Haingrund is a district of the municipality of Lützelbach in the Odenwaldkreis in southern Hesse .
More than three quarters of the district, namely 638 hectares, are forest. Haingrund is an elongated street village in the Steinbach valley with just under 1,000 inhabitants.
history
The history of the settlement has only been researched incompletely. In Roman times there was a small fort of the Odenwald Limes and several watchtowers in the "Windlücke" forest department ; civil settlement has not been proven.
See also separate article: Small fort Windlücke .
From 12./13. In the 19th century there were probably two settlements: on the one hand, "Walderlebach" in the area of today's Unterdorf or further down the valley, probably a branch settlement in neighboring Mainz, Wörth am Main ; on the other hand the Breubergische "Hennegrund" in the area of the upper village. From 1806 Haingrund is the sole official place name of the two settlements that have now grown together. Until 1848 Haingrund was co-administered by the neighboring community of Seckmauern .
From November 22, 1848, the place received its own mayor's office . On February 1, 1971, as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the voluntary amalgamation with Seckmauern to the municipality of Steinbachtal took place , which in turn merged into the municipality of Lützelwiebelsbach on August 1, 1972 , which has been called Lützelbach since July 1, 1973 . For Haingrund, as for every part of the newly created community, a local district was formed with a local advisory board and local councilor .
religion
The Protestant Christians belong to the Seckmauern parish, the Catholic to the Seckmauern parish (Lützelbach parish group). The local Catholic church (Holy Cross, built in 1956) is used twice a month by the Protestant community for church services.
Economy and Infrastructure
Like many Odenwald villages, Haingrund never had greater economic strength; the majority of the population was active in agriculture and forestry, with the narrow valley location creating adverse conditions. For this reason, too, there is still no larger commercial space.
The largest company on site is Tartler Zeltbau AG. In addition to smaller craft and trading companies, Franpack, a major supplier of packaging machines, is also based in Haingrund. Many residents commute to the neighboring industrial locations of Neustadt and Elsenfeld.
The KNG (König NDB ) radio beacon is located in Haingrund .
