Geographical location

Wetterfeld is located on the edge of the Hoher Vogelsberg an der Wetter nature park , 2.5 km northwest of Laubach. The Lauter flows into the Wetter in the vicinity . State road 3481 runs through the village .

history

Finds from the Neolithic age suggest a very early settlement. Wetterfeld was first mentioned in a document in the years 802 and 817 respectively in a property register of the Fulda monastery - a Frecholf and his brother Tarolf transferred their possessions in Wetterfeld in the Mark Laubach to the monastery. For 1289 goods belonging to the Wirberg monastery from the donation of Heinrich von Seligenstadt are documented in the municipality . In 1239 Ulrich von Münzenberg pledged the income from his property in Wetterfeld to the mayor of Grünberg . In 1272 the Falkensteiners gave the knight Guntram von Bessingen a fief in the village. Around 1347 a Hermann von Schachheim received a tithe from Wetterfeld as a Falkenstein fief . In 1349, the Marienstift zu Lich bought an annual Gülte from the Bede zu Wetterfeld from Philipp IV. Von Falkenstein-Münzenberg (Solmser Documents 1 No. 283), in 1440 Count Johann von Solms gave the brothers Kraft and Henne (Johann) von Bellersheim the bailiwick to Wetterfeld. Lise von Nordeck , the widow of Henne von Bellersheim, released the residents of Wetterfeld from their oath in 1456 because she had sold the village to the Counts of Solms. In 1573, Bellersheimers are again documented as enfeoffed with the Bailiwick of Wetterfeld, new leanings to them are recorded until 1781. For a long time belonging to the Munzenberg rule , Wetterfeld came to the Counts of Solms and, following the division of Solms, to the Johannische line of the House of Solms and then to the branching line Solms-Laubach .

Due to the dissolution of the monasteries in the course of the Reformation, the Wetterfeld district from then on belonged partly to the Grand Duchy of Hesse and partly to Solms-Laubach - with the resulting border disputes.

The Thirty Years' War also had serious consequences for Wetterfeld . They are comprehensively described in Pastor Hirsch's Wetterfelder Chronik .

Wetterfeld was occupied by US troops on March 29, 1945. On April 10, Wetterfelder, among them Mayor Bernhard Münch, murdered a postal worker who appeared to be an opponent of Nazi rule.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Wetterfeld was incorporated into the city of Laubach on December 31, 1970 on a voluntary basis . For the district of Wetterfeld, as for the other incorporated, formerly independent municipalities of Laubach, a local district with a local advisory board and local head was set up in accordance with the Hessian municipal code.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Wetterfeld 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 landlords and thus the "Patrimonial Court of the Counts Solms-Laubach" in Laubach was responsible for Wetterfeld 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 second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. From 1822 the Counts of Solms-Laubach let the Grand Duchy of Hesse exercise their court rights on their behalf. “ Landgericht Laubach ” was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Wetterfeld. The count also waived his right to the second instance, which was exercised by the law firm in Hungen. It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights became final with the “Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848 canceled.

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 at the same location, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Laubach Local Court" and assigned to the district of the regional court of Giessen . On July 1, 1968, the district court was dissolved, and the municipality of Wetterfeld was added to the district of the district court of Giessen . The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.

Connections to the Arnsburg monastery

Evangelical Church Wetterfeld

In the years 1287 and 1322 respectively, the Wetterfeld goods of a knight Guntram de Olfe and his wife or the knight Johann, son of the knight and Frankfurt lay judge Volrad, are bequeathed to the Arnsburg monastery . In 1359 a Grünberg citizen, called Volpracht von Saase n, sold the Gülte zu Wetterfeld inherited from his father to the Arnsburg monastery and in 1369 a knight Hartmut Huser von Hohenberg Äcker zu Wetterfeld. Seven estates in Wetterfeld are then sold by the Arnsburg monastery to the Antonite monastery Grünberg in 1489 .

Parish and Church

A first church building is mentioned in 1305. The church patronage was exercised by Bellersheim until 1456 , sold to the Counts of Solms-Lich and passed on to the Counts of Solms-Laubach in 1548 . In the 15th century, the Wetterfeld parish, to which Röthges also belonged as a branch , is subordinate to the Archdeaconate of St. Johannis in Mainz . With the change of patronage, the Reformation was also introduced. Michael Gerth is noted as the first Protestant pastor in 1555 ; the congregation joined the Uniate Church . Today's Evangelical Church Wetterfeld consists of two structures, a choir tower from around 1300 and a baroque nave that was built between 1747 and 1749.

economy

The former school is now the village community center of Wetterfeld.

From the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century, around 80 emigrants to America or Australia were recorded, most of them from economic hardship.

In 1890 Wetterfeld becomes a station on the Friedberg – Mücke railway line . Passenger traffic was discontinued on May 31, 1959, and freight traffic was discontinued on December 31, 1997.

At the beginning of the 20th century, water and electricity lines were laid, a dairy , a new school and a new rectory were built. The school closed in 1974.
