Wehrshausen is a district of the university town of Marburg an der Lahn in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district in Central Hesse . It has around 700 inhabitants. Wehrshausen includes the Neuhöfe settlement areas (with the 1st German Police Oldtimer Museum ) about 1 km south and Dammühle about 1 km southwest of the town center.

Geographical location

Wehrshausen is located around 3 km west of Marburg on the western slope of the Marburg Ridge in a wooded area. Immediately to the east of the village, the Weinstrasse (Wagenstrasse) ran as a medieval trade route on the ridge .

At around the highest point of the district on the Wehrshäuser Höhe there is a striking red-white-striped BOS radio mast, which is visible from parts of Marburg. From the nearby hiking trails that follow the course of the Wine Route, you have a good view of Marburg.

history

Wehrshausen was first mentioned in a document in 1254 as Wehrstorf . In 1339 the knight Werner Döring donated a chapel, in the place of which the current church was rebuilt in 1475. From 1330 until the Reformation was introduced in the Landgraviate of Hesse in 1526, Wehrshausen was a place of pilgrimage to Mary.

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipal council of Wehrshausen decided to join Marburg in 1972, which took place on July 1, 1974. At that time Wehrshausen had 751 inhabitants.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Wehrshausen 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. In Marburg, the Marburg district was set up for the administration and the Marburg district court was the court of first instance responsible for defense houses. In 1850 the regional court was renamed the Marburg Justice Office. 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 Marburg district court became the royal Prussian district court of Marburg 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 Marburg District Court. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal .

With the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act of 1879, the district court continued to exist under his name. 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.
