Nastätter recesses

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nastätter Rezesse were two contracts or settlements that were signed in the Taunusort Nastätten , through which the dissolution of the condominium district court of the four gentlemen on the facility was regulated and new boundaries were created.

prehistory

The condominium "Landgericht der vier Herren auf dem Einrich" (called the "Vierherrische") had already been divided into three quarters in 1647 for better administration. Each power involved was given control of a quarter, but the quadrilateral still existed formally. There was the nassau-saarbrück quarter, the nassau-diezian quarter and the hessian quarter under the rule of Hessen-Kassel . Because of this division, the three rulers of the quadrilateral no longer had to agree on all decisions, but were able to rule their quarters alone. The division of quarters in 1647 was the beginning of the downfall of the quadrilateral, which officially only came through the Nastatt recession in 1774/75.

First Nastätter Review (June 27, 1774)

The first Nastätter review was decided by representatives of the three rulers of the quadrilateral in Nastätten . The previous three quarters of the Vierherrischen were dissolved and the three powers Hessen-Kassel (50% share in the Vierherrischen), Nassau-Diez (25%) and Nassau-Usingen (25%) as successors to Nassau-Saarbrücken discussed who would get which village should, it was divided into Hessian and Nassau villages. The exact course of the border between Hesse and Nassau was regulated in the second recess.

After the allocation of the localities, these were incorporated into the surrounding offices or territories. B. in the Niedergrafschaft Katzenelnbogen , on the Nassau side mostly in a nearby office . Since the villages were only divided between Hesse and Nassau , the villages allocated to Nassau were under the common rule of Nassau-Diez and Nassau-Usingen . These two divided the localities into the so-called triple rule , so the villages were assigned to an office that was co-governed by a third Nassau state alongside the other two (this is a condominium , like the quadrilateral itself ). Such an office was z. B. the Nassau office . The exact breakdown was as follows:

After clarifying the affiliation of the individual localities, the exact boundary line had to be determined. A second recess was made for this purpose.

Second Nastätter Review (December 9, 1775)

The second Nastätter recession established the exact boundary between the now Nassau and Hessian part of the former quadrilateral . The following excerpt, which records the border at Marienfels , shows that this was pretty accurate :

"... right hand to Geyers heckenfeld over the road going from Hunzel to Miehlen over the field to the Seyersgraben, left hand down the Seyer, where the Hunzelner district ends and the Marienfelser begins. Left hand the right down, right hand down the Seyer river, between the Miehlener feld and the Marienfelser wießen, the Seyerswießen straight down, over the Marienfelser mühlenteich through the bruchwieße, over the Mühlbach through the Miehlener wießen and the Miehler weg on the Weyerbach, digging up into the Weyerbacher the Faulberger söder, bit into the Füllscheuer, straight on across the field to the Ehrer graben, to over the Ehrer Strasse, the fluthgraben after bit into the Bogeler söder ... "

After the frontier was officially decided by the delegates of the rulers of Nassau and Hesse-Kassel on December 9, 1775 in the Second Recess, the tetradromancy ceased to exist completely.

consequences

With the conclusion of the second recession, the final end of the quadromancy was sealed. This step was foreseeable after the quarter allocation in 1647, because the area should remain governable. The logical conclusion from this was a division of the condominium into domains and finally its dissolution. The distribution of the tetrarchal territory and the new borders were soon to become superfluous due to the French Revolution and Napoleon's wars at the beginning of the 19th century, as these led to a total change in the previous territorial order.

Subsequent rulers

The Nassau area became part of the newly formed Duchy of Nassau in 1803 , the area added to Hesse-Kassel , which had been incorporated into the Lower County of Katzenelnbogen , became part of the " Pays résevé de Catzenellenbogen " occupied by Napoleonic troops in 1806 and came after the Congress of Vienna on the Duchy of Nassau after it was Prussian from October 16, 1815 to October 17, 1816 and before that (after the withdrawal of Napoleon's troops) it was Hessian for two years. The Duchy of Nassau fell to Prussia after the German War in 1866 and was part of the new German Empire from 1871 .
