Wallersdorf is a district of Grebenau in the Vogelsbergkreis in central Hesse .

geography

The cluster village Wallersdorf lies on the Jossa River and is 260 m above sea level. NN. (Hof Schmelz) the lowest-lying community in Gründchen and since December 31, 1971 a district of Grebenau. The district town of Lauterbach is located about 17 km southwest, Alsfeld is 17 km west. Neighboring places along the L3160 are Grebenau, seat of the city administration, 1.5 km in a south-westerly direction and Hatterode , district of Breitenbach am Herzberg , 2 km in a north-easterly direction. Wallersdorf lies directly on the border of the Vogelsbergkreis and the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district .

The highest elevation in the district is the Ochsenkopf (420.6 m above sea level) about 2 km northwest of the town center. The Jossa runs in the village at about 248 m above sea level. NN.

The natural conditions for agricultural cultivation are rather unfavorable. The valley is open to the east to the Fulda valley and is therefore exposed to the harsh northeast winds. The predominantly light soils also do not produce reliably good yields without additional fertilization.

history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1200 under the name "Waldolvesdorf". (HStAM document 26, 2). At that time it was stated in a document (A II Haina, monastery) that ... and his son Brun von Wallersdorf (Waldolvesdorf) at the time of Abbot Heinrich III von Fulda had proven to the abbot, convent and ministerial that their fiefdom was in Wallersdorf (in iamdicta villa) according to the provost's certificate (specialiter) is expressly intended to entertain the provost both on the exit to Friesland and Westphalia and on return, and that no abbot or bailiff may complain otherwise. Schreiber (interfui et scripsi): '....' fried ('...' ofrit) Poledrus.

A few years later (1263) the place was mentioned in a document under the name Waldolwissdorph , when Konrad von Schlitz ceded his ownership of the Christilshausen deserted area to the Cistercian abbey of Haina . In Wallersdorf itself, the Lords of Schlitz, called von Görtz, kept their possessions until the 16th century. There are claims to power and expansion efforts by the Knights of St. John in Waldkappel or Greffenau today Grebenau and the territorial lords of those of Dörnberg. In 1526, Wallersdorf was one of the last places in the old district of Alsfeld to pass from its domain with its own court to the possession of the Landgraviate of Hesse . Bieben, Hof Merlos and Wallersdorf are together also called "Hainische Dorf" (around 1630) and formed the Wallersdorf court, which existed on an equal footing with the Grebenau court and office. The amalgamation of the courts established the granting of Grebenau's town charter (July 10, 1605). As a border town on a branch of the old military road through the "Kurzen Hessen" , Wallersdorf owned a landgrave customs post to which in the 17th century an official signer and an official customs officer belonged to Wallersdorf and Bieben. In the succession of Philips the Magnanimous, the old district of Alsfeld came to Hessen-Marburg and was awarded to Hessen-Darmstadt in 1604 (Marburg succession dispute). The Thirty Years' War caused severe devastation in the border area. However, the abandonment of the Christilshausen settlement in the north of the district, which was mentioned in 1478, is associated with other reasons such as the loss of robber knights, plague epidemics or hunger. The district name Christleith still gives an indication of the place today. In 1866, Hessen-Kassel is annexed by Prussia. Hessen-Darmstadt remains an independent state. The boundary stones in the district still show the course of the border today. The so-called Dreiherrenstein towards the Schlitzer district is striking. In 1833, a geometric survey of the community and corridors by the geometer Günther was completed for the first time. In the 19th century there was significant emigration in Wallersdorf as in the entire region. Between 1831 and 1856, 20 emigrations to America were recorded, with no spouse or children.

The formerly existing church had to be demolished in 1805 because it was dilapidated. From then on the church went to Grebenau. During the Napoleonic Wars, a bell was temporarily stored in the Krug courtyard and was restored to its function when the bakery with a bell tower was built. Another smaller bell was stolen. In the building there was also a public weighing machine; it is located in the center of the village opposite the bus stop and still contains the original bell.

Other historically interesting buildings are the so-called Shepherd's House (poor house of the community), the lawn mill and the Schuchhardtsmühle.

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

"Wallersdorf (L. Bez. Alsfeld) evangel. Branch village; is 3 1 / 4  St. Alsfeld, has 43 houses and 242 residents who are out of six Jews Protestant. Wallersdorf is one of the poor places in the district. "

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Grebenau was re-established on December 31, 1971 through the merger of the previously independent municipality of Eulersdorf, Grebenau, Reimenrod, Schwarz, Udenhausen and Wallersdorf. Grebenau was designated as the seat of the municipal administration.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Wallersdorf 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 for Wallersdorf by the Grebenau office. 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. "Alsfeld Regional Court" was therefore the name of the court of first instance in Alsfeld from 1821 to 1879, today's district court, which was responsible for Wallersdorf.

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 Alsfeld district court and the district was assigned to the district of the regional court Pouring . In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Regional Court of Giessen, the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
