Tenth Lauterbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lauterbach cent was a cent in the rule Riedesel .

history

The Lauterbach district was part of a fiefdom that the Lords of Riedesel had received from the Landgraves of Hesse . The feudal lordship and later sovereignty changed with the corresponding inheritance divisions and changes in the landgraviate:

  • Until 1567: Landgraviate of Hesse. After the death of Landgrave Philip I of Hesse , the landgraviate was divided between his four surviving sons from his legitimate first marriage. His second-born son Ludwig IV received
  • from 1567 the Landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg and sovereignty over the Riedesel fiefdom. When Ludwig IV died without a male heir, the Riedesel fiefdom was subject
  • from 1604, after the legacy of Ludwig IV had been divided between his two nephews, the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel and Hesse-Darmstadt , Hesse-Darmstadt and ultimately remained there even after decades of dispute over the inheritance.

In addition to the Zent, ​​there were other administrative structures. The municipalities of the Zent also each belonged to an office , a parallel level of administration between the municipalities and the state rulership . There was also an office in Lauterbach , but it was much smaller in size than the tithe.

With the dissolution of the Old Kingdom and joining the Rhine Confederation in 1806, the Grand Duchy of Hesse received state sovereignty over the entire Riedesel region and incorporated it into its Principality of Upper Hesse (from 1816: Province of Upper Hesse ) The sovereign rights of the Lords of Riedesel initially remained. The state only succeeded with difficulty in fully integrating the Lauterbach center into its own structure. However, that happened through the offices. The relevant decrees only speak of the offices, no longer of the Lauterbach center .

Components

The following places belonged to the Lauterbach center :

The town of Lauterbach and the village of Wernges did not belong to the Hessian fief. Lauterbach was a fiefdom of the Fulda bishopric , Wernges an allod .

Law

In the area of ​​the Lauterbach center , the Riedesel'sche ordinances were considered to be particular law, which superimposed the common law here . Since there was never a legal standardization in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, this situation was only replaced on January 1, 1900 by the Civil Code , which was uniformly applicable throughout the German Empire .
