history

First mention and historical forms of the name

Obbornhofen was first mentioned in the Lorsch Codex as "Oberenhouen" in 766/767 , and thereafter in numerous other donations to the Lorsch Monastery .

Later historical forms of the name were (each with the year of mention):

  • 1141: in Obernhoben
  • 1269: de Oberhoven
  • 1342: from Obirnhabin
  • 1367: from Abernhofen

Power relations in the Middle Ages

On July 10th, 1238, half of Obbornhofen was awarded as a münzenberg fiefdom to the knight Winter von Kalsmunt by Ulrich I. von Münzenberg .

After the male line of Munzenberg died out in 1255, Isengard von Munzenberg and her husband Philipp von Bolanden inherited part of the Munzenberg estate. In 1271 Philip's sons shared the rule of Munzenberg. 1271 Werner von Falkenstein received a. a. the Obbornhofen court.

On April 20, 1304, in an arbitration ruling between Ulrich von Hanau and the Falkensteiners, it was determined that Hanau would be awarded a sixth of “the entire Gerlohe estate from Berstat zu Obernhoven, for the lords of Valkenstein to take part” in the event that this estate becomes unsound from the Munzenberg rule.

Territorial reform

Protestant church

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on January 1, 1977, by virtue of state law, the previously independent municipality of Obbornhofen was incorporated into the small town of Hungen. For Obbornhofen, as for all parts of the town, a local district with a local advisory board and mayor was set up.

Church history

Obbornhofen has had an independent parish since 1333. In 1462 and until 1593 the von Nordeck zur Rabenau had the church set as a Solms-Licher fief. Solms-Lich had the church set from the Munzenberg inheritance.

Blasius Lundorp is the first known Protestant pastor in Obbornhofen. His term of office lasted from 1558 to 1568. He was followed by Martin Walter from Bauernheim for 56 years . This was also ready to carry out the denominational change from the teaching of Luther to the Reformed under Count Conrad von Solms-Braunfels .

Today's Protestant parish is connected to the Protestant parish of Bellersheim through the parish.

The square choir of the Obbornhofen church dates from the 13th century. The new, baroque-style nave was added in 1741 and 1742.

Jewish community

Jews lived in Obbornhofen since the beginning of the 17th century. Together with the Jews in Bellersheim and Wohnbach , they formed a community. There was a synagogue in Obbornhofen that has been preserved as a residential building today. The Jewish cemetery on Eichelberg was the burial place for Obbornhofen and Wohnbach Jews.

Almost all Jews in the three towns were deported and murdered after 1938.

Territorial history and administration

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

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus from 1806 the “Patrimonial Court of the Princes Solms-Braunfels” in Wölfersheim was responsible for Obbornhofen. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. From 1822, the princes of Solms-Braunfels let the Grand Duchy of Hesse exercise their court rights on their behalf. " Landgericht Hungen " was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Obbornhofen. The prince also waived his right to the second instance, which was exercised by the law firm in Hungen. It was only as a result of the March Revolution in 1848 that the special rights of the civil servants became final with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848 canceled.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Hungen Local Court" and allocation to the district of the regional court of Giessen .

On June 1, 1934, the Hungen District Court was dissolved and Obbornhofen was assigned to the district of the Nidda District Court . On January 1, 2012, the district court of Nidda was also dissolved in accordance with the resolution of the Hessian state parliament and Obbornhofen went to the district court of Gießen . The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.

Buildings

  • In 1967 a local history museum was opened in an old farmhouse. In 1992 the old half-timbered town hall was added. This is the oldest half-timbered town hall in the district of Giessen.
  • There is also an artesian well in the village that continuously produces crystal clear water. It has a capacity of around 450,000 cubic meters per year, but has not been used as drinking water for many years due to the excessive nitrate content. In order to use the water for other purposes, a small group of Obbornhofen citizens tried to turn a decrepit and almost forgotten corner of the village into an attractive place with water features.
  • Jewish cemetery on Eichelberg (outside of town)
  • Komthurhof at the southern end of the village, towards Wohnbach with a classicist house and farm building.
  • The half-timbered town hall , built around 1500, is the oldest town hall in the Gießen district.
