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 Gladenbach arose from:

The tasks that the offices had performed in the area of first instance jurisdiction were transferred to the Gladenbach Regional Court .

Further development

In 1823, patrimonial jurisdiction in Grund Breidenbach and Elmshausen was ceded to the state.

The End

In a regional reform in 1832, the district councils were dissolved and merged into larger districts . Shortly afterwards, their layout was determined by another ordinance , whereby the districts of Gladenbach, Battenberg and Vöhl were combined to form the Biedenkopf district .

Seat

The seat of the district administrator was the stately grand ducal office (Marktstrasse 9). The three-story half-timbered building from 1757 had previously been the seat of the Blankenstein office.
