Location of Rödgen in Giessen

Rödgen is a district of the central Hessian university town of Gießen .

Rödgen is 5.5 km northeast of Giessen in the Busecker Valley . Landesstrasse 3126 and Kreisstrasse 31 meet in the village. The Vogelsbergbahn runs past the northern edge of the village.

history

The place was first mentioned in writing in a document from 1017. The village was certainly settled much earlier. As early as 1646 Jews can be found in Rödgen.

The statistical, topographical and historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on the Buseck Valley in 1830 :

“Busecker Thal (L. Bez. Giessen) area. The Busecker Thal consists of 9 towns: Altenbuseck, Großenbuseck, Albach, Beuern, Bersrod, Burkhardsfelden, Oppenrod, Reißkirchen and Rödchen, which together have 5675 inhabitants. - The foursome and heirs of Buseck came under landgrave jurisdiction in 1332. But they never wanted to be seen as country residents , but as immediate imperial residents. Large disputes arose over this in 1547, and in the settlement made in 1576 the residents recognized the sovereign sovereignty of the landgrave, but the jurisdiction of the von Buseck was recognized by the landgrave as an undisputed imperial fiefdom. In 1706, new controversies caused the imperial Reichshofrath to repeal the settlement and to declare the Busecker valley to be an immediate imperial fiefdom, to penalize those with 50 marks of solder as a penalty, and to transfer the upholding of this resolution to several neighboring imperial estates. The Landgrave then turned to the Imperial Assembly at Regensburg, whereupon the Hesse-Darmstadt House of Hesse-Darmstadt was given jurisdiction, along with fiefdom, as a permanent imperial commission, and the settlement of 1576 was confirmed. In 1827, the Baron von Buseck family ceded the patrimonial jurisdiction to which they were entitled in the Busecker Thal to the state. "

as well as about Rödgen:

"Rödchen (L. Bez. Giessen) evangel. Parish village; is not far from the Wieseck, 1 St. from Giessen and belongs to the Baron von Buseck family. The place has 72 houses and 399 inhabitants, who are Protestant except for 9 Jews. Agriculture is in the bloom and quite a lot of fruit can be grown annually. - The place was formerly called Rode and in the 15th century belonged to the Buseck church area. In 1827 the von Buseck family ceded the patrimonial jurisdiction they were entitled to in this place to the state. "

The municipality of Rödgen was incorporated into the city of Gießen on October 1, 1971. As a result of the Hessian regional reform , the new town of Lahn was founded on January 1st, 1977 from the towns of Gießen and Wetzlar and several surrounding communities. As a result, Allendorf was assigned to the district of Dutenhofen and thus also became a new district of the "Lahnstadt" with more than 156,000 inhabitants. When the city of Lahn was dissolved again on August 1, 1979, it was rejoined to the city of Gießen.

The Hessian initial reception facility is located on the site of the former US depot on Rödgener-Strasse . This is responsible for the reception of asylum seekers distributed to Hesse.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Rödgen 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 registry lords and thus the "Patrimonial Court of the Barons of Buseck" in Grossen-Buseck was responsible for Rödgen. 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. But it was not until 1827 that patrimonial jurisdiction was exercised by the " Landgericht Gießen " on behalf of the barons. As a result of the March Revolution of 1848, with the "Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords" of April 15, 1848, the special rights of the class were finally repealed.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the previous regional and city courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were repealed and replaced by local courts in the same place, as was the case with the higher courts, whose function was now taken over by the newly established regional courts. The districts of the city and regional court of Gießen were merged and now, together with the towns of Allertshausen and Climbach , which previously belonged to the district court of Grünberg , formed the district of the newly created district court of Gießen, which has since been part of the district of the newly established regional court of Gießen . Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. 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.
