geography

Kesselbach is located in the Lumda Valley at around 260 m above sea level. The Lumda flows through the place. In the area of ​​the village the Kesselbach flows into the Lumda. To the north of the village is the wooded ridge of the Kohlenberg (337 m above sea level to 340 m above sea level). Geologically, the subsoil here consists of basalts . To the south of the village, the area from Lumdatal slowly rises towards Allertshausen. Here there are predominantly agricultural areas.

In the northwest, the development of Kesselbach flows smoothly into that of Londorf. The other neighboring towns of Kesselbach start from Londorf in a clockwise direction: Rüddingshausen (municipality of Rabenau), Weitershain (town of Grünberg ), Odenhausen and Allertshausen (both municipality of Rabenau). All neighboring towns are in the district of Giessen.

history

According to popular tradition from the Roman period, the place name is derived from Kastell . Other sources assume that the name comes from the "Kesselbach". This flows through the place and flows into the Lumda.

Kesselbach was first mentioned in a document on December 8, 1291. At that time goods were sold to the Arnsburg monastery here .

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

"Kesselbach (L. Bez. Grünberg) evangel. Branch village; is on the Churhessian border, 2 1 ⁄ 4  St. from Grünberg, and belongs to the baron family von Nordeck zur Rabenau. The place has 65 houses and 400 inhabitants, who, apart from 24 Jews, are Protestant, and among them are 39 farmers, 11 craftsmen and 7 day laborers. Kesselbach also has 1 church, 1 schoolhouse, 1 paper and 1 grinding and oil mill. In 1822 the patrimonial jurisdiction ceded the police administration to the state. "

The history of Kesselbach is closely linked to that of Londorf.

The municipalities of Kesselbach and Londorf merged voluntarily on October 1, 1970 as part of the regional reform in Hesse to form the municipality of Rabenau. On December 31, 1971, the communities Allertshausen, Geilshausen, Odenhausen and Rüddingshausen were incorporated.

Historical forms of names

In documents that have been preserved, Kesselbach was mentioned under the following place names (the year it was mentioned in brackets):

  • Kesselbach, in (1291) [Eckhardt, Die Oberhessischen Klöster 3, 1, Nr. 203]
  • Kesselbach, zcu (15th century) [UB Gießen Hs. 556/60 fol. 43]

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Kesselbach 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 registry lords and thus the " Patrimonial Court of the Barons Nordeck zur Rabenau " in Kesselbach was responsible for Kesselbach. 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 and city courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. In 1822, the barons of Nordeck zur Rabenau ceded their rights at the Londorf court to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. " Landgericht Grünberg " was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Kesselbach from 1822 to 1879.

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 "Amtsgericht Grünberg" and assigned to the district of the regional court of Giessen . On July 1, 1968, the Grünberg District Court was dissolved, and Kesselbach was added to the Gießen District Court . Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. 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.
