history

The Landgrave Hessian court was first mentioned in 1338/1350 as a court uz dem walde . Later it was also mentioned as just before the forest (1376), Stuel am Walda (1575/1585), Grebenstuhl am Walde and from 1778 as Grebenstuhl Remsfeld . It was subordinate to the Office Homberg . From 1604 the court's venues were Remsfeld an Michaelis (September 29) and Homberg an Walpurgis (May 1). Before 1697 and later, the head grave of the court lived in Remsfeld .

The judicial district included a number of villages and settlements in the Knüllgebirge that changed over the centuries :

At the beginning of Napoleonic rule at the time of the Kingdom of Westphalia , the court was dissolved and the villages of the court belonged from 1807 to 1813 for the most part to the canton and peace court of Frielendorf (Allmuthshausen, Basfelder Hof, Holzhausen, Leuderode, Reddingshausen, Rückersfeld, Schellbach, Steindorf, Völkershain, Waßmuthshausen). The rest came partly to the canton and peace court of Homberg (Niederbeisheim and Oberbeisheim, Freudenthal, Relbehausen, Remsfeld, Rodemann, Roppershain, Welferode, St. Georg Monastery) and partly to the canton and peace court of Schwarzenborn (Nieder-Appenfeld and Ober-Appenfeld, Hergetsfeld, Nieder -Hülsa and Ober-Hülsa).

The End

With the fall of the Kingdom of Westphalia after the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , this regulation was reversed and in 1814 the Electorate of Hesse reintroduced the Homberg office with its lower courts and the previously existing judicial districts. Only Niederappenfeld and Niederhülsa were spun off and assigned to the Obergeis office.

The Hessian administrative reform of 1821, which separated the administration and the judiciary, then meant the end of the court on the forest. All villages of the previous court on the Efze, including Niederappenfeld and Niederhülsa, came administratively to the district of Homberg and, in terms of jurisdiction, to the district court of Homberg .
