history

Schotten - Excerpt from the Topographia Hassiae by Matthäus Merian 1655
Scots 1849

prehistory

Archaeological finds from the Schotten area go back to the Neolithic . Several barrows and the ramparts "Alteburg" and "Wildhauskopf" with an unknown date tell from prehistoric times. A large spherical vessel from the Hallstatt period was excavated in the 1960s in the area of ​​today's outdoor pool and is now in the Vogelsberg local history museum in Schotten.

By the 21st century

An "ecclesia in Buchonia " is mentioned in a document on June 21, 778. The abbot Beatus of the Honau monastery near Strasbourg donated eight churches to the Irish Scottish monks of his monastery. The location of this church “in Buchonia” in today's Scots is considered to be secure. There were a total of eight own churches in Upper Hesse and one in Mainz .

The establishment of the settlement is related to the beginning of the high medieval clearing period of the 8th century. Schotten is located on an old trunk road that runs along the Nidda over the Vogelsberg. The Alteburg served to protect this street and probably also the first settlement in Schotten , a tower castle probably built around 1000 in today's Alteburg Park (today overformed by a half-timbered building). The builders of this complex are not known; it could be built by the Counts of Nidda. The first Scottish church is considered the foundation of Irish Scottish monks.

On September 27, 1293 a "plebanus in Scotis" is mentioned. The large Gothic Church of Our Lady was built in the 14th century and was a popular pilgrimage church for several decades, presumably on one of the routes of the Camino de Santiago .

In the late Middle Ages , Schotten belonged to the Eppstein and Trimberger families . In a feud with members of these knight families who were active as robber barons, the Rheinische Städtebund took the city in 1385 and destroyed both the walls and the so-called Eppsteiner Schloss and probably also the Alteburg . From 1403, Schotten belonged to the Hessian landgraves. During this time, the previously destroyed Eppstein Castle was also renewed.

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

“Schotten (L. Bez. Gl. N.) city; is on the Nidda, in a valley and at the foot of the Vogelsberg, 1044 Hess. (803 par.) Feet above sea level, such as 8 hours southeast of Giessen. There are 351 houses and 2055 inhabitants, who are Protestant apart from 127 Jews, as well as a beautiful church with a high tower, 1 castle, 1 forester's house, called the Kiliansherberg, and 9 mills, including 2 fulling mills. The castle in which the judge lives is a beautiful building surrounded by a wall that is used as a garden. Schotten is the seat of the district councilor, the district court, the rent office and the tax commissioner. The city has 97 cloth makers, 20 linen weavers, 15 stocking weavers, 4 cloth makers, 4 dyers, 54 butchers, 15 shoemakers, 8 red tanners, 2 saddlers, 3 hat makers, 28 bakers, 10 tailors, 11 masons, 3 stone deckers, 6 carpenters, 3 cooper , 2 turners, 1 button maker, 4 glasses, 3 locksmiths, 1 pharmacy, etc. The butchers prepare very good cervelat sausages and thus conduct a considerable trade, which is mostly conducted in the Prussian states. A cattle market is held every Monday. - A Udo from the Conradinian house was bishop in Strasbourg, and died in 965. Through him the diocese of Strasbourg came to wetterauischen possessions, and Schotten appears as a fiefdom of this diocese. It can therefore be assumed that Schotten came to Strasbourg through this Udo and was later given to the Büdingisches Haus. With the Lords of Breuberg, Schotten can be found as a fiefdom of the diocese of Strasbourg, and in 1310 Bishop Johann of Strasbourg gave his feudal consent that Eberhard von Breuberg, his wife Mechtilde von Waldeck, should weather Scots. In 1335 the Schotten court was transferred from Conrad von Trimberg to Hermann von Lißberg, and in 1345 Schotten, which was pledged to Waldeck for 800 pounds of Heller, was redeemed by Luckarde von Eppenstein, an heir to Eberhard von Breuberg. After the Breuberger exit, Schotten came to Conrad von Trimberg and von Eppenstein, who jointly owned it. In 1354 Carl IV granted Conraden von Trimberg, called Schotten for his village, all the freedoms, rights and customs of the city of Friedberg, and in 1356 he allowed him and God Peace of Eppenstein to make a market and a town out of their common village and to encourage them to hold a weekly market there every week, and to give them the gallows and all the dishes, and all the people and citizens who live and settle there, all the freedom, law and goodwill of the city and citizens of Frankfurt. In 1364 the Lords of Trimberg transferred their share in Schotten to the von Schweinsberg tavern, around 1550 Florentine guilders . The Lords of Eppenstein still owned their shares in 1377. The church, which was consecrated to the Archangel Michael, first appears in a document in 1330. At that time there was also a chapel in Schotten, the Heil. The Virgin was consecrated, and it was said that many miracles would take place there. In the 14th century the churches in Rüdingshain and Rainrod were daughter churches of the von Schotten. "

Incorporations

In the course of administrative reform in Hesse on 1 December 1970, the previously independent municipalities Breungeshain, Busenborn, Acorn Saxony, Eschenrod, idols, Michelbach, Rainrod and Rudingshain were voluntarily incorporated . On December 31, 1971, Betzenrod and Wingershausen were added. Einartshausen followed on April 1, 1972. Finally, the former municipalities and now districts Burkhard , Kaulstoss and Sichenhausen of the city of Gedern were reclassified to Schotten on August 1, 1972 by state law.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Schotten was located or 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 landlords and thus the Office of Scots was responsible for Scots. 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 establishment 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. Schotten a lot in the judicial district of the " Landgericht Schotten ".

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 "Amtsgericht Schotten" and the district was allocated of the regional court of Giessen .

With effect from July 1, 1968, the local court of Schotten was dissolved and Schotten came to the judicial district of the local court of Nidda . On January 1, 2012, the district court of Nidda was also dissolved in accordance with a resolution of the Hessian state parliament . and Schotten assigned to the Büdingen District Court . The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.
