Otterbach is a district of the municipality of Gemünden (Felda) in the Vogelsbergkreis in central Hesse .

geography

The cluster village is in Upper Hesse . The Otterbach rises near the village on the Billsteinkopf . It flows into the Felda .

history

The village was first mentioned in a document under the name Otterbach around 1300.

In the Middle Ages the place belonged to Grafschaft Ziegenhain . In 1450 the last Count of Ziegenhain and Nidda died childless. According to an agreement with the Landgraves of Hesse , in this case the inheritance fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse . But it was not until 1495 that an inheritance dispute with the Counts of Hohenlohe could be settled, when the Hessian landgraves settled the Hohenlohe with 9,000 guilders for the two counties.

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

"Otterbach (L. Bez. Kirtorf) evangel. Branch village; is 2 1 / 4  from St. Kirtorf, and has 26 houses that are 145 people who are Protestants, inhabited. The majority of the inhabitants belong to the peasant class. "

Territorial reform

On December 31, 1971 Otterbach was incorporated into the municipality of Gemünden as part of the regional reform in Hesse .

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Otterbach 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 "Office Homberg an der Ohm" was responsible for Otterbach. 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 courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. " Regional Court Homberg an der Ohm " was therefore from 1821 to 1879 the name of the court of first instance in Homberg an der Ohm, which was responsible for Otterbach.

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 at the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Local Court Homberg an der Ohm" and Allocation to the district of the regional court in Giessen . On June 15, 1943, the court became a branch of the Alsfeld District Court, but was converted into a full court again with effect from June 1, 1948. On July 1, 1968, the Homberg District Court was dissolved and Otterbach was assigned to the Alsfeld District Court . In the Federal Republic of Germany, 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.
