Gohe (Bremen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gohe were court units of the medieval Gogerichte , which played a role in Bremen and the Bremen district for the defense, taxation and maintenance of the dikes . They were disbanded during the French era .

Gohe

In the immediate vicinity of Bremen there was Goh Vieland on the left of the Weser and Gohe Hollerland , Blockland and Werderland with the courts in Walle and Gröpelingen on the right . Particular judicial districts were Borgfeld and Huchting . The Vieland was divided into the Gohe Ober- and Niedervieland in 1598 and Holler and Blockland were combined. That left “four Gohe”.

Gohgräfe

Gohgräfe were judges of a Gohs and presidents of the Goh courts, which had the high and low jurisdiction. They were initially elected for a year by the ministerials who owned land in the Goh. As dike harbors, they supervised the maintenance of the dikes and initiated the construction of ditches and paths. They also had to ensure that the male residents were ready to defend themselves. At the end of the 15th century, the Gohgräfen came from among the landowning councilors and were elected for life. Since 1551 they had only the lower jurisdiction, the higher one lay with the Bremen council , which was also the court of appeal. The council then set up the Gohgräfen from 1598, which were no longer elected and came from the four urban quarters.

Reeves , Tower people, tax collectors, and Dammvögte Sauvegarden survived the Gohgräfen as official delegates.

Organs in the goh

Organs of peasant cooperatives were the district courts (with the Gohgräfen as chairman), dike dishes (with the dyke Gräfen as chairman) and the emergency and cry courts, which also Unterrichter and country jurors worked. The Gohgräfen were elected annually by the residents until 1810.

The organs were the landlords' convents and the dyke associations, headed first by the Gohgräfen, then by special dyke harbors and dyke bailiffs.

The Gohe's jurisdiction ended with the French and was not restored after 1813. In 1817 the Landherrnamt took its place .
