from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The court on the Schwalm was a historical court district on part of the area of ​​today's municipality of Wabern in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district .

history

The Landgrave Hessian court is mentioned for the first time in 1462 and 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 Efze that met in Hebel . It comprised the three villages of Wabern, Zennern and Uttershausen and belonged to the Homberg district . Caßdorf, Hebel, Lendorf, Mardorf and Mühlhausen formed the court on the Efze, also under the Homberg office. From 1557 to 1606 at the latest, the courts on the Schwalm and on the Efze met together in Hebel.

In reports from the years 1575 to 1585 the court is referred to as "the Stuel uf der Schwalm", and from 1742 it was called "Grebenstuhl Wabern".

At the beginning of Napoleonic rule at the time of the Kingdom of Westphalia , the court was dissolved and the three villages belonged to the canton and peace court of Wabern from 1807 to 1813 , together with the villages of Betzigerode with Wenzigerode , Gombeth , Großenenglis , Kerstenhausen , Kleinenglis , Udenborn with the Kalbsburg as well Unthoughts with Rothhelmshausen .

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, ultimately meant the end of the court on the Schwalm. Wabern and Zennern came administratively to the Fritzlar district and, with regard to jurisdiction, to the Fritzlar judicial office ; Uttershausen came to the Homberg district and the Homberg district court .

Today only the recall Flurnamen "gallows field" in the district Uttershausen and "at half gallows" in the district Zennern to the former court.
