Rodheim-Bieber is the largest part of the municipality of Biebertal in the central Hessian district of Gießen .

Geographical location

Rodheim-Bieber is located on the banks of the Bieber , a tributary of the Lahn , about 7 km northwest of the city of Giessen .

history

Rodheim was mentioned for the first time around 1150 under the name Rudeheim . While Bieber emerged from a few mills and an ironworks in the course of the 17th century, the first mention of these dates back to 1660. At that time, the Bieberhütte Eisenerz from Wommelshausen had to be approached to keep the smelting operations going . Bieber was never an independent municipality, nor did it have its own district. In 1854, Bieber one of 2 / 3 to Fellingshausen and one third Rodheim. In 1932 it was incorporated into Rodheim.

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

"Rodheim (L. Bez. Giessen) evangel. Parish village; is located on the Bieberbach 1 1 ⁄ 2  St. von Giessen, has 150 houses and 827 inhabitants with von Bieber, who, apart from 1 Catholics and 23 Jews, are Protestant. - A family named itself after the village. Ernst von Rodheim and his closest relatives made the Blankenstein castle a fiefdom to Landgravine Sophie in 1261. Ludwig von Rodheim was in 1352 Burgmann zu Königsberg. Rodheim was common between Hessen and Nassau, but became exclusively Hessian when the division established in 1585. "

The community Rodheim ad Bieber was renamed Rodheim-Bieber in 1954 . In 1970 Rodheim-Bieber was merged with the previously independent communities of Vetzberg , Fellingshausen , Königsberg and Krumbach to form the community of Biebertal. Frankenbach then followed in 1977.

From 1898 to 1963, the Biebertalbahn , called "Bieberlieschen", a narrow-gauge small train for the transport of people and iron ore, ran here.

Territorial reform

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the independent community of Rodheim-Bieber voluntarily merged with the communities of Fellingshausen , Königsberg , Krumbach and Vetzberg to form the new large community of Biebertal on December 1, 1970 . For Rodheim-Bieber, as for all formerly independent municipalities, local districts with local advisory councils and local councilors were set up. The seat of the municipal administration was Rodheim-Bieber.

Historical forms of names

In documents that have been received, Rodheim-Bieber was mentioned under the following place names (the year in which it was mentioned in brackets):

  • Rudeheim , de (around 1150) [Wyss, document book of the Deutschordens-Ballei 3, p. 313 f. No. 1337]
  • Rodeheim (1263)
  • Roddeheym under Foczberg (1428)
  • Rodheim-Bieber (1954) [Renamed from Rodheim an der Bieber to Rodheim-Bieber on April 1, 1954]

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Rodheim-Bieber 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 "Landamt Gießen" was responsible for Rodheim. 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. " Stadtgericht Gießen " was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Rodheim from 1821 to 1866.

After the cession of the northwestern part of the district of Gießen and with it Rodheim to Prussia, as a result of the peace treaty of September 3, 1866 between the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Kingdom of Prussia , Rodheim was separated from the city court of Gießen. 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 District Court of Gladenbach and Rodheim was assigned to this 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 . When Rodheim moved to the Wetzlar district in 1932, it also moved to the Wetzlar district court . On August 1, 1979, Rodheim and the municipality of Biebertal moved to the area of ​​the district court of Gießen . The superordinate instances are now the Regional Court of Giessen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
