history

The "Poart" in Wieseck
Church from the southwest

Wieseck was mentioned in a document for the first time in 775 in the Lorsch Codex before Gießen when it was donated to the Lorsch Monastery as "Wisicheim". The town's landmark is the “Poart”, the only remaining part of a former fortification , which was first mentioned in a document in its current form in 1458. An old loopholes can still be clearly seen on the defense tower , with the help of which the farmers were able to repel plundering armies or other armed groups.

A church in Wieseck was first mentioned in a document in 778, with an abbot Beatus von Honau transferring the church to the monastery in Honau . Today's St. Michael's Church probably stands on the foundations of the sacred building from the 8th century. The stone substructure of its square east tower was built towards the end of the 13th century, the choir vault towards the end of the 15th century.

In 1646 a major fire raged in Wieseck, only three residential buildings remained intact.

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

"Wieseck (L. Bez. Giessen) evangel. Parish village; is located on Wieseck 1 ⁄ 2 St. von Giessen, has 213 houses and 1228 inhabitants, who are Protestant apart from 1 Catholics and 33 Jews. There is 1 church, 2 grinding mills and a rectory is under construction. In the district there are pits that deliver grass peat and large sand pits. The sand is carried out as scattered sand strongly in the area. The Wiesecker Mark, Wisicher marka . occurs in the days of Carl the great. In 1460 the place Wieseck was already exclusively Hessian. "

The Badenburg , an inhabited castle (partly in ruins) with restaurants and bars directly on the Lahn, is located within the boundaries of the Wieseck district of Giessen . Georg Büchner wrote important parts of the Hessischer Landbote here in 1833/34 .

During the Weimar Republic , but also after the Second World War , Wieseck was a stronghold of the workers' parties . Together, the SPD and KPD usually achieved more than 80% of the vote.

Wieseck was incorporated into Gießen in 1939.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Wieseck 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 the "Stadtamt Gießen" was responsible for Wieseck. 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. " Landgericht Gießen " was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Wieseck from 1821 to 1879.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the previous regional and city courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were repealed and replaced by local courts in the same place, as was the case with the higher courts, whose function was now taken over by the newly established regional courts. The districts of the city and regional court of Gießen were merged and now, together with the towns of Allertshausen and Climbach , which previously belonged to the district court of Grünberg , formed the district of the newly created district court of Gießen, which has since been part of the district of the newly established regional court of Gießen . 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 of the District Court of Gießen, the Regional Court of Gießen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice are the last instance.
