history

Middle Ages and Early Modern Times

The von Rodenstein family, who probably came from Fränkisch-Crumbach , initially owned the Franconian-Crumbach estate .

During the Thirty Years' War the family got into great financial difficulties. In 1653 she sold half of the rule to the Landgrave of Hessen-Darmstadt . The von Rodenstein family died out in the male line in 1671. The Landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt passed their share of the Franconian-Crumbach rule on to well-deserved top officials, a quarter to Weiprecht von Gemmingen , the other quarter received in 1719 by Johann Rudolf Victor Freiherr von Pretlack , whose descendants passed it to the Barons of Gemmingen-Hornberg in 1802 sold

Transfer to Hessen

At the end of the Old Kingdom , the rule of Franconian-Crumbach was completely in the hands of the von Gemmingen family. With the Rhine Confederation Act of 1806, state sovereignty over all imperial knighthood possessions fell to the larger states surrounding them. The rule of Fränkisch-Crumbach fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse , which it incorporated into its province of Starkenburg . However, the won territories were subject to the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy, but the sovereignty rights of the previous rulers had to be preserved. Of course, this disturbed the Grand Duchy in its sovereignty.

However, during the administrative reform between 1820 and 1822, the Grand Duchy managed to largely integrate the Franconian-Crumbach rule into the state structures. With this administrative reform, jurisdiction and administration were also separated at the lower level . District districts were created for the administrative tasks previously performed in the offices, and district courts for the first instance jurisdiction. The dominion of Fränkisch-Crumbach was dissolved and its administrative tasks were transferred to the Reinheim district council and its jurisdiction tasks to the Lichtenberg district court . To this end, the Grand Duchy had reached an agreement with the Lords of Gemmingen, according to which state administration and jurisdiction were active in the area of ​​the former rule, but did so in the name of patrimonial rule.
