history

The oldest surviving mention of the village dates from 1222, when the name Hörgern was first mentioned in a deed of donation for the Arnsburg monastery . A distinction has been made between upper and lower hearing people since 1271. Nieder-Hörgern fell in desolation around 1400 .

The Evangelical Reformed Church was built in 1729 instead of a previous medieval building. Only the gothic flank tower was retained. He received a new helmet structure in 1778.

In the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Ober-Hörgern was incorporated into the town of Munzenberg in the Friedberg district before the end of 1971 .

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Ober-Hörgern 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-Hohensolms-Lich" in Nieder-Weisel was responsible for Ober-Hörgern. 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-Hohensolms-Lich let the Grand Duchy of Hesse exercise their court rights on their behalf. “ District Court Lich ” was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Ober-Hörgern. 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 "Lich Local Court" and allocation to the district of the regional court of Giessen . At the same time, Ober-Hörgern moved to the district of what is now the Butzbach District Court . In 2004 the Butzbach District Court was dissolved and integrated into the Friedberg District Court . Now the superordinate instances are the regional court of Giessen , the higher regional court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
