geography

Today's district of Ockershausen, which adjoins the inner districts of Marburg to the south-west, includes the statistical district of the same name (4463 inhabitants) as well as the statistical district Stadtwald (1403 inhabitants), which was split off in 1996. It extends to the north ( Hohe Lampe and Habichtstalgasse ) to immediately before the street Rotenberg (statistical district Grassenberg ), to the northeast to immediately before the Schwanallee , but without the streets Schwanhof and Teichwiesenweg (both statistical district Südviertel ), to the east to the Gisselberger Straße (to No. 53, intersection with Willi-Mock-Straße , also Südviertel), and to the southeast to the Lahn .

In addition to the Ockershausen district, which takes up around 310  hectares , this area includes some parts of the Marburg district with public buildings and areas that have been erected since the incorporation in 1931:

  • In the north-east the area of ​​the main cemetery in Marburg , the oldest part of which was built in 1865 and which was significantly expanded to the north-west in the course of the 20th century. To the south adjoining this in particular the Ockershäuser Allee (becomes Ockershäuser Straße and Herrmannstraße in the Ockershäuser district ) and all the streets that branch off from it.
  • In the east the area with various schools that have been built since then ( Elisabeth School in the 1950s, new building of the Philippine in 1969, commercial schools, Waldorf School, Pestalozzi School) and the Georg Gaßmann Stadium built in 1967 . In particular, Leopold-Lucas-Straße 3 to 65 and the houses Bachweg 25, 27 and 29. (The Sophie-von-Brabant-Schule is already in the Ockershausen district.)
  • In the south, the former site of the Tannenberg barracks, which was in operation from 1938 to 1993, above the Cyriaxweimar brook and the city forest south of it.

The district to the right or west of the Lahn rises steeply from the Marburg-Gießener Lahntal to the Marburger Ridge with only a few built-up slopes on the student hedge and with the slope edges in the red sandstone of the Hasenkopf.

In addition to the old core town in the Lahn valley, Ockershausen also includes the city ​​forest , a new but not independent district of Marburg , which was built up in the area of ​​the former Tannenberg barracks, about 130 m higher than the city center in the Lahn valley. This conversion area with its warehouses is partly used as commercial space.

The settlement with multi-family houses along the Graf-von-Stauffenberg-Straße rising from the valley and the 30 hectare semicircular system of the former barracks with inner and outer ring is surrounded by a forest area on the Marburg ridge, except for the agricultural area in the north. Some buildings are listed. The central area is the White Rose Square . The district is supplied with district heating from a heating plant.

The almost treeless summit of Hasenkopf, which is visible from afar, north of the Stadtwald district, is not only important for local recreation, as a landmark on the edge of the Lahn valley, which runs in north-south direction, it is viewed as a stepping stone and resting place for bird migration . Between the former Tannenberg barracks in the south and the hilltop with a distant view of the low mountain range beyond the Elnhausen-Michelbacher Senke , a building area is planned on the side facing away from the city center on the slope in the direction of Cyriaxweimar , with the hilltop itself being developed should remain free.

history

Topographic map from 1857 with a fork in the east, today's Wilhelmsplatz. This is where the district begins.

The place Ockershausen is mentioned for the first time in 1234 in the document book of the Deutschordensballei . According to the oldest surviving Salbuch (hereditary register) of the Marburg office from 1374, Ockershausen was, along with Cappel, Marbach and Wehrda, a house village of the Landgraves of Hesse. This meant that the residents of these villages closest to the Marburg Castle were obliged to provide additional hand and tension services for the landgraves. As early as 1931, Ockershausen was incorporated into Marburg as a district, and residential buildings were built on the former flat farmland in the valley. Today Ockershausen is a district municipality in the core city of Marburg.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Ockershausen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

On January 1, 1931, Ockershausen was incorporated into Marburg.

Courts since 1821

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen. Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisdiction, the administration was taken over by the districts. In Marburg, the district of Marburg was set up for administration and the Marburg district court was the court of first instance responsible for Ockershausen. In 1850 the regional court was renamed the Marburg Justice Office. The Supreme Court was the Higher Appeal Court in Kassel . The higher court of Marburg was subordinate to the province of Upper Hesse. It was the second instance for the judicial offices.

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia, the Marburg district court became the royal Prussian district court of Marburg in 1867 . In June 1867, a royal ordinance was issued that reorganized the court system in the areas that belonged to the former Electorate 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 judicial office was renamed the Marburg District Court. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal .

Even with the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act of 1879, the district court remained under his name. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Marburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

The apparent slump in 2011 correlates with the other results for the city of Marburg from the 2011 census : the city had calculated a population of 80,656 per update in 2010, but came to only 71,413 in the census, i.e. over 11% less. If one takes this miscalculation into account, the number of inhabitants in Ockershausen has increased continuously (slightly) since 1987.

Holy reason

societies

In the sporting field, there is the gymnastics club TSV Marburg-Ockershausen in Ockershausen , to which one of the most successful gymnastics teams in Germany belongs. The gymnasts of the club have already won numerous world and German championships.

Natural space

The Heilige Grund is a valley used as a meadow orchard that connects the old town center of Ockershausen with the newer Stadtwald settlement. It has a great variety of animal and plant species. The term Holy Ground has been used since the Middle Ages. Until 1150, Marburg belonged to Oberweimar under canon law , where the Marburg dead had to be buried. The corpses were transported to Oberweimar via the Totenweg , which runs in the Holy Ground. The burial of the dead from the then independent village of Ockershausen took place in Oberweimar until 1570. Above the Holy Ground, in the area of ​​the Tanzplatz district, a ceramic band settlement was discovered.

Matthew Church

In Ockershausen there is the Matthäuskirche with its external white tower. In addition, in 2005 the “Evangelical Church in the City Forest” was re-established. The New Apostolic Church is located near the cemetery.

The city bus line 5 connects the two residential areas with the city center and the railway station on the Main-Weser Railway ; the bus drives on the county road K68 with a roundabout at the edge of the settlement of the semicircular road network in the urban forest quarter through the open landscape; The White Rose Square is the final stop. Another bus line, line 17, crosses the higher-lying residential area Stadtwald with a subsequent ring line through the suburbs of Hermershausen , Haddamshausen and Cyriaxweimar from the stop at Platz der Weißen Rose or ends there as 17 (8). Historically, the Alte Weinstrasse on the ridge above the Lahn is now a route of the bicycle network and a section of the Lahn hiking trail .
