history

Niederwalgern was first mentioned in a document in 1235 under the name inferior Walgeren .

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Niederwalgern was attached to the large municipality of Weimar (Lahn) on July 1, 1974 by virtue of state law . For Niederwalgern, as for the other parts of the village, a local district with a local advisory board and mayor was set up.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Niederwalgern 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 Fronhausen Justice Office was the court of first instance for Niederwalgern. 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 Fronhausen Justice Office became the Royal Prussian District Court of Fronhausen 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 The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance.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 District Court of Fronhausen. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal .

The district court of Fronhausen was closed in 1943. It was initially run as a branch of the Marburg District Court and finally dissolved in 1948. The judicial district was added to the Marburg District Court. 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.
