Kehna is a district of the municipality Weimar (Lahn) in the central Hessian district of Marburg-Biedenkopf . The village, through which the Lohrbach and Walgerbach flows, currently has around 60 inhabitants and is therefore one of the smallest districts of the municipality.

history

The first documentary mention of Kehna was around 1140 in old fiefdoms. On 21/22 In July 1990 Kehna celebrated its 850th anniversary.

One possible explanation of the place name is the tracing back to ahd. Kien = "Kien, Asche, Fackel" and ahd. Aha = "Bach", literally "Kienbach". Thus, the place name plausibly belongs to the group of comparable name types founded in the early Middle Ages such as Moorbach / Marbach, Schwarzbach etc. The name corresponds to the location, because Kehna lies on black ground, in a valley between the heavily muddy small bodies of water Lohrbach and Walgerbach.

On July 1, 1974, as part of the regional reform in Hesse , Kehna was attached to the large community of Weimar (Lahn) by virtue of state law . For Kehna, as for the other districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was set up.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Kehna was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1821

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 administration was taken over by the districts. In Marburg, the Marburg district was set up for the administration and the Marburg district court was the court of first instance responsible for Kehna. In 1850 the regional court was renamed the Marburg Justice Office. The Supreme Court was the Higher Appeal Court in Kassel . The higher court of Marburg was subordinate to the province of Upper Hesse. It was the second instance for the judicial offices.

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia, the Marburg district court became the royal Prussian district court of Marburg in 1867 . In June 1867, a royal ordinance was issued that reorganized the court system in the areas that belonged to the former Electorate of Hesse. The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance. In the course of this, on September 1, 1867, the previous judicial office was renamed the Marburg District Court. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal .

With the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act of 1879, the district court continued to exist under his name. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Marburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
