Court on the Efze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The court on the Efze was a historical judicial district on part of the area of ​​today's town of Homberg (Efze) in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district .

history

The Landgrave Hessian court was first mentioned in a document in 1462. It was formed after Landgrave Ludwig I acquired the Falkenberg villages of Caßdorf , Hebel , Lendorf , Mardorf , Mühlhausen and Uttershausen at the same time as the court on the Schwalm , which was also part of the Homberg district. Werner von Falkenberg had sold Uttershausen in 1426 and the other villages in 1441 to the Landgrave.

The court included the villages of Caßdorf, Hebel, Lendorf, Mardorf and Mühlhausen, met in Hebel and belonged to the Homberg office . In 1537 the villages Berge and Lembach were added.

The three villages of Uttershausen, Wabern and Zennern formed the court on the Schwalm, also part of the Homberg district. At the latest from 1557 and until 1606 the two courts met together in Hebel.

At the beginning of Napoleonic rule at the time of the Kingdom of Westphalia , the court was dissolved and the villages of the court, with the exception of Uttershausen, belonged to the canton and peace court of Homberg from 1807 to 1813 ; Uttershausen came to the canton and peace court of Wabern .

The End

With the fall of the Kingdom of Westphalia after the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , this regulation was reversed and the Electorate of Hesse reintroduced the Homberg office with its lower courts in 1814. The Hessian administrative reform of 1821, which separated the administration and the judiciary, then meant the end of the court on the Efze. All villages of the previous court came administratively to the district of Homberg and with regard to jurisdiction to the district court of Homberg .
