history

Emergence

In the course of the administrative reform of 1821 in the Grand Duchy, jurisdiction and administration were also separated at the lower level , and the tasks of the traditional offices were reorganized in district districts - responsible for administration - and district court districts - responsible for jurisdiction. The district of Dornberg emerged from:

Of these, 24 were “Old Hessen” ( Upper County of Katzenelnbogen ), two of which were formerly Electorate of Mainz and one place, Geinsheim , was in Isenburg .

The tasks of the jurisdiction of the first instance from the dissolved offices, which were now united in the district of Dornberg, were transferred to the newly established district court Großgerau .

Further course

In Geinsheim, at the time when the Dornberg District District was established in 1821 , the patrimonial sovereignty of the Prince of Isenburg still existed, which also included some of the tasks that the District District was supposed to perform. These were initially exercised by the state officials for the Princely House, but then ceded to the state in 1826, with effect from January 1, 1827.

The End

In the regional reform of 1832, the district councils were dissolved and merged into larger districts . Shortly afterwards, their layout was defined in a further regulation . The Dornberg District District merged with the Langen District District in the new Großgerau district .

The district makes up the largest part of the so-called reed . "

The natural condition as: “a) Surface and soil: This area is completely flat and forms a single large, unmistakable area. The soil is partly good and fertile and mixed with loam, but partly also sandy. This includes the so-called Haardt near Büttelborn and a stretch near Dornheim; The districts of Bauschheim, Worfelden and Rüsselsheim also have a lot of sand. The drifting sand in one part of the Nauheim area often causes the other part to be very badly spoiled. In several places along the old Neckar bed, the ground is often a bit swampy; other places are often very severely torn open by the heat of the sun. b) Waters: 1) the Rhine; 2) the Main; 3) the Landbach ; 4) the Schwarzbach ; 5) the Modaubach ; 6) the Sandbach .
