geography

Grebenau is located at an altitude of 248 to 501 meters north-east of the Vogelsberg, about 26 km north-west of Fulda in the so-called Gründchen , at the confluence of the Schwarza with the Jossa .

Since 1972, when the districts of Alsfeld and Lauterbach were dissolved in the Vogelsberg district with the Hessian regional reform , the term Gründchen has been a synonym for the city of Grebenau, which has now been extended by incorporations, with its eight districts.

history

Great coat of arms Grebenau

The oldest traces of settlement in the area around Grebenau are found in the archaeological excavations from the time of the tumulus in the 2nd millennium BC (tumulus). The history of Grebenau is closely connected with the "road through the short Hessen" . Grebenau was probably a Carolingian street festival around 800 . Grebenau was first mentioned in a document under the name Greuenhowa in 1265. With the political structure, the area of Hersfeld and Fulda was evangelized around this time. Around 1270 a branch of the Johanniter was founded from Nidda . In 1372 Grebenau came under Landgrave Hessian influence when the Order of St. John sold his house in Grebenau to the Landgrave for 3,000 Schillings. The order received it back as a pledge, and only after the Reformation did it finally become Hessian in 1571. With the amalgamation of the two courts of the so-called "Hainische Dorf" (Wallersdorf, Hof Merlos and Bieben) with the court Grebenau to "Amt Grebenau" Grebenau received city rights on June 10, 1605.

With the introduction of the German municipal code of 1935, Grebenau lost its town and market rights. It wasn't until September 1, 1958, that she received it back, together with Romrod and Kirtorf.

Jewish community

In the 19th century Grebenau was the city with the highest proportion of Jews in Hesse.

Incorporations

On December 31, 1971, as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the previously independent communities of Eulersdorf, Reimenrod, Schwarz, Udenhausen and Wallersdorf were incorporated into the city of Grebenau. On August 1, 1972, Bieben with Merlos was added by state law.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Grebenau was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus for Grebenau by the Grebenau office. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance were transferred to the newly created regional courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. "Alsfeld Regional Court" was therefore the name of the court of first instance in Alsfeld from 1821 to 1879, today's district court, which was responsible for Grebenau.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to the Alsfeld district court and the district was assigned to the district of the regional court Pouring . In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Regional Court of Giessen, the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
