Michelbach is a district of the university town of Marburg in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district in Central Hesse . It is about 5.5 km (as the crow flies ) northwest of the city center and has a little over 2000 inhabitants.

history

Michelbach was first mentioned in a document in 802/817 as Michelbergere marca .

On October 18, 2011, Michelbach gained nationwide attention when a masked special police force stormed the house of two residents who had been Russian spies for more than 20 years.

From June 14th to 18th, 2017, Michelbach celebrated the 1200th anniversary of the village with a festival “week”. On April 30 and August 26, 2017, two border crossings took place on this occasion .

Territorial reform

On December 31, 1971, the previously independent place was incorporated into the municipality of Marbach as part of the regional reform in Hesse . This came to Marburg on July 1, 1974. Mainly thanks to the expansion of the settlement area to the east and later to the northeast and south, the population of the place has increased sharply since the 1960s. With the new development area Michelbach-Nord, a completely new district was created in 2004. The fourth construction phase is currently being built on in the new development area and thus represents the focus of the university town for the western parts of the city, because Marburg's largest industrial area is located on Görzhäuser Hof.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Michelbach 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. In Marburg, the Marburg district was set up for administration and the Marburg district court was the first-instance court with jurisdiction for Michelbach. In 1850 the regional court was renamed the Marburg Justice Office. 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 Marburg district court became the royal Prussian district court of Marburg 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 Marburg District Court. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal .

With the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act of 1879, the district court continued to exist under his name. 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.
