Goddelau is a district of Riedstadt in the Groß-Gerau district in southern Hesse . In the local dialect Goddelau is also referred to as "Golle".

geography

Goddelau is located in the Upper Rhine Plain , in the Rheingraben , about two kilometers from the Old Rhine . The next larger city is Darmstadt, about 10 km away .

To the north the local area borders on Wolfskehlen , to the west on Erfelden (both districts of Riedstadt). To the south of Goddelau is the Crumstadt district with the Philipp Hospital and to the east the city of Griesheim ( Darmstadt-Dieburg district ).

history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of Goddelau comes from a document dating back to 834: Count Gundram donated his property to the Fulda Abbey "in Terminis Gotalohono" . In the historical documents, the place name of Goddelau can be found in the following centuries, among other things, in the spellings: Godelohen (1128), Godela (1314), Godelauwe (1426) and Godelauw (1615).

The lords of Wolfskehlen are first mentioned as landlords , before the Counts of Katzenelnbogen gradually took possession of the village from 1356 . In the administrative structure of the County of Katzenelnbogen, Erfelden belonged to the Dornberg office . 1457 married Anna von Katzenelnbogen, daughter of Philip the Elder, Landgrave Heinrich III. of Hessen. With Philip's death in 1479, the County of Katzenelnbogen fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse .

In 1535 Landgrave Philipp I of Hesse donated the High Hospital , since 1904: Philipp Hospital , near Goddelau. It is one of the oldest psychiatric hospitals in the world.

Early modern age

When the Landgraviate of Hesse was divided under the heirs of Philip I in 1567, Goddelau came to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt . Even its first regent, Georg I , caused the Landrecht collection of the Upper County of Katzenelnbogen , compiled by his Chancellor, Johann Kleinschmidt , to become legally binding there. She was in Goddelau as a particular law , subsidiary complemented by the Common Law , to the end of the 19th century. It was not until January 1, 1900, when the Civil Code , which was uniformly valid throughout the German Reich , that the old particular law was suspended.

Over the centuries, the place has been shaped by the activity of the population in agriculture and handicrafts . In 1588 it had about 180 inhabitants.

The landowners in Goddelau in 1794 are the Mainz Cathedral Monastery , the St. Viktor Monastery in front of Mainz and the High Hospital (Philippshospital).

Modern times

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Goddelau in 1829:

"Goddlau (L. Bez. Dornberg) Lutheran parish village; is 2 St. from Dornberg, and has 76 houses and 552 inhabitants, who are Lutheran except for 1 Catholic and 32 Jews. There are peat graves in the area. - The village was formerly called Gotalohano and Godelaha . The Lorsch Abbey had a gradient here and the Lords of Bickenbach had important goods here. A noble von Godela family had their seat here. Johann von Wolfskehlen received this village as a fief in 1401 from Count Eberhard von Katzenellenbogen. Landgrave Wilhelm II collected the goods and inclines that the Lords of Wolfskehlen had here in the Bavarian feud. The place had its own chapel with an altar and a special chaplain, whom the pastor at Hofheim ordered; but after Hofheim had been converted into a hospital, Goddlau received a special pastor and Erfelden as a branch. "

Official system before 1821

In the early modern period, the functions of administration and jurisdiction were combined in the " office " at the lowest level , including the Dornberg office, which existed until 1821.

In 1806 the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt became the Grand Duchy of Hessen . Here was Erfelden in the province of Starkenburg . In the course of the administrative reform of 1821, the old offices were dissolved, district councils were set up for administrative tasks on the lower level and district courts were set up for the first instance jurisdiction.

Administration after 1821

The Dornberg district administration was now responsible for the higher-level administration in Goddelau . In 1832 the administrative units in the Grand Duchy were further enlarged and districts were created. As a result, Goddelau came to the Groß-Gerau district. The provinces, the counties and the administrative districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished on July 31, 1848 and replaced by administrative districts, but this was reversed on May 12, 1852. As a result, Goddelau belonged to the Darmstadt administrative district between 1848 and 1852 before the Groß-Gerau district was again responsible for the higher-level administration. The place remained there until today through all further administrative reforms.

In 1927 the Philippshospital was incorporated into Goddelau.

On the occasion of the regional reform in Hesse , Goddelau voluntarily merged with the neighboring community of Wolfskehlen on July 1, 1973 to form the new Goddelau-Wolfskehlen community, before the merger with the neighboring communities of Crumstadt , Erfelden and Leeheim to form the new community of Riedstadt took place on January 1, 1977 by virtue of state laws . Since then Goddelau has been the largest district and the seat of the administration of Riedstadt. Riedstadt has had city rights since 2007.

Judicial reforms

In the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt, the judicial system of the two higher authorities was reorganized with an executive order of December 9, 1803. The offices remained the first instance of justice in civil matters . For the Principality of Starkenburg , the “Hofgericht Darmstadt” was set up as a court of second instance for civil matters. In the first instance it was also responsible for civil family law and criminal matters . The higher appeal court in Darmstadt was superordinate to it .

With the administrative reform of 1821, courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were also created at the lowest level, which were independent of the administration. The district court Großgerau was now locally responsible for Goddelau . With the reform of the Reich judiciary , which took effect on October 1, 1879, it was renamed " Groß-Gerau District Court ".
