history

Rockshausen was first mentioned in documents as Rucheshusen around 1228 , when the provost Arnold of the Premonstratensian monastery in Eppenberg handed over goods to the newly founded monastery of St. Georg in Homberg . In 1332 the monastery had a hoof that it had received from the Eppenberg monastery. Around 1338 or 1350, Wigand Holzadel had two men in Rockshausen as a Homberg castle fief . In 1338 Rockshausen was the landgrave's fiefdom of Falkenberg and was called "iurisdictio ville" . Hermann Lugelin bought an estate in the village from Hermann von Falkenberg in 1416. From 1434 the place was a desert (from 1575, at the latest from 1585 eight house seats were mentioned again). In 1467 the von Falkenberg brothers sold the grain interest from their farms and farms in Rockshausen to the Haina monastery . In 1485 Hans von Falkenberg signed his part of the Rockshausen estate over to his wife. The children and the widow of Thilo von Falkenberg inherited three farms in the village in 1535. In 1540 the Kassel citizen Albert Kregel signed his free farm in Rockshausen over to his uncle. From 1575 the place belonged to the office of Homberg , the lower jurisdiction had that of Falkenberg, the embarrassing court was held by the Landgrave. Landgrave Moritz von Hessen-Kassel acquired the village and the tithe from Georg von Falkenberg in 1606 , the last male offspring of the Lords of Falkenberg in 1613. In 1616, Landgrave Moritz Rockshausen gave his second wife Juliane and his youngest son Moritz a gift; from then on the place belonged to Hessen-Rotenburg as inheritance . Emperor Ferdinand II confirmed this donation in 1628. In 1742 the place belonged again to the Homberg district. In 1829 Ernst von Blumenstein bought the Rockshausen estate from his half-brother Victor Amadeus , the last Landgrave of Hessen-Rotenburg.

During the time of the Kingdom of Westphalia , from December 7, 1907 to October 26, 1813, Rockshausen belonged to the canton of Homberg in the Hersfeld district . Then the place came back to the Hessian Office Homberg. During the administrative reform in the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, Rockshausen came to the Homberg district and the Homberg justice department . After the annexation of the electorate by Prussia in 1866, the place belonged to the district court and district of Homberg from 1867 , from 1932 to the amalgamated Fritzlar-Homberg district , which was renamed the Fritzlar-Homberg district in 1939 and became part of the Schwalm-Eder district in 1974.
