history

Protestant church

The oldest known written mention of Wilsbach took place in 1285 under the name Wilrispach . The place is also mentioned in 3143/47 as Welrspach , 1403 as Willerspach and 1548 as Wilssbach . In the 19th century the name Wilsbach appears next to the Hankelsburg .

A church was built in 1569 and Wilsbach received its own pastor. From then on, the place belonged to the parishes of Erda (1577-1813), Niederweidbach (1813-1827) and Königsberg (1827-1838). Wilsbach has been an independent parish since 1838. The rectory was built in 1842 and has also housed the village school since 1858.

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

"Wilsbach (L. Bez. Gladenbach) evangel. Branch village; is 2 St. from Gladenbach, has 54 houses and 348 inhabitants, who are Protestant apart from 4 Jews, and is a poor place. - In older times there is a Gau Erdahe , Erdehe , which took its name from the Bache Erda, and made up a Untergau of the Niederlahngau. Of the many places that are named from this Gau, most of them no longer exist. But a Giselbrechtehusen , whose slightly changed name, Gilbertshausen, still persists, lay between Wilsbach and Frankenbach. Wilsbach came exclusively to Hesse through the main settlement of October 30, 1629. "

Territorial reform

As part of the municipal reform in Hesse on July 1, 1974, the municipalities Bischoffen were Niederweidbach , Oberweidbach and Wilsbach powerful state law to the new greater community Bischoffen together . On April 1, 1972, the Roßbach community was incorporated into the Niederweidbach community. Due to its geographical location and economic orientation, the municipality of Bischoffen was also assigned to the Wetzlar district on July 1, 1974, and with this it was transferred to the Lahn-Dill district on January 1, 1977. Local districts were established for all formerly independent communities .

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Wilsbach 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 "Koenigsberg Office" was responsible for Wilsbach. 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. " District Court Gladenbach " was therefore from 1821 to 1866 the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Wilsbach.

After the Biedenkopf district was ceded to Prussia as a result of the peace treaty of September 3, 1866 between the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Kingdom of Prussia , the district of Gladenbach became Prussian. In June 1867 a royal decree was issued that reorganized the court system in the former Duchy of Nassau and the parts of the area that had previously belonged to the Grand Duchy 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 regional court was renamed the Gladenbach District Court. The courts of the higher instances were the District Court of Dillenburg and the Court of Appeal in Wiesbaden . Due to the Courts Constitution Act of 1877, the district court changed to the district of the newly established Marburg Regional Court with effect from October 1, 1879 .

From October 1, 1944 to January 1, 1949, the Gladenbach District Court belonged to the Limburg District Court , but then again to the Marburg District Court . On July 1, 1968, the Gladenbach District Court was repealed, which from then on only served as a branch of the Biedenkopf District Court . On November 1, 2003, this branch was finally closed. With the move from Wilsbach in 1974 to the Wetzlar district, the area was also assigned to the Wetzlar district court . The higher-level instances are now the Limburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.
