The Langendiebach court was northeast of Hanau on the northern edge of the Kinzig valley , in the southeast of the Wetterau .
history
Territorial lords
Originally the Langendiebach court belonged to the territory of Kurmainz . The early history of the court is closely linked to Ronneburg Castle , which was probably built by the Archbishops of Mainz to protect it. However, with the extinction of the Lords of Büdingen , the castle and court initially came to the Lords of Hohenlohe-Brauneck , who in turn sold this property to the Archdiocese from 1313. Mainz pledged both to the Counts of Hanau in 1426 . This pledge was redeemed in 1476 after the Mainz collegiate feud by the Counts of Isenburg and belonged (later as the Ronneburg office ) to their county.
In 1698 the administrative seat was moved from Ronneburg to Langenselbold , whose Selbold court had previously been merged with the Isenburg Office of Ronneburg in 1645. The subordinate jurisdiction remained an exception, but the financial administration was now in the hands of a common official cellar .
When the Isenburg territory - in the meantime advanced to the Principality of Isenburg in the Confederation of the Rhine - was finally mediated , its area north of the Main was divided into the Electorate of Hesse and the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1816 . Most of the Langendiebach court came to Kurhessen.
Later whereabouts
In the Electorate of Hesse, it was assigned to the Hanau district after the administrative reform of 1821 . The Electorate of Hesse was on the losing side in the German War and was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia . After the Second World War , the area of the former Langendiebach court became part of the newly formed state of Hesse . As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the area became part of the Main-Kinzig district on July 1, 1974 .
Components
- Langendiebach
- Ravolzhausen
- Rückingen - as Isenburg's after fiefdom , the manor and church patronage was owned by the von Rüdigheim and von Rückingen families, and later by the von Fargel and von Kameytzki families , so that Rückingen's affiliation with the Langendiebach court was less pronounced.
