District court Höchst in the Odenwald

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district court Höchst im Odenwald (up to 1879 regional court Höchst ) was a Hessian court of ordinary jurisdiction that existed from 1822 to 1968 (as a branch until 1977) with its seat in Höchst im Odenwald .

history

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. 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 the 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 the founding 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 courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. “Landgericht Höchst” was therefore the name for the first instance court in Höchst from 1821 to 1879. In the territorial territories of the Starkenburg province , there was still a judicial office in Michelstadt for court cases of the second instance, which was subordinate to the court. The German Courts Constitution Act of 1879 led to a uniform judicial organization throughout the empire . The “Hofgericht Darmstadt” has now become the “ Regional Court of Darmstadt ” as the superior second instance in the province, while the first instance courts have been renamed the District Court.

Due to the separation of justice and administration in the areas of Starkenburg , which formerly belonged to the County of Erbach-Schönberg and the Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim , as decreed by the Grand Ducal Hessian Ministry of the Interior and Justice in 1822, the Höchst Regional Court was formed, whose district was initially composed as follows was:

When in 1823 the barons of Wamboldt the patrimonial jurisdiction in Hetschbach ceded to the Grand Duchy, and this place was assigned to the district court district Peak. As a result of the reorganization of the judicial districts in the province of Starkenburg with effect from 1 June 1853, the places Kimbach, Langenbrombach to the district of had and Vielbrunn District Court Michel City and the towns Habitzheim, Lower and Upper blades to the district of the District Court Reinheim be submitted .

On October 1, 1879, due to the Courts Constitution Act, the name was changed to the Höchst District Court, the allocation to the district of the newly established Darmstadt District Court and the transfer of Frau-Nauses and Wiebelsbach to the now Groß-Umstadt District Court . With effect from July 1, 1904, the village of Affhöllerbach, including the hamlets of Stierbach and Kilsbach, was separated from the district court district of Höchst in the Odenwald and assigned to the newly established district court district of Reichelsheim in the Odenwald . Likewise the district court Reichelsheim i. The villages of Höllerbach and Wallbach were assigned on July 1, 1957.

On July 1, 1968, the district court of Höchst in the Odenwald was repealed and the municipality of Ober-Nauses was added to the district court of Dieburg . The remaining municipalities of the old district court district now formed the district of the Höchst branch in the Odenwald of the Michelstadt district court . This branch was closed on January 1, 1977.

The district court has been located in a two-storey stone building from the 16th century at Aschaffenburger Straße 2 since 1831. The handsome Renaissance building was originally built as a so-called center house, served as a restaurant from 1817 to 1831 and is now used as a police station.
