history

Origin as a central court

The court, whose competence included both the lower and the high jurisdiction , probably emerged from a central court of the same name . (Also on the Sendberg were broadcast courts of the Canons' Monastery of Spieskappel near Frielendorf and the Archbishops of Mainz .) It was first mentioned in a document in 1233 as a comecia in Semedinberge , as a Landgrave -Thuringian court. Landgrave Konrad von Thuringia , who ruled the Hessian part of the Landgraviate of Thuringia from 1231 to 1234, exempted the property of the Canons' Monastery of Spieskappel in Leimsfeld in the Sendberg judicial district from his jurisdiction, but still reserved blood jurisdiction . The colonists should also continue to appear at the unsolicited things that take place regularly three times a year on the Sendberg and be obliged to follow the land in case of general need. In 1235, Landgrave Konrad confirmed this decision, but crimes worthy of death should continue to be tried in front of the Landgrave's scultetus in relation to the three unofficial things on the Sendberg .

As is expressly attested, the chairman of the court was an official appointed by the landgrave - the scultetus or centurio (mayor or centgraf).

Dish on a stick

The court was probably in the late 13th century under Landgrave Henry I of Hesse to Frielendorf or on the spit tower relocated and the Office Homberg subordinated where Wide Child wood home in 1273 as the first magistrate is attested. In the following it was sometimes referred to as the “Frielendorf Court”, the “Spies Court” or the “Spieskappel Court”. The Homberg office then comprised the districts of six courts: court on the Schwalm , court on the Efze , back court , court Vernegau , court on the forest and court on the spit (court Frielendorf, formerly court on the Sendberg).

According to Salbuch from 1537, Frielendorf, Ebersdorf , Gebersdorf , Leimsfeld, Linsingen , Oberbegrenzebach , Oberkappel , Seigertshausen and Todenhausen as well as the landgrave's part of Lanertshausen still belong to the dish on the spit .

In 1542 the court was assigned to the Ziegenhain office.

In the last quarter of the 18th century, the villages of Frielendorf, Gebersdorf, Leimsfeld, Linsingen, Spieskappel and Todenhausen belonged to the judicial district of the Frielendorf court .
