District court of Fronhausen

The District Court of Fronhausen was a district court based in Fronhausen in today's Hessian district of Marburg-Biedenkopf .

history

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen . Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of the Fronhausen Justice Office was made up of the areas of the former Fromhausen and Treis offices and the Nordeck court. An assistant office was set up in Treis, which was spun off in 1833 as the independent Treis Justice Office. These included Treis an der Lumda and the places and courts of Nordeck ( Nordeck , Wermertshausen and Winnen ).

After the German War , Kurhessen was annexed by Prussia . The judicial office was abolished in 1867 and continued as the District Court of Fronhausen.

With effect from October 1, 1902, Rodenhausen , Seelbach , Rollshausen and Lohra were separated from the district of the District Court of Fronhausen and added to the District Court of Gladenbach .

In 1943 the district court of Fronhausen was closed due to the war and not reopened after the war. It was initially run as a branch of the Marburg District Court and finally dissolved in 1948. The judicial district was added to the Marburg District Court.

Instance move

The district court of Marburg was superordinate to the court as the second instance court (which was initially named as the electoral higher court from 1821 and as the Prussian district court from 1867).

The courthouse

Old district court

New district court

Between 1821 and 1907 the court used the premises of today's building at Bahnhofstrasse 6 as a courthouse. After moving into the new building in 1907, the Prussian state furnished service apartments in this house for two officials of the court. Today the house is privately owned and is used for residential purposes.

At the turn of the century, the Ministry of Justice acquired a larger piece of land with today's address Marburger Straße 15 to build a new district court. The courthouse was built between 1905 and 1907. Part of the new house was an official apartment for the judge, a district court prison and a stable.

After the court closed, the house was rented for commercial and residential use until it was sold in 1981. From 1982 to 2012 the house was used as an educational and leisure center.
