Utphe is a district of Hungen in the central Hessian district of Gießen .

Geographical location

Utphe is south of Hungen . The federal highway 489 and the short Hessen , which connects Frankfurt am Main with Eisenach , run through the village . To the east is the Untere Knappensee , to the north of it the Obere Knappensee , both former lignite opencast mines .

history

In 1958 a millstone from the La Tène period was found, which suggests a pre-Christian settlement.

First mention and place name

The place is first mentioned in a document with "in Odupher marca", in the Utpher district, in the year 773 in the Lorsch Codex . Albuin donated four acres of farmland to Lorsch Monastery . The donations to the Lorsch Monastery increased in the area around Utphe, Bellersheim , Obbornhofen , Feldheim, Wohnbach and Cruftila, a desert near Rockenberg , and other places.

The place name indicates a body of water. Steen refers to the "location on the edge of the water-rich and marshy Horloff lowland."

Other historical forms of the place name were:

  • 1191 in villa Othife
  • 1282 in Odephe
  • 1284 de Otpha
  • 1357 gein Odyfe

In the 11th century, the Salians reorganized their territory in the Wetterau . The Swabian Count Werner and the County of Maden benefited from the reorganization of the county relations . In Utphe in particular, they owned considerable property. The Breitenau monastery near Guxhagen , founded by Count Werner IV. In 1113, probably received the Utpher goods as initial equipment. The repeated visits by the emperors to neighboring Berstadt in the 11th century also speak for the influence of the Salians in the northern Wetterau .

During the Staufer period , the Reichsministeriale von Hagen-Munzenberg administered . After the Munzenbergs died out, Utphe fell to the Counts of Falkenstein in the partition contract of 1271 .

Owned by the monasteries Breitenau and Haina

The Archbishop Conrad of Wittelsbach , Roman Catholic Diocese of Mainz , leased 1,191 Lifetime goods of the convent Breitenau to Utphe because the goods threw off little income due to its distance. In exchange, the monastery received possessions from the archbishopric. These goods were acquired in 1256 by the knight Guntram von Ulfa , who belonged to the Schenck zu Schweinsberg family , from the previous hereditary owners. Since the Breitenau monastery retained the rights to the property, a dispute arose which was ended in 1261 when the monastery waived the disputed property in Utphe and all other claims. However, in 1263 Guntram had to sell its goods including a mill on the Horloff to the Haina monastery due to indebtedness . The Breitenau monastery transferred its goods at Utphe to Haina in 1282. In 1304, the Haina monastery waived all claims against knight Guntram III. of Ulfa († around 1306) because of the monastery property in Utphe, which they had given Guntram. However, in 1306 the goods were reassigned to Haina Monastery.

The expansion of the Hainer possessions in the Wetterau was supported by the Lords of Falkenstein . In 1270 they transferred goods belonging to the brothers Brandan and Wigand, who carried them as Falkensteiner fiefs , to the Haina monastery. The knights received goods in Göns as compensation for the fief. In 1282 and 1293 Hartmud and Rupert von Karben were able to sell their goods at Utphe to the monastery of Haina. The lords of Falkenstein as liege lords of the von Karben confirmed the transfers. The von Falkenstein, von Limburg and von Hanau families agreed in 1297 to sell the Carbian goods at Utphe. The Marienborn monastery also sold its property in Utphe to the Haina monastery in 1396.

In a further phase between 1312 and 1332, Haina again significantly expanded its property ownership and privileges at Utphe through purchases.

Hartmann von Hoghenfels sold his share of the small and large tithe von Uthpe to the Haina monastery in 1423 . In 1464 the monastery acquired further shares in the tithe.

Johann von Langenstein sold his estate at Utphe to the knight Gerhard von Hüftersheim in the desert near Ober-Mörlen in 1383. In 1405, the knight Henne Groppe von Bellersheim gave the Arnsburg monastery a validity from this hoof . An exemption from 1434 by the Counts of Solms and von Eppstein affected the farms and settlements of the Arnsburg monastery in Birklar , Bellersheim, Utphe, Muschenheim and other places from all services, taxes and duties. The conventional services were excluded.

