Oberland (Birstein)

Oberland was a short-lived municipality in the area of today's municipality of Birstein in the Main-Kinzig district in Hesse .

history

In connection with the regional reform in Hesse , the previously independent municipalities of Lichenroth , Mauswinkel , Völzberg , Wettges and Wüstwillenroth voluntarily merged to form the municipality of Oberland on July 1, 1971. All five districts had a total of 1230 inhabitants. The seat of the mayor was Wüstwillenroth.

As early as May 1972, the Hessian state government initiated a hearing process with the aim of merging the previous communities of Birstein (with districts), Katholisch-Willenroth and Oberland to form a new large community. The background was the insufficient administrative and financial strength of the municipality of Oberland from the point of view of the state. The incorporation of the municipality of Oberland into the municipality of Birstein took place in accordance with state law with effect from July 1, 1974. On July 1, 1972, Katholisch-Willenroth was reorganized into the district of Schlüchtern and incorporated into the city of Salmünster .

The name of the municipality, which existed for only three years, has "survived" to this day in the colloquial language and in the names of various local businesses and associations.
