Dutenhofen, Lützellinden, Hörnsheim, Hochelheim, Niederkleen, Dornholzhausen, Groß-Rechtenbach and the previously Hesse-Darmstadt towns of Vollnkirchen and Klein-Rechtenbach.
  • Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt : Allendorf an der Lahn, Annerod, Hausen, Leihgestern, Langgöns, Kirchgöns, Pohlgöns, Schiffenberg Castle and the Neuhof.

Office Hüttenberg in Hesse

With the places preserved from the division of 1703, the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt formed its own "Office Hüttenberg", which continued to exist in the subsequent Grand Duchy of Hesse from 1806 and was dissolved in an administrative reform in 1821.

Office Hüttenberg in Nassau and Prussia

As part of the negotiations at the Congress of Vienna , the Duchy of Nassau agreed extensive territorial swaps with its neighbors. In this context, the Nassau office of Hüttenberg became Prussian and part of the Wetzlar district .

The landscape designation Hüttenberger Land , which is still in use today, and the name of the municipality Hüttenberg in the Lahn-Dill district , created from different locations in the area , refer to the historical office.
