City structure

In addition to the core city of Lollar, Lollar also includes the three districts of Odenhausen , Ruttershausen and Salzboden , as well as Hofgut and Schloss Friedelhausen .

history

Lollar was first mentioned in a document in 1242, but it goes back to a pre-Franconian settlement . The present city had a court between 1570 and 1821. It received city ​​rights on September 4, 1974.

First mentions of the districts

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Lollar in 1830:

“Lollar (L. Bez. Giessen) evangel Filialdorf; is on the Chaussee from Giessen to Marburg, as between the Lahn and the Lumda, and 1 1 ⁄ 2  St. from Giessen. The place has 115 houses and 759 inhabitants, who are Protestant apart from 45 Jews. Here is a main customs office and the main customs office building with economy buildings. Several cattle markets are held annually, which are the most important in the area after the foundries. - The court Lollar was Nassauisch, by exchange, Hessen, 1396, received a share in the same, and with the division made in 1585 the place came exclusively to Hessen. "

Surname

The final syllable of the place name "-lar" refers to a settlement of Celtic or even pre-Celtic (old European) origin (compare also Mainzlar , Wetzlar , Dorlar , Aßlar , Fritzlar ). The name was drawn from "Lom-lar", "Lom (da)" is the old name of the Lumda river flowing through Lollar .

In documents that have survived, Lollar was mentioned under the following names (the year it was mentioned in brackets):

  • Lollar, de (1242) [Document book of the Arnsburg monastery 3, no. 32]
  • Lollayr, in (1277) [Wyss, document book of the Deutschordens-Ballei 1, no. 334]
  • Lollor, in (1288) [Wyss, document book of the Deutschordens-Ballei 1, no. 495]
  • Lullar, de (1315) [Document book of the city of Wetzlar 1, no. 876]
  • Loller, zcu (1495) [State Archives Darmstadt A 3 No. 227/4]

Incorporations

As part of the regional reform in Hesse on December 31, 1971, the communities of Odenhausen, Ruttershausen and Salzböden were incorporated into the community of Lollar on a voluntary basis. On July 1, 1974, a sub-area of ​​the city of Staufenberg was added, then with just under 100 inhabitants.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Lollar was located or the administrative units to which it was subject:

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or registry lords and thus the "Landamt Gießen" was responsible for Lollar. 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 establishment 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 and city courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. From 1821 to 1879, “ Landgericht Gießen ” was the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Lollar.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the previous regional and city courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were repealed and replaced by local courts in the same place, as was the case with the higher courts, whose function was now taken over by the newly established regional courts. The districts of the city and regional court of Gießen were merged and now, together with the towns of Allertshausen and Climbach , which previously belonged to the district court of Grünberg, formed the district of the newly created district court of Gießen, which has since been part of the district of the newly established regional court of Gießen . Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances of the District Court of Gießen, the Regional Court of Gießen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice are the last instance.
