history

Territorial history

The hamlet was in the territory of the Birkenau lordship which the Lords of Wambolt acquired in 1721.

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of February 25, 1803, the territorial relations in the Reich were reorganized. The occasion was the conquests of Napoleon , who had extended the French state border to the Rhine. This last legal work of the old empire implemented the provisions of the peace at Luneville and ushered in the end of the old empire, which ceased to exist in 1806 with the establishment of the Rhine Confederation under the pressure of Napoleon and the laying down of the imperial crown. On August 14, 1806, the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt was elevated to a Grand Duchy by Napoleon, in opposition to placing high military contingents in France and joining the Confederation of the Rhine . The rule of Birknau was mediated by the Rhine Confederation Act and incorporated into the newly founded Grand Duchy of Hesse, where it was initially continued as the Hessian district bailiwick . In 1821, as part of a comprehensive administrative reform, the district bailiffs in the provinces of Starkenburg and Upper Hesse of the Grand Duchy were dissolved and district councils were introduced, with Rohrbach being assigned to the district of Lindenfels . This reform also regulated the administrative administration at the municipal level. The mayor's office in Birkenau was also responsible for Kallstadt and Rohrbach, although the mayors had been elected by the municipality since 1820 and there were no more appointments of mayors . Furthermore, regional courts were created as part of this reform, which were now independent of the administration. The district court districts corresponded in scope to the district council districts and the district court of Fürth was responsible as the court of first instance and replaced the patrimonial court Birkenau as the ordinary court for the district of Lindenfels .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Rohrbach in 1829:

»Rohrbach (L. Bez. Lindenfels) Lutheran Filialdorf, is 3 1 ⁄ 2   St. from Lindenfels and belongs to the Baron von Wambold. There are 6 houses and 50 inhabitants, including 2 reforms. are like 3 farmers and 2 artisans. The place came under Hess in 1806. Your Highness. "

In the statistics of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, based on December 1867, the branch village Rohrbach with the mayor's office in Birkenau, 6 houses, 67 inhabitants, the district of Lindenfels, the district court of Fürth, the Protestant parish Birkanu of the deanery of Lindenfels and the Catholic parish of Birkenau des Deanery Heppenheim, indicated.

The further territorial history corresponds to that of Birkenau, which came to today's Bergstrasse district in 1938 via the Lindenfels and Heppenheim districts . In 1927 the district consisted of 66.3 hectares .

In 1958 Rohrbach was incorporated into the neighboring Ober-Mumbach . Together with Ober-Mumbach, Rohrbach became part of the municipality of Mörlenbach in the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse on December 31, 1970 .
