After the Second World War , the place was expanded to the north, but further buildings were also built in and around the old town center.

Geographical location

Oberweidbach is located in the Gladenbacher Bergland and is a border village to the Marburg-Biedenkopf district and the city of Gladenbach . The next localities are Niederweidbach , Roßbach , Wilsbach , Rodenhausen , Weidenhausen as well as Bad Endbach and Günterod . The center is about 360 meters above sea level. The area is largely rural, around half of the area of ​​the Oberweidbach district is forested. Oberweidbach lies at the upper end of the Weidbach valley. The highest elevation, the "Old Mountains", is about 100 meters above the village center and lies on the boundary with the Roßbach district. The area of ​​the municipality covers 739 ha.

history

The oldest known written mention of Niederweidbach under the name Weidenbach can be found in Codex Eberhardi and is assigned to the period between 780 and 802, the term of office of Bishop Baugulf in Fulda. However, only one place called "Weidenbach" is mentioned here, so that it is considered proven that one of the two places Oberweidbach or Niederweidbach is referred to. Since it was not possible to determine which place was meant, both districts celebrated the 1200th anniversary of the village together in 2002.

The exact wording of the first mention: "... Berenwic tradidit sancto Bonifacio bona sua in villa Weidenbach, quicquid ibi proprietatis habuit in agris, pratis, pascuis, silvis, dombibus ac mancipiis et eorum prolibus ..."

The German translation: "... Berenwic handed over his goods to St. Boniface in the village of Weidenbach, whatever property he had there in fields, meadows, pastures, forests, houses, servants and their descendants ..."

At today's district of Oberweidbach it has in the past a deserted village called Upper Moorbach given, but due to a significant decline in population numbers in the 15th century was abandoned. The desert was about 1.5 km west of the town center in a side valley of the Weidbach valley.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Oberweidbach in 1830:

"Oberweidbach (L. Bez. Gladenbach) evangel. Branch village; is 1 1 / 2  St. Gladenbach is carried livestock farming and forest use a prosperous village that one chapel, 39 houses and 209 Protestant inhabitants. - Counts of Wegebach or Webach, descendants of the Counts of Hohenlinden, who took their name from Oberweidbach or Niederweidbach, have been here since 1144. For the first place, not only a moat speaks, but also the inaccessible location. Oberweidbach came through the main comparison with Solms on October 30, 1629, in which the offices of Königsberg and Hohensolms were divided, with other places exclusively in Hesse. "

On February 15, 1922, Oberweidbach was supplied with electricity. A municipal pipeline to supply the population with drinking water was built in 1925.

Territorial reform

As part of the municipal reform in Hesse on July 1, 1974, the municipalities Bischoffen were Niederweidbach , Oberweidbach and Wilsbach powerful state law to the new greater community Bischoffen together . On April 1, 1972, the Roßbach community was incorporated into the Niederweidbach community. Due to its geographical location and economic orientation, the municipality of Bischoffen was also assigned to the Wetzlar district on July 1, 1974, and with this it was transferred to the Lahn-Dill district on January 1, 1977. Local districts were established for all formerly independent communities .

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Oberweidbach 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 the "Koenigsberg Office" was responsible for Oberweidbach. 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 superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. " District Court Gladenbach " was therefore from 1821 to 1866 the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Oberweidbach.

After the Biedenkopf district was ceded to Prussia as a result of the peace treaty of September 3, 1866 between the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Kingdom of Prussia , the district of Gladenbach became Prussian. In June 1867 a royal decree was issued that reorganized the court system in the former Duchy of Nassau and the parts of the area that had previously belonged to the Grand Duchy 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 regional court was renamed the Gladenbach District Court. The courts of the higher instances were the District Court of Dillenburg and the Court of Appeal in Wiesbaden . Due to the Courts Constitution Act of 1877, the district court changed to the district of the newly established Marburg Regional Court with effect from October 1, 1879 .

From October 1, 1944 to January 1, 1949, the Gladenbach District Court belonged to the Limburg District Court , but then again to the Marburg District Court . On July 1, 1968, the Gladenbach District Court was repealed, which from then on only served as a branch of the Biedenkopf District Court . On November 1, 2003, this branch was finally closed. With the move from Oberweidbach in 1974 to the Wetzlar district, the area was also assigned to the Wetzlar district court . The higher-level instances are now the Limburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