In 1528 Count Philipp von Solms-Lich bought the farm in Utphe for 2,000 florins, including interest at Ober-Bessingen , Ettingshausen , Gonterskirchen , Laubach and Trais-Horloff .

Tithe ratios

After 1414, Henne von Bellersheim owned the farm at Obbornhofen with accessories and a farm at Utphe.

In 1461, Count Otto von Solms awarded Heilmann von Bellersheim part of the tithe to Bellersheim, Utphe, Graß and Geiß-Nidda to a münzenberg man fief.

In 1569, Count Hans-Georg von Solms received from the Mainz Cathedral Chapter a tithing in attendance for Utphe, Trais-Horloff, Inheiden and the deserted area of ​​Feldheim for a period of nine years. The same loan took place in 1610 for twelve years.

Modern times

With the affiliation to Solms-Laubach the place got a certain central function. Since the 17th century the Rieddörfer Inheiden, Trais-Horloff and the field mark of the desert of Feldheim belonged to the Utphe sub-district . At the beginning of the 18th century, Wohnbach was also included in the Utphe sub-office, which had come into the possession of Solms-Laubach as a pledge. For a short time, a separate line of the county of Solms-Laubach with Solms-Laubach-Utphe was formed. The brothers Friedrich Ernst (1671–1723) and Carl Otto (1673–1743) von Solms-Laubach agreed that Carl Otto would take over the sub-office of Utphe. His son Carl Ludwig (1704–1762) died unmarried and childless. With that the sub-office fell back to Laubach. In January 1707, the bailiff Böhler made a “Specification of the entire court riding at Utphe”. After that, "Mr. Buicker" owned a "Brauhaus."

After 1945, on the southern outskirts of the village in the direction of Berstadt, the B 489 new building areas were built on the left and right.

Administrative history from 1806 until today

In the context of mediatization , the old class lords lost their position. With the Rhine Federation Act in 1806, Utphe came to the newly formed Grand Duchy of Hesse , Province of Upper Hesse , in the county of Solms-Laubach . In 1820/21 the offices of the two provinces of Upper Hesse and Starkenburg were dissolved in the Grand Duchy of Hesse . Jurisprudence and administration were separated. The district administrative districts became the new organizational form of the municipalities, in which, however, the rights of the old class lords were partially retained. In 1822 Utphe came to the district of Hungen . Although this existed until 1841, Utphe was incorporated into Hessen in 1837 .

Due to the experiences of the March Revolution in 1848, the grand ducal districts were dissolved and converted into eleven administrative districts, which, however, did not correspond to today's. Utphe now came to the Friedberg district . In May 1852 these administrative districts were dissolved and Utphe was integrated into the Nidda district , which existed until 1874.

In that year the village came to the district of Giessen . On January 1, 1977, in connection with the regional reform in Hesse, the old district of Gießen was dissolved and incorporated into the Lahn-Dill district . This regional reform, which was initiated by the Hessian state government under Prime Minister Albert Osswald , failed due to resistance from the population and in 1979 brought Utphe back to the district of Gießen.

On December 31, 1970, as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the voluntary integration into the nearby small town of Hungen took place. For Utphe, as for all districts of Hungen, a local district with a local advisory board and mayor was set up.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Utphe 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 from 1806 the "Patrimonial Court of the Counts Solms-Laubach" in Utphe was responsible for Utphe. 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. From 1822 the Counts of Solms-Laubach let the Grand Duchy of Hesse exercise their court rights on their behalf. “ Landgericht Laubach ” was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was also responsible for Utphe. The count also waived his right to the second instance, which was exercised by the law firm in Hungen. It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights became final with the “Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848 canceled. On November 1, 1848, Utphe were handed over to the Hungen District Court .

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 in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Hungen Local Court" and allocation to the district of the regional court of Giessen . On June 1, 1934, the Hungen District Court was dissolved and Utphe was assigned to the Nidda District Court .

On January 1, 2012, the district court of Nidda was dissolved in accordance with a resolution of the Hessian state parliament and Utphe 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.
