Wolfskehlen is the northernmost district of Riedstadt in the Groß-Gerau district in southern Hesse .

geography

The Groß-Gerau district of Dornheim adjoins the Wolfskehlener district to the north , the city of Griesheim in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district to the east, the Riedstadt district of Goddelau to the south and Leeheim , also a district of Riedstadt, to the west .

history

middle Ages

In 1002 Wolfskehlen is mentioned in a document with which King Heinrich II granted Bishop Burchard von Worms the rights to the Forehahi Forest . In the following centuries, the place name was reproduced in the following spellings, among others: Wolveskele (1252), Woluiskelen (1312), Wolffkel (1344), Wlffßkellen (1458), Wolskeel (1579) and Wolffskehln (1613).

Two castles were built in the area of ​​the village in the 12th and 13th centuries. The Alt-Wolfskehlen Castle was built by the founder of the Ger (h) ardus von Wolfskehlen family and existed until the middle of the 16th century. The castle New Wolfskehlen built three of his younger sons as Ganerbenburg . It was sold to the Archbishop of Mainz in 1252 and destroyed in 1301.

Barbara von Wolfskehlen (1501–1545) (probably the daughter of Hans von Wolfskehlen, last of his line) whose mother came from the family of the Barons of Gemmingen , married Eberhard von Gemmingen zu Bürg in 1518 , which brought the von Gemmingen family into possession of the patronage right of the church in Wolfskehken and introduced the Reformation there.

The rights of the Wolfskehlen family, as well as other rights that the Lords of Kronberg had here, were bought up by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen in the course of the 14th and 15th centuries and assigned to their office in Dornberg . 1457 married Anna von Katzenelnbogen, daughter of Philip the Elder, Landgrave Heinrich III. of Hessen. With the death of Philip in 1479, the County of Katzenelnbogen - and with it Wolfskehlen - fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse .

Early modern age

When the Landgraviate of Hesse was divided under the heirs of Landgrave Philip I of Hesse in 1567, Wolfskehlen came to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt .

Its first regent, Landgrave Georg I , acquired his remaining rights in Wolfskehlen in 1579 in an exchange deal with Kurmainz . Georg I also arranged for the Landrecht collection of the Upper County of Katzenelnbogen , compiled by his Chancellor, Johann Kleinschmidt , to become legally binding there. She was in Wolfskehlen as a particular law , subsidiary complemented by the Common Law , to the end of the 19th century. It was not until January 1, 1900, when the Civil Code , which was uniformly valid throughout the German Reich , that the old particular law was suspended.

As a result of the Thirty Years' War and the plague , almost all of the inhabitants of Wolfskehlen died. Reconstruction only began in the 18th century.

Modern times

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Wolfskehlen in 1829:

"Wolfskehlen (L. Bez. Dornberg) Lutheran parish village; is 1 1 / 4 hrs from Dornberg between the Rhine and the state stream and consists of 126 homes with 833 inh., except the 2 Kath. 1 and reform., 5 Mennoniten and 34 Jews Lutheran. There is a beautiful church, a very well-equipped industrial school, an important warehouse of shelves of all kinds and peat graves, in which good peat has been cut since 1823. Not uninteresting in the Hainfeld is a hill called the Herrnhölzerberg, which is separated from the so-called forecourt by a ruined ditch. On this hill, which is believed to be Roman (Roman coins have already been found in this field), an annual memorial was previously kept. - The village, as well as the parish set, belonged to Herr von Wolfskehlen, whose castle stood on what is now still called the court. The Cent Erfelden (usually called to the Holengalgen), owned the lords of Wolfskehlen as a fiefdom of the cat's elbow. This family, which in 1368 and 1441 gradually sold their cent jurisdiction and other goods to the Counts of Katzenellenbogen, finally lost themselves completely from the area. The goods and slopes granted by the Cronberg family here were bought by Count Philipp von Katzenellenbogen in 1447, just as Landgrave Georg I exchanged the Mainz rights here and in Stockstadt for his own in Astheim and Dudenhofen in 1579. Before the Reformation, Wolfskehlen had 3 altars, of which only 2 were fortified. In the 30 Years War in 1644 the village was completely burned down. "

In 1869 Wolfskehlen received the first rail connection when the Riedbahn from Darmstadt via Goddelau to Worms was opened. In 1879 Wolfskehlen received a second rail connection when the section from Goddelau to Frankfurt-Goldstein on the Mannheim-Frankfurt am Main railway went into operation. From then on, the structure of the village, which was until then purely agricultural, changed. After the Second World War , the place took in approx. 800 displaced persons and refugees .

Courts and Administration

Official system before 1821

In the Middle Ages and early modern times , the functions of administration and jurisdiction were combined in the " Office " at the lowest level , as was the case in the Dornberg Office, which existed until 1821 and belonged to Wolf's throats.

In 1806 the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt became the Grand Duchy of Hessen . Wolfskehlen was here in the Starkenburg province . In the course of the administrative reform of 1821, the old offices were dissolved, district councils were created for administrative tasks on the lower level and district courts were created for the first instance jurisdiction.

Administration after 1821

The Dornberg district administration was now responsible for the higher-level administration in Wolfskehlen . In 1832 the administrative units in the Grand Duchy were further enlarged and districts were created. As a result, Wolfskehlen came to the Groß-Gerau district. The provinces, the counties and the administrative districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished on July 31, 1848 and replaced by administrative districts, but this was reversed on May 12, 1852. As a result, Wolfskehlen belonged to the Darmstadt administrative district between 1848 and 1852 before the Groß-Gerau district was again responsible for the higher-level administration. The place remained there until today through all further administrative reforms.

In the regional reform in Hesse , Wolfskehlen voluntarily merged with the neighboring community of Goddelau on July 1, 1973 to form the new Goddelau-Wolfskehlen community, before the law merged with the neighboring communities of Crumstadt , Erfelden and Leeheim to form the new community of Riedstadt on January 1, 1977 .

Judicial reforms

In the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt, the judicial system of the two higher authorities was reorganized with an executive order of December 9, 1803. The offices remained the first instance of justice in civil matters . For the Principality of Starkenburg , the “Hofgericht Darmstadt” was set up as a court of second instance for civil matters. In the first instance it was also responsible for civil family law and criminal matters . The higher appeal court in Darmstadt was superordinate to it .

With the administrative reform of 1821, courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were also created at the lowest level, which were independent of the administration. The district court Großgerau was now responsible for Wolfskehlen . With the reform of the Reich judiciary , which took effect on October 1, 1879, it was renamed the “ Groß-Gerau District Court ”.
