Stornfels is the smallest district of Nidda in the Hessian Wetterau district .

geography

The street village is located on an eroded volcanic vent of the Vogelsberg in the northern Wetterau and is the northernmost as well as the most hilly district of Niddas.

history

The Stornfels Castle , also known as Sloz Sturmfels , was probably built between 800 and 1300 . It was first mentioned in writing on January 15, 1353 as Sloz Sturmfels the Counts of Ziegenhain-Nidda . Today only the 18 m deep castle well and remains of the brick pavement of the castle courtyard behind the church can be found in the ground . An old entrance archway and remains of an old tower at the south-eastern corner of the church can still be seen today. A six-pointed star is carved as a coat of arms above the inlet arch. The castle was built at that time as a castle to secure the "right Niddastraße" that led from Frankfurt am Main to Kassel . The Evangelical Church was rebuilt in 1837 from the castle's former tithe barn . Before that there was a small chapel at "Höhenblick 35", which fell into disrepair at the beginning of the 19th century. The castle fountain is not accessible.

To the north of Stornfels, the "Luther Oak" recalls a presumed stay of Martin Luther on his way to the Reichstag in Worms (1521) .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports about Stornfels in 1830:

"Stornfels (L. Bez. Schotten) evangel. Branch village; is 2 St. von Schotten, has 52 houses and 253 Protestant residents, as well as 1 church and 1 courtyard, called the Schellhof. The ruins of a knight's castle lie on a hill within the village. Because of its high location, the village does not have a single well and the inhabitants have to fetch the water from the valley. - Stornfels was formerly the castle of the neighboring Ulfa, which seems to have been the property of the Counts of Nidda as early as 1206 and was probably acquired by them through Heurath. In 1353, Count Gottfried had his own Sturmfels Castle, and what it entails, a fiefdom for the Abbey of Fuld . "

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the previously independent municipalities of Bad Salzhausen, Borsdorf, Fauerbach bei Nidda, Geiß-Nidda, Harb, Kohden, Michelnau, Ober-Lais, Ober-Schmitten, Ober-Widdersheim, Stornfels, merged on December 1, 1970 Ulfa, Unter-Schmitten, Wallernhausen and the city of Nidda to form the new city of Nidda.

From 1990 to 1992 there was a renewal of the village in Stornfels.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Stornfels 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 landlords and thus the office of Schotten was responsible for Stornfels. 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. Stornfels fell into 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 Stornfels 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 the resolution of the Hessian state parliament and Stornfels was assigned to the district court of Büdingen . The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.
