history

Niederweimar was first mentioned in a document in 1138.

A first expansion of the village began after the construction of the Main-Weser Railway and the establishment of a stop on this railway line. After the Second World War , new development areas were developed in various phases on the slope of the vineyard (southern end of the Marburg Ridge).

Territorial reform

In the course of administrative reform in Hesse Niederweimar was with Allna and Oberweimar one of the three places on February 1, 1971, which consists of twelve districts today greater community Weimar (Lahn) voluntarily founded . Since then, Niederweimar has also been the seat of the municipal administration, which is initially housed in the old school and since 1999 in a new building. For Niederweimar, as for the other districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was established.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Niederweimar 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 district of Marburg was set up for the administration and the Marburg district court was the court of first instance responsible for Niederweimar. In 1850 the Marburg 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 Justice Office 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 The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance.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 Justice Office was renamed the District Court of Marburg. 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.
