Wernges is a district of the town of Lauterbach in the Vogelsberg district in central Hesse with around 200 inhabitants.

history

The oldest surviving mention of the place comes from 1322.

The place belonged to the rule Riedesel . Here the Riedesel'schen ordinances 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 .

On July 1, 1971, the municipality Wernges was in the course of administrative reform in Hesse on a voluntary basis in the county seat Lauterbach incorporated . For Wernges, as for the other municipalities incorporated by the regional reform, a local district with a local advisory council and local councilor was set up.

The mayor is Thomas Bernges (as of August 2016) .
