history

Territorial history

Two villages

The two parts of the place west and east of the Salzbach belonged to different administrative units and historically to different states until the regional reform in Hesse .

Until 1806 the eastern part belonged for centuries to the territory of the Riedesel rule under the barons Riedesel zu Eisenbach, the western part to the Isenburg-Birstein county . The eastern part came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806 , the western part to the Rheinbund -State Isenburg in 1806 and after its mediatization to Austria and in 1816 to the Electorate of Hesse , which was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 .

After 1945 the dual locality became part of the State of Hesse , but remained administratively divided by the assignment of the western part to the Gelnhausen district and the eastern part to the Lauterbach district .

Territorial reform and unification

On August 1, 1972, the previously independent municipalities became part of the greater municipality of Freiensteinau and the Vogelsbergkreis as part of the regional reform in Hesse by state law . While Radmühl I voluntarily merged with Freiensteinau, Radmühl II had to be incorporated into Freiensteinau against the will of the population by state law. Until 2006, the two halves of Radmühl formed two separate local districts of Freiensteinau with two separate local administrators , only then were the local districts merged.

aftermath

Colloquially, the eastern half of the village is still called Hessisch Radmühl today , the western Prussian Radmühl , although the period between 1866 and 1945 was rather a short section of local history compared to the Riedelisch / Isenburg time. The official name of the eastern part is Radmühl I , that of the western part is Radmühl II .

The years of separation can still be seen today. Both districts have separate water and electricity supplies with different basic suppliers and different street lighting. The place is also ecclesiastically divided: Radmühl I belongs to the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau and there to the parish of Freiensteinau, Radmühl II belongs to the Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck and there to the parish Birstein-Unterreichenbach. Radmühler are still buried in two separate cemeteries, depending on the former half of the country.

Legal history

In the Riedeselschen Radmühl the Riedesel'schen ordinances were considered as particular law . The Common Law applied only to the extent those regulations did not contain provisions. In theory, this special right retained its validity even when the place belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century, but only individual provisions were applied in judicial practice. The particular law was replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly valid throughout the German Empire .
