history

Fulda

The Centamt Fulda spatially corresponded to the original monastery district or the Cent Fulda. Within this area parts gained judicial and administrative independence in the course of time. The city of Fulda itself formed the Vizedomamt Fulda (for the further subdivision, see there), the Amt Giesel became independent (see below) and individual places were subordinated to the cathedral capitular audience , the provost office Andreasberg , provost office Johannesberg and provost office Michelsberg . A number of knightly bailiffs that had developed in the Centfuld were repurchased by the monastery and ceased to exist in the 18th century.

In the 18th century the office was called Oberamt. Formally, a noble bailiff was at its head. However, this office was sinecure at the end of the HRR . In fact, the chief official was actually the bailiff. The Centoberamt Fulda and the Vizedomamt Fulda were linked in personal union in the 18th century.

The office at the end of the HRR comprised Bachrain , Bernhards , Besges , Bronnzell , Dietershausen , Dipperz , Dirlos , Dörmbach , Edelzell , Eichenzell , Finkenhain (Mordgraben), Friesenhausen , Giesel , Gläserzell , Haimbach , Horas , Istergiesel , Kämmerzell , Kerzell , Keulos , Kohlhaus , Künzell , Lehnerz (partially), Lassenrod , Lüdermünd , Maberzell , Margretenhaun (half), Melzdorf , Mittelrode , Niederrode , Niesig , Oberrode , Reinhards , Rex , Rodges , Rönshausen , Rothemann , Sickels , Steinau , Steinhaus , Welkers , Wissels , Wisselsrod and brick .

Office Giesel

Giesel formed its own administrative district in the center of Fulda until 1687 and also had high jurisdiction from 1439 until the end of the HRR . In 1340 Abbot Heinrich von Hohenberg had a castle built in Giesel, which became the center of the office. Among the multitude of pledges of the office, the one from 1439 stands out, since at that time the prince abbot ordered the high judicial detachment from the Fulda district. Until the end of the HRR, Giesel therefore had its own complaint or Walpurgis court. The office consisted only of the village of Giesel and the current desert area of Silings . In 1687 it was administratively subordinated to the Centfuld.

Principality of Nassau-Orange-Fulda

The Principality of Nassau-Oranien-Fulda was created on the basis of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803. With regard to jurisdiction and administration, the rulers' ordinance of January 8, 1803 reorganized the existing offices. The Centoberamt Fulda lost the centfuldic part of Margretenhaun and was expanded to include the villages of capitular or propteilich jurisdiction in the area of ​​the Centoberamt Fulda. Since the Centoberamt Fulda had become too big with the additional locations, it was divided. The river Fulda formed the border to the newly formed Centoberamt Johannesberg . The Centoberamt Fulda now bore the designation of an office of the first class.

Grand Duchy of Frankfurt

In 1806 the Principality of Nassau-Orange-Fulda was occupied by the French and in 1810 it became part of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt . During the French era , the office belonged to the Fulda department as a district fairy of Fulda-Land , nothing changed in terms of structure (see court organization in the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt ). In particular, the separation of the judiciary from the administration was not introduced.

Kurhessen

According to the final act of the Congress of Vienna on July 9, 1815, the office was transferred to the Kingdom of Prussia . This transferred the office on October 16, 1815 to the Electorate of Hesse . The Centoberamt Fulda was combined with the Centoberamt Johannesberg and half of the Office Bieberstein to form the Landamt Fulda . At the same time there were some places to the Neuhof office . It now consisted of Allmus, Almendorf, Armenhof, Bachrain, Bernhards, Besges, Bieberstein, Böckels, Bronnzell, Dassen, Dietershan, Dietershausen, Dipperz, Dirlos, Dörmbach, Edelzell, Egelmes, Eichenzell, Elters, Engelhelms, Finkenhain, Florenberg, Friesenhausen, Giesel, Gläserzell, Gruben, Haimbach, Harmerz, Hattenroth, Hofbieber, Horas, Istergiesel, Johannesberg, Kämmerzell, Keulos, Kohlgrund, Kohlhaus, Külos, Künzell, Langenbieber, Lehnerz, Lüdermünd, Maberzell, Margrethenhaun, Neuenberg, Melzdorf, Mitter Niederbieber, Niederrode, Niesig, Oberrode, Petersberg, Pilgerzell, Reinhards, Rex, Rodges, Rönshausen, Sickels, Steens, Steinau, Steinhaus, Stöckels, Tiefengruben, Traisbach, Weihershof, Welkers, Wiesen, Wissels, Wesselsrod, Wolferts, Zell and Zirkenbach.

The size of the Landamt Fulda was seen as a defect. By announcement of September 28, 1818 the office was divided. A separate Bieberstein office was created . This office included: Allmus, Almendorf, Böckels, Dietershausen, Dipperz, Dirlos, Dörmbach, Egelmes, Elters, Friesenhausen, Gruben, Hofbieber, Keulos, Kohlgrund, Jülos, Langenbieber, Magretenhaun, Melzdorf, Niederbieber, Rex, Steens, Steinau, Steinhaus, Traisbach, Weihershof, Wiesen, Wissels, Wisselsrod, Wolferts.
