District of Kirtorf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district of Kirtorf was a district in the province of Upper Hesse of the Grand Duchy of Hesse . It existed from 1821 to 1832.

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 courts (responsible for jurisdiction). The district of Kirtorf emerged from:

The tasks of the judiciary of the first instance , which had carried out the now dissolved offices, were transferred to the newly founded district court Homberg an der Ohm .

Further development

In 1822 the barons of Schenck zu Schweinsberg waived their involvement in administrative matters in the outer court, so that the state district administrator could now act alone in these matters. They also waived their rights in their previous patrimonial court, Rülfenrod.

In the course of time, corrections were made in the local jurisdiction of the district: Leusel (1821) and Zell (on January 1, 1823) moved to the district of Romrod . At least the latter happened under pressure from those affected, who were not satisfied with the original allocation and had made a corresponding “request” to the government. The municipality of Ermenrod came to the district of Grünberg in 1831 .

resolution

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 district of Kirtorf was merged with the district of Alsfeld to form the district of Alsfeld .

Historical description

The "Statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse" reported in 1829 about the district of Kirtorf:

The location is described as: “The district lies between 50 ° 39 'and 50 ° 51' north latitude and between 26 ° 34 and 26 ° 54 east longitude. The boundaries to the north are the Electorate of Hesse, to the east the district of Romrod, to the south the district of Grünberg, to the west the Electorate of Hesse, the districts of Kirtorf and Alsfeld include several Churhessian places. "

The natural condition as: “a) Surface and soil: The heights that accompany the Feldaer Thal, and start from the Oberwald, traverse the district from southeast to northwest, to Homberg, where they drop off fairly broadly towards the great plain. The Holzberg near Homberg is located in 1486 Hess. Foot (0.25 m) , Homberg itself 1266 Hess. Foot and the Gethürms 1408 Hess. Feet above the surface of the sea. In one part of the district there is a moist, and therefore cold-ground, clay soil, which can often only be worked with great effort, especially in the western part. The bottom of the remaining part is more mixed with sand, and Lehrbach in particular has a lot of sand; however, the soil is generally productive. b) Waters: 1) the Ohm; 2) the Felda; 3) the address; 4) the Kleinbach. "

The population as: “This is 13,639 souls; among them are 13,186 Evangelicals, 25 Catholics, 46 Mennonites and 382 Jews, who together inhabit 2 cities, 1 market town, 30 villages, and a total of 2,212 houses. "

The natural products as: “423 horses; 95 foals; 54 bulls; 1158 ox; 3679 cows; 1480 cattle; 3701 pigs; 16,348 sheep; 604 goats; 87 donkey. Grain, barley, wheat, oats, potatoes, legumes, fodder herbs, flax. In some places there used to be some mining. At Homberg there are clay-like iron stones, as well as signs of mercury. Basalts have in particular the districts of Appenrod, Dannerod, Ermenrod, Maulbach, Homberg, Kirtorf, Wahlen, and sandstones can be found at Dannerod, Lehrbach, Niederofleiden, Oberofleiden, Homberg, Wahlen, Obergleen, of which the Lehrbachers are particularly useful for millstones, such as all sandstones of white color. "

The Industry and Trade as "crops, livestock, crafts. Spinning and linen weaving is not insignificant, especially in Angerod, Billertshausen, Ehringshausen, ceilingbach, Ermenrod, Oberleen and Oberofleiden, and several of these places produce large quantities of linen wall. Homberg has several tanners and wool weavers. Niedergemünden conducts a strong trade with sheep, which the inhabitants in Hanovrischen buy up and then sell in the surrounding area. The district has around 40 mills, which are grinding and oil mills. The road from Giessen to Alsfeld only touches the only district of Ermenrode. "
