With around 1100 inhabitants, Wohnbach is the smallest district of the municipality of Wölfersheim in the Wetterau district of Hesse .

Geographical location

Wohnbach is a good two kilometers north of Wölfersheim, the largest district in the municipality of the same name. The 198 meter high windmill head rises south of the village . The Waschbach north of the village drains the area, which slopes slightly to the east, via Berstadt to the Horloff , which flows by around five kilometers away . The municipal area is 891 hectares, 230 hectares of which are forested (status: 1961).

history

Wohnbach was first mentioned on June 12, 771 in the Lorsch Codex in a donation from Morico to the Lorsch Monastery as Wanabach (wanabach - empty brook). The historical local lexicon for Hesse gives the name form Wanebach for 1017 .

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the state government approved the merger of the communities of Wohnbach, Melbach , Södel and Wölfersheim in the Friedberg district into one community with the name of Wölfersheim with effect from December 31, 1970 .

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Wohnbach 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 from 1806 the "Patrimonial Court of the Counts Solms-Laubach" in Wohnbach was responsible for Wohnbach. 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 Wohnbach. 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 November 1, 1848, Wohnbach was transferred to the Hungen District Court .

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 "Hungen Local Court" and allocation to the district of the regional court of Giessen .

On June 1, 1934, the Hungen District Court was dissolved and Wohnbach was assigned to the Friedberg District Court . The superordinate instances in the Federal Republic of Germany are the regional court of Giessen , the higher regional court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on April 9, 1964 by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior.

Blazon : "In the divided shield above in gold a growing, red-tongued and armored blue lion, below in red a silver church."

The coat of arms goes back to a court seal from the 18th century. The upper part of the coat of arms shows with half a lion a detail from the coat of arms of the Counts of Solms. The lower half shows the church as a reference to the medieval church of Wohnbach, which was a St. Gotthard patronage; the attribute of this saint is a church model.
