history

Location of Rixfeld ( Rexfeldt ) on a map of the Hochstift Fulda from 1574
Protestant church

The oldest surviving mention of Rixfeld can be found in an exchange contract that dates back to around 900. The place is referred to as the Rǒhgisesfelt .

Rixfeldt belonged to the rule of Riedesel and from 1806 to the Grand Duchy of Hesse .

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , Rixfeld became a district of Herbstein on August 1, 1972 by state law .

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Rixfeld was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Law

Substantive law

In Rixfeld, the Riedesel'schen ordinances were considered particular law . The Common Law applied only to the extent those regulations did not contain provisions. Theoretically, this special right retained its validity even while it belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century, but only individual provisions were used in judicial practice. The particular law was replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly valid throughout the German Empire .

Court constitution 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 " Riedeselsche Patrimonialgericht Altenschlirf" was responsible for Rixfeld from 1806 . 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. "Landgericht Altenschlirf" was therefore from 1821 to 1853 the name of the court of first instance in Altenschlierf, which was responsible for Rixfeld. In 1853 the regional court was moved to Herbstein.

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 the Herbstein Local Court and assigned to the district of the regional court Pouring . From 1943, the Herbstein District Court was only operated as a branch of the Lauterbach District Court before it was finally dissolved in 1968 and added to the Lauterbach District Court area. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Marburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

Street

Rixfeld is on the B 275 and on the Vulkanradweg .

rail

Former Rixfeld station on the Vogelsbergbahn

Rixfeld was on the Vogelsbergbahn , which was shut down after 1994 . The route now serves the volcano cycle path.

The former Rixfeld station of the Vogelsbergbahn (now also called Oberwaldbahn ) was 1.6 km from the village.

At the time the railway was in operation, there was a main track, a crossing track and a loading track with a loading ramp that ended at a buffer stop. Mainly wood and fuel were loaded here.

After the railway operation had been given up, the entire property was owned by the Catholic Scouts of Europe , which offered overnight stays in the main building and an outbuilding. The property was sold in 2017 and has been home to Café Rosenbahnhof since May 2018 . Between the reception building and the main road there is a bicycle rest area with a table, two benches and an information board.

The reception building of the station operates outside very well maintained. It is an imposing type building clad with wooden shingles , which was built in 1901 based on a design by Ludwig Hofmann . When the railway still the main mode of transport in the Vogelsberg region was, it was home to a waiting room, the ticket office and the home of the station master . A front structure reaching to the track was used by the dispatcher to set points and signals . The reception building is a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act . The goods shed is constructed in half-timbered construction, the compartments are lined with red bricks .

Wind farm

The wind park on the 456 m high Rixfelder Höhe north of the village is a landmark that can be seen from afar . In 1996 LuV Windenergie GmbH from Oldenburg initially built five AN Bonus 600/41 wind turbines with a hub height of 68 m and a nominal output of each 600 kw erected. After fourteen years of operation, the wind farm was fully repowered in 2010 . The old systems were dismantled and in their place three new wind turbines of the type Enercon E-82 E2 with a hub height of 138 m and a nominal output of 2.3 MW each were installed and put into operation in July 2011. Together with several of the same type later built in the area of ​​the municipalities of Feldatal , Mücke and Ulrichstein, with a total height of 179 m until the Ruhlkirchen wind farm was completed in autumn 2013, these systems were the tallest structures in the Vogelsberg district. After the sale and dismantling of the old systems, the renewed wind farm was inaugurated on July 15, 2012. It can supply up to 15,000 households with electricity.
