history

The place was first mentioned in 1349 as Dudinhusen . The place consisted of a mill and three yards. In 1720 religious refugees from France ( Huguenots and Waldensians ) came to Todenhausen. There were around 40 families who were allowed to build their farms along the country road. From then on, the terms "Colonie" and "Deutsch-Todenhausen" were coined. The traditions of these Huguenots and Waldensians can still be found in the village today. The name Todenhausen has nothing to do with death or the dead. It comes from the first inhabitant named Dudo or Dudin (Dudinhusen). In the 20th century the village was expanded to the north. The area is popularly known as "Jackehausen".

In 1954, the Hessian state government decided to merge the two communities “Todenhausen-Colonie” and “Deutsch-Todenhausen” into one “Todenhausen” community.

On December 31, 1971, Todenhausen was incorporated into the city of "Wetter (Hessen-Nassau)" (former name) as part of the regional reform in Hesse .

Territorial history and administration

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

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. The Marburg district was responsible for the administration and the Wetter Judicial Office was the court of first instance for Todenhausen. 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 judicial office of Wetter became the royal Prussian district court of Wetter 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 The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance.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 Wetter 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 (GVG) in 1877, the district court remained in existence. In 1943 the district court became a branch of the district court of Marburg and in 1946 the branch was also closed. The district of the district court of Wetter merged with the district of the district court of Marburg.

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.
