They also donate half of their goods in the village of Sickels ( desert, 4.5 km northeast of Allendorf ), which are given as 8 Schilling Pfennigs, 1 Malter oats, 4 geese and 4 chickens. Around 1267 a Walter von Nordeck decreed that after the death of his wife the goods at Weitershain should go to the Teutonic Order in Marburg . 1269, possibly 1270, are Hartrad Merenberg to him Walter of Nordeck to feudal property transferred to Odenhausen , Next grove near Norder and Stembel as his property.

In 1489, Arnsburg Monastery sells its property in Weitershain to the Grünberg Antonites .

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Weitershain was located or the administrative units to which it was subject:

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 the “Patrimonial Court of the Barons Nordeck zur Rabenau ” in Londorf was responsible for Weitershain . 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 and city courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. In 1822, the barons of Nordeck zur Rabenau ceded their rights at the Londorf court to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. " Landgericht Grünberg " was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Weitershain from 1822 to 1879.

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 "Amtsgericht Grünberg" and assigned to the district of the regional court of Giessen . On July 1, 1968, the Grünberg District Court was dissolved, and Weitershain was added to the Gießen District Court . With effect from January 1, 1882, Weitershain was assigned to the district court of Homberg an der Ohm . Weitershain came back to the district of the Grünberg court on July 1, 1886.

Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. 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.
