Hopfgarten is a district of the Schwalmtal community in the Vogelsberg district in central Hesse .

history

The place is first mentioned in the year 812 as Warta in the market description of the church in Schlitz . The jurisdiction was exercised under the village linden. In 1323 the Hopfgarten court passed from the Altenburgers to the Lords of Romrod . In 1393 it was sold to the Landgraves of Hesse .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Hopfgarten in 1830:

"Hopfgarten (L. Bez. Alsfeld) evangel. Parish village; is 1 St. from Alsfeld, has 57 houses and 292 evangelists. Residents, as well as 2 farms and 1 mill. - The place was formerly called Hohenwarta and belonged to Romrod Castle. In 1358 Agnes von Westerburg, a Romrodian heir, sold her part of Castle Romrod, to which the court of Hopfgarten belonged, to the Landgraves Heinrich and Otto. In church terms, Hopfgarten belonged to Alsfeld. "

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , Hopfgarten, together with eight other previously independent localities, has formed the Schwalmtal community since December 31, 1971.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Hopfgarten 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 Hopfgarten by the Romrod 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 Hopfgarten.

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.

Culture and sights

In 1734 the chapel, which remained from the original monastery on the heights, was expanded to become today's church. The font there is one of the oldest in Germany.

The more than 900 year old gypsy oak that stands in front of the site is used by many painters as a motif for pen drawings and watercolors. The chest height is 5.90 m (2014).

A fire station is attached to the village community center , which arose from the former school building .
