history

Human activities have been going on near Münchhausen on the Christenberg , a hill about two kilometers east of Münchhausen, since the Neolithic Age . Barrows were found in the western area of ​​the Christenberg plateau , which could be the burial ground of a settlement on the Christenberg. In addition, there was a former Celtic or Frankish fortress on the Christenberg plateau . Today's Münchhausen was first mentioned in a document owned by the Würzburg State Archives in 1213. The name Münchhausen, which contains the place name Hausen , is typical for the establishment of settlements in the course of the Frankish conquest , which took place in the late 5th to 7th centuries. Like Munich , Münch goes back to the dative plural of the Old High German munih or Middle High German mün (e) ch, the forerunner of the word monk.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1974 within the framework of were municipal reform in Hesse , the hitherto independent communities of Munchausen Niederasphe, Simtshausen and Wollmar and the district Oberasphe the neighboring town of Battenberg (Eder) in Waldeck-Frankenberg powerful state law the new municipality Munchausen together .

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Münchhausen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1821

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen. Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisdiction, the administration was taken over by the districts. The Marburg district was responsible for the administration and the Wetter Judicial Office was the court of first instance for Münchhausen. The Supreme Court was the Higher Appeal Court in Kassel . The higher court of Marburg was subordinate to the province of Upper Hesse. It was the second instance for the judicial offices.

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia, the judicial office of Wetter became the royal Prussian district court of Wetter in 1867. In June 1867, a royal ordinance was issued that reorganized the court system in the areas that belonged to the former Electorate of Hesse. The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance. In the course of this, on September 1, 1867, the previous judicial office was renamed the Wetter District Court. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal .

Even with the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act (GVG) in 1877, the district court remained in existence. In 1943 the district court became a branch of the district court of Marburg and in 1946 the branch was also closed. The district of the district court of Wetter merged with the district of the district court of Marburg.

In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Marburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
