history

The earliest surviving documentary evidence proves the existence of the place Ilspach since 1369, when it was mentioned in the interest book of the Palatinate Oberamt Heidelberg . There it is described that the Count Palatine is entitled to the Gülte and that the districts of Lindenfels have jurisdiction over the place from the Electoral Palatinate to fief. The high level of jurisdiction over “theft, screams of murder, throwing stones, robbers and heresy” lay with the Heppenheim district . Further documents show that the districts of Lindenfels had the place wholly or partially under fief . In the late Middle Ages, only three Hubengüter are documented; a court rider was added in the 19th century . In 1443 Count Palatine Ludwig enfeoffed Count Philipp von Erbach with his part in Igelsbach: "Village, Bailiwick, Court and Accessories". In 1563 the Count of Erbach Igelsbach ceded the Ulner von Dieburg in exchange for rights in Reichenbach . At the end of the Old Kingdom , the village was owned by the von Belderbusch family .

In Igelsbach, the Palatinate Land Law from 1582, renewed in 1610, was a particular law . In addition, the common law applied , insofar as the Palatinate Land Law did not contain special regulations for a matter. This special rights retained its validity and throughout the 19th century during the affiliation of the area to the Grand Duchy of Hesse and was only on January 1, 1900 by the same across the whole German Reich current Civil Code replaced.

The knightly hamlet was one of the mediatized areas that were added to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt in 1806 as a result of the Rhine Confederation Act . The superordinate administrative authority was the "Principality of Starkenburg", which from 1816 was designated as the Province of Starkenburg . The “Hofgericht Darmstadt” was set up as a court of second instance for the Principality of Starkenburg. The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords . 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 this the " Zent Heppenheim " and the associated central courts had finally lost their function. The Ulnersche Patrimonialgericht Igelsbach was responsible for Igelsbach in the first instance.

In 1817 the Countess von Belderbusch, born Freiin von "Ulner zu Dieburg", ceded patrimonial jurisdiction and the associated sovereign rights to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. The place was then subordinated to the Heppenheim Office .

On December 17, 1820, with the introduction of the " Constitution of the Grand Duchy of Hesse ", the Grand Duchy became a constitutional monarchy , in which the Grand Duke still had great powers. The remaining civil rights magnificent as Low jurisdiction , tithes, ground rents and other slope but remained composed until 1848.

In 1821, as part of a comprehensive administrative reform, the district bailiffs in the provinces of Starkenburg and Upper Hesse of the Grand Duchy were dissolved and districts were introduced, with Igelsbach joining the Lindenfels district . As part of this reform, regional courts were also created, which were now independent of the administration. The district court districts corresponded in scope to the district council districts and the district court of Fürth was responsible as the court of first instance for the district of Lindenfels . This reform also arranged the administrative administration at the municipal level. In addition to Mittershausen , the mayor's office in Mittershausen was also responsible for Breitenwiesen , Igelsbach, Knoden , Mitlechtern , Schannenbach and Scheuerberg . According to the municipal ordinance of June 30, 1821, there were no longer appointments of mayors , but an elected local council, which was composed of a mayor, aldermen and council.

The "Statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse" reports on Igelsbach in 1829:

»Igelsbach (L. Bez. Lindenfels), Weiler is 1 St. from Lindenfels and has 4 houses and 28 inhabitants, except for 4 Reform. are catholic. Belonged to the Palatinate County, and the districts of Lindenfels owned the court there in 1369. The place came to Hessen in 1802. The patrimonial jurisdiction over Igelsbach, which belonged to the former knight canton of Odenwald, was established in 1817 by the wife of Belderbusch, b. Freiin von Ullner zu Dieburg, ceded to the state. "

In 1832 the administrative units were enlarged again and circles were created. After the reorganization announced on August 20, 1832, there should only be the districts of Bensheim and Lindenfels in the future in Süd-Starkenburg; the district of Heppenheim should fall into the district of Lindenfels. Even before the ordinance came into force on October 15, 1832, it was revised to the effect that instead of the Lindenfels district, the Heppenheim district was formed as the second district to which Mittershausen now belonged and Igelsbach belonged with it.

The following entry can be found in the latest and most thorough alphabetical lexicon of all localities in the German federal states from 1845–48:

»Igelsbach near Lindenfels. - Catholic Filialkirchdorf of the mother church in Heppenheim. - 4 H. 28 E. (Incl. 4 Reform.). - Grand Duchy of Hesse. - Prov. Starkenburg. - Heppenheim district. - Fürth district court. - Darmstadt Court of Justice. - The village of Igelsbach, formerly part of the Palatinate County, was given to Hesse in 1802. "

As a result of the March Revolution of 1848, with the "Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords" of April 15, 1848, the special rights of the class were finally repealed. In addition, in the provinces, the districts and the district administration districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished on July 31, 1848 and replaced by "administrative districts", whereby the previous districts of Bensheim and Heppenheim were combined to form the administrative district of Heppenheim . Just four years later, in the course of the reaction era, they returned to the division into districts and Mittershausen and Igelsbach became part of the newly created Lindenfels district .

The population and cadastral lists recorded in December 1852 showed for Igelsbach :: Catholic filial village with 38 inhabitants. The district consists of 397 acres , including 210 acres of arable land, 57 acres of meadows and 124 acres of forest.

In the statistics of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, based on December 1867, the following are given for the Igelsbach branch village: the mayor's office in Mittershausen, the Igelsbach district, 4 houses, 40 residents, the Lindenfels district, the Fürth district court, the Protestant Reformed parish Schlierbach of the Lindenfels dean's office and the Catholic parish of Lindenfels of the Heppenheim deanery.

After the Grand Duchy of Hesse had been part of the German Empire from 1871 , a series of administrative reforms were decided in 1874. The state-specific rules of procedure as well as the administration of the districts and provinces were regulated by district and provincial assemblies. The new regulation came into force on July 12, 1874 and also decreed the dissolution of the Lindenfels and Wimpfen districts and the incorporation of Mittershausen with Igelsbach into the Heppenheim district .

On July 1, 1906, at the instigation of the residents, Mitterhausen and Scheuerberg had their own mayor's office and members of the Igelsbach family were given a mayor's office. This classification then lasted until the end of the Second World War .

On November 1, 1938, a drastic regional reform was carried out in the three provinces of Starkenburg, Rheinhessen and Upper Hesse. In Starkenburg, the Bensheim district was particularly hard hit, as it was dissolved and most of it was added to the Heppenheim district. The district of Heppenheim also took over the legal successor to the district of Bensheim and was given the new name Landkreis Bergstrasse .

The Grand Duchy of Hesse was a member state of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866 and then a federal state of the German Empire . It existed until 1919, after the First World War, the Grand Duchy for was republican written People's State of Hesse . In 1945 after the end of the Second World War , the area of ​​today's Hesse was in the American zone of occupation and by order of the military government, Greater Hesse was created , from which the state of Hesse emerged in its current borders.

In 1961 the size of the district was given as 194  ha , of which 50 ha were forest.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Igelsbach voluntarily joined the community of Kirschhausen on December 1, 1970. This was on 1 February 1972 Igelsbach in the town of Heppenheim incorporated . For Kirschhausen, a local district with a local advisory board and mayor was formed, which also includes Igelsbach.
