history

The church, consecrated in 1757.
Old bells from the Buderus iron foundry at the entrance to the church.

In 1183 the abbot of the Hersfeld monastery certified that the previously uninhabited and uninhabited ridge above the Horloff, called Ruberstisberc , could not be made arable without the help of the local bailiff Kuno I. von Munzenberg . Therefore, Kloster Hersfeld enfeoffs this with half of the current and future income from the future settlement.

In 1397, Count Philip VII von Falkenstein-Münzenberg received permission from King Wenzel to erect a gallows for the town.

Previously belonging to the Munzenberg lordship , the village passed to the Counts of Solms as part of the Munzenberg inheritance and, following the division of Solms, to the Johannine line of the House of Solms in 1432 .

According to the documents Solmser the residents of Ruppertsburg pay in 1450 an annual Bede of 40 florins to their landlords Count Johann von Solms . In addition, from this year he will lease the forest between Ruppertsburg and the devastated village of Horloff , the so-called Horloffer Steinbühl , for an additional two gold coins , subject to a repopulation of Horloff.

In addition, the Arnsburg monastery also had possessions in Ruppertsburg; these are sold to the Antoniterkloster Grünberg in 1489 .

Under administrative law, Ruppertsburg belonged to the Laubach office in 1820, was assigned to the Hungen district in 1822 and the Grünberg district in 1837 . In 1848 Ruppertsburg was part of the Gießen administrative district , in 1852 in the Schotten district and in 1938 in the Gießen district and from 1977 to 1979 in the Lahn-Dill district of the old style.

Until 1548 Ruppertsburg belonged to the parish of Laubach, after which it became a subsidiary of Gonterskirchen. In 1720 the parish became independent, with Johann Theodor Seiler (until 1725) named as the first pastor . The church patronage lay with the Counts of Solms-Laubach . In 1757 the church was consecrated after seven years of construction .

For 1830, eleven inhabitants of the Jewish religion are recorded, in 1932 two Jewish families lived in the village. In 1965, 50 of the 790 inhabitants were Catholic .

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Ruppertsburg was incorporated into the city of Laubach on December 31, 1970 on a voluntary basis . For the district of Ruppertsburg, as for the other incorporated, formerly independent municipalities of Laubach, a local district with a local advisory board and local head was set up in accordance with the Hessian municipal code.

economy

In the Solms documents, mills can be found in the years 1557 and 1631 and in the following years.

In 1707 founded Graf Friedrich Ernst zu Solms-Laubach on the edge of the district Ruppertsburg towards Gonterskirchen the Friedrichshütte . It still exists today. In 1717 Johann Wilhelm Buderus I initially took over the overall management of the smelter operation, from March 14, 1731 then as a leaseholder. This date is considered to be the founding date of Buderus AG, which today operates worldwide . The Friedrichshütte itself was leased in 1870 by Julius Römheld , who expanded it to include an ironworks in 1879. Today's machine factory Römheld in Ruppertsburg was built in 1967 and is the largest employer in town.

The art-historically interesting burial site of the Buderus family was in Ruppertsburg until 2002. The gravestones were located in the company museum of Buderus AG in Hirzenhain until 2017 and were brought back by the Ruppertsburg Local History Association. Today they are in the cemetery in Ruppertsburg.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Ruppertsburg 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 the landlords and thus the "Patrimonial Court of the Counts Solms-Laubach" in Laubach was responsible for Ruppertsburg 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 second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. From 1822 the Counts of Solms-Laubach let the Grand Duchy of Hesse exercise their court rights on their behalf. “ Landgericht Laubach ” was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Ruppertsburg. The count also waived his right to the second instance, which was exercised by the law firm in Hungen. It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights became final with the “Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848 canceled.

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 at the same location, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Laubach Local Court" and assigned to the district of the regional court of Giessen . On July 1, 1968, the district court was dissolved, and the community of Ruppertsburg was added to the district of the district court of Giessen . The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.
