Geographical location

The place is west of the federal highway 5 directly at the junction Fernwald. The state road 3129 runs through Steinbach.

Nearby localities are the districts of Fernwald Albach and Annerod and Pohlheim- Garbenteich .

history

Town center with ev. Church

Steinbach was first mentioned in a document in 1141. The village was always in close contact with Schiffenberg Abbey . Tithing was paid there until 1809 .

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

"Steinbach (L. Bez. Giessen) evangel. Parish village; is 1 St. from Giessen, has 122 houses and 736 inhabitants, who are Protestant apart from 8 Catholics and 36 Jews. - Clementia, Countess von Gleiberg and founder of the Schiffenberg monastery, set a document that the six villages that had been laid out on the new clearings in the Wiesecker Wald should be parish off to Schiffenberg, and the archbishop knows from a document from 1145 Albero assigned these six villages, including Steinbach, to the church in Schiffenberg. A Konradsrode was nearby, and the name of the Konradsröder field near Steinbach should still be known. "

A big fire in 1842 destroyed almost the whole place, including the old church. As a result, the Steinbach Evangelical Church was rebuilt in its current form from 1845 to 1848 .

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Steinbach voluntarily merged with the municipalities of Annerod and Albach on December 31, 1971 to form the municipality of Fernwald.

Historical forms of names

In documents that have been preserved, Steinbach was mentioned under the following place names (the year it was mentioned in brackets):

  • Steinbach (1141) [false original. A forger's hand of the XIII. In the 19th century, Seinbach added Wyss, document book of the Deutschordens-Ballei 3, no. 1331]
  • Steinbach, in (1248) [Document book of the Arnsburg monastery 3, No. 54 = Schenk zu Schweinsberg, Alt-Gießen, p. 247f.]
  • Stenbach, in (1302) [Document book of the Arnsburg monastery 3, no. 308]

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Steinbach 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 Steinbach. 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. " Landgericht Gießen " was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Steinbach from 1821 to 1879.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the previous regional and city courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were repealed and replaced by local courts in the same place, as was the case with the higher courts, whose function was now taken over by the newly established regional courts. The districts of the city and regional court of Gießen were merged and now, together with the towns of Allertshausen and Climbach , which previously belonged to the district court of Grünberg, formed the district of the newly created district court of Gießen, which has since been part of the district of the newly established regional court of Gießen . Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances of the District Court of Gießen, the Regional Court of Gießen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice are the last instance.
