history

The three districts of the short-lived municipality of Steigertal (Wünsch-Moos, Zahmen , Heisters ) have numerous historical similarities. The eponymous mountain Steiger between Zahmen and Heisters is already mentioned in the boundary description of the parish of Crainfeld from 1011 as a border point under the name Steigira . Although none of the three localities is named in this document, it can be assumed that they already existed at this point in time.

The place name Windischen Mose can be found in an undated, probably from the 14th century, Fulda certificate . The spelling of the place was often seen as evidence for a settlement of Wends , a Slavic ethnic group.

In a wisdom about the rights of the Riedesel in the Schlechtenwegen court from 1480, the Wynschenmoser walt is mentioned as the boundary point of the court . The Schlechtenwegen court, to which Heisters and Zahmen belonged in addition to Wünsch-Moos, was owned by the Lords of Blankenwald, a sideline of the Lords of Schlitz , until 1338 , and then came to the Lords of Eisenbach as a fiefdom of the Fulda abbots . When the male line died out, the court fell to the Riedesel in 1428. In 1680 the seat of the court was moved from Schlechtenwegen to Altenschlirf .

During a feud between the Riedeseln and the Fulda Abbey in 1467, the Riedeselian dishes Moos and Schlechtenwegen, including the village of Wünsch-Moos, were burned down. The rights of the Blankenau and Neuenberg provosts in the court of Schlechtenwegen, including those in Wünsch-Moos, remained in place until 1525. After the German Peasants' War , however, the Riedesel took advantage of the interim weakness of the prince abbey and withdrew their feudal rule and a considerable part of their property rights without authorization.

During the Thirty Years' War , 26 people died of the plague in Wünsch-Moos in 1629 after it was brought in by the mercenary troops passing through.

The former school house of Wünsch-Moos

The children from Wünsch-Moos first attended the school established in 1540 in the parish of Nieder-Moos . Because of its small number of inhabitants, the village received its own schoolmaster in 1787. The small schoolhouse still preserved today with a classroom measuring only 18 m² was built in 1843. Because of the lower number of children, the Wünsch-Mooser School was closed in 1922. From then on, the local children had to go to school in neighboring Zahmer, until the school there was also closed in 1969 in favor of the new central school in Grebenhain.

As a result of the mediatization at the end of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in 1806, the knighthood of the barons Riedesel zu Eisenbach was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Hesse . Since this year Wünsch-Moos is Hessian and was initially administered as part of the Altenschlirf office. After the new Hessian municipal and district regulations came into force in 1821, Wünsch-Moos initially belonged to the Herbstein district (from 1825 Lauterbach district). In 1848 the village became part of the short-lived Alsfeld administrative district and after its dissolution in 1852 it became part of the Lauterbach district .

The small community never had its own mayor, but from 1821 formed a joint mayor's office with the neighboring communities of Heisters, Zahmen and Steinfurt , from which Steinfurt left again in 1865.

In each of the two world wars , the small village suffered four dead and four missing.

In 1923 Wünsch-Moos was connected to the power grid of the Oberhessen overland plant . It was not until 1957–1958 that the place received a central water supply as the last of today's large municipality Grebenhain. Until then, the water in Wünsch-Moos still had to be drawn from wells, while all neighboring communities had their own water pipes before the First World War . In 1962 the through-road was expanded in connection with the asphalting of the district road .

In the initial phase of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipalities of Wünsch-Moos, Zahmen and Heisters decided to join forces on a voluntary basis and on the basis of the long-standing ties with the mayor's association to form a common municipality. Thus, on February 1, 1971, the municipality of Steigertal was founded. However, the hopes of avoiding affiliation with one of the large municipalities planned as part of the regional reform in this way were not fulfilled. After only one and a half years, on August 1, 1972, due to a law, the municipality of Steigertal was incorporated into the large municipality of Grebenhain and at the same time incorporated into the newly formed Vogelsbergkreis. What has remained, however, is the joint administrative district of the districts of Wünsch-Moos, Zahmen and Heisters.

From 1994 to 1996 a communal sewage treatment plant was built for the districts of Heisters, Metzlos, Metzlos-Gehaag, Wünschmoos and Zahmen. In 1999 all three former districts of Steigertal were included in the Hessian village renewal program , within the framework of which Wünsch-Moos was also funded until 2010. As part of the village renewal, the old bakery was demolished in 2005 with a subsequent new building in the same place, which was inaugurated in 2009.

Territorial history and administration

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

Law

Substantive law

In Wünsch-Moos, the Riedesel's regulations from the 18th century were considered to be particular law . The Common Law applied only to the extent those regulations did not contain provisions. Theoretically, this special right retained its validity even while it belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century, but only individual provisions were used in judicial practice. The particular law was replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly valid throughout the German Empire .

Court constitution 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 " Riedeselsche Patrimonialgericht Altenschlirf" was responsible for Wünsch-Moos from 1806 . 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 courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. "Landgericht Altenschlirf" was therefore from 1821 to 1853 the name of the court of first instance in Altenschlierf, which was responsible for Wünsch-Moos. In 1853 the regional court was moved to Herbstein.

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 the Herbstein Local Court and assigned to the district of the regional court Pouring . From 1943 the Herbstein District Court was only operated as a branch of the Lauterbach District Court before it was finally dissolved in 1968 and added to the Lauterbach District Court area. 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.

Originally Wünsch-Moos belonged to the parish of Crainfeld, founded in 1011. In 1524, however, the parish villages in the area of ​​Riedesel zu Eisenbach were separated from the mother church in Hesse and elevated to the status of an independent parish of Nieder-Moos. In 1528 the Reformation was introduced in the newly founded parish. Until 1945, Wünsch-Moos remained purely Protestant. The small village never had its own church.
