history

Prehistory and early history, Roman times, up to 500 AD

• The first traces can be found in the Ober-Ramstädter district as early as the Neolithic Age (5000–2000 BC). Starting in 1963, six were tumuli at the Ludwig Oak north of Kuhfalltor explored. In 1964 excavations were carried out "Im Goldgrund" (Buchenhof) and the remains of a settlement from the time of the band ceramics (around 2200 BC) were found. Before starting work on the ring road were 1997/98 archeological excavations in Won "Behind the Books / Faulbach", carried out near the "Michaelshof". A piece of ax and a triangular spearhead made of flint from the Neolithic Age were found. Furthermore, the remains of a late Bronze Age settlement with partially well-preserved structures were found. Hundreds of shards, nails and the remains of jugs, including an amphora, were found in the ruins of a Roman villa (200 AD). Furthermore, the remains of a Roman furnace system came to light. This finding is unique, for which there are as yet no known comparative examples. 50 percent of the finds in the excavation area came from the late Bronze Age (1300–800 BC). Almost 50 percent of the finds also date from the Roman Empire (27 BC - 284 AD). For the Odenwald , based on current knowledge, it must be assumed that the Romans found a relatively unpopulated land.

• In 1959, a Roman age cremation grave (150–180 AD) with rich furnishings (15 vessels, including a small glass bottle) was found at Heyerstraße 8 while excavating a building pit. The grave apparently belonged to the Villa rustica discovered in 1970 on the site at Am Schwimmbad 7 and Lichtenbergstrasse 24/26 . In 1967/68 the foundations of a Roman manor ( Villa rustica ) were uncovered in the corridor "Ober der Pfingstweide" . The mass of ceramic material was assigned to the middle of the second to the middle of the third century AD. Around 1787, many foundation walls were broken out here and the stones, which were connected by a good mortar, were used to repair the adjacent Alter Darmstädter Weg . The former location of Villa rustica is now on the premises of the Deutsche Amphibolin-Werke . The southern Hessian area belonged to the Civitas Auderiensium in the province of Germania superior in Roman times .
  

  The Civitas Auderiensium was west of the Limes (red line) and south of the Main
• Around 260, Roman power fell apart. The Bucinobanten , a part of the Alemanni tribe , penetrated the Odenwald around 368 AD and settled the land between the Rhine, Main and Neckar. From 406–443 they shared the land with the Burgundians , who also sat on the right bank of the Rhine across from Worms. After the victory of Clovis I over the Alemanni at the beginning of the 6th century, the area came under Franconian fiscal possession almost completely. This almost closed royal property was divided into brands by the 7th century at the latest.

Middle Ages 500–1500

• The founding of Ober-Ramstadt can mainly be assigned to the Franconian main settlement period from the 5th to the 8th century. This is proven by place-name endings such as -heim, -statt / city, -felden, -brücken, -hausen / husen, -rod, and -weiler / wiler. Ober-Ramstadt probably emerged from two Franconian farmstead groups located around 500 m away from each other . One could have been on the flood-free ridge between Alicestrasse and lower Adlergasse, the other undoubtedly more important settlement was below the Ev. Church. The huge eight meter high wall that surrounds the church and the churchyard suggests an early medieval fortification. Shards and wall finds during excavations prove Carolingian origin around 900 AD.
• In the early Middle Ages, the western part of today's South Hesse belonged to the Upper Rhinegau (Rinahgowe), which was in the Duchy of Franconia and later in the Duchy of West Franconia .
  

  Western Franconia (Francia Occidentalis) and Eastern Franconia (Francia Orientalis) around the year 1000
  The north-western part of the Odenwald was already predominantly in the hands of the empire at the beginning of the 9th century. The surrounding forests belonged to the imperial wild ban Dreieich . From a record from 1338 it is known that one of thirty Wildhuben was maintained in Ober-Ramstadt .
• In 1002 King Heinrich II transferred the county of Bessungen , to which Ober-Ramstadt presumably belonged and which was part of the royal court of Gerau , to the diocese of Worms , then in 1009 to the bishopric of Bamberg and finally on June 21, 1013 to the bishopric of Würzburg . However, the prince-bishops only exercised the superordinate rights. The area around Darmstadt was administered in the early 12th century by the lords of Hagen-Munzenberg and the lords of Dornberg (the Dornbergers were subordinates of the Counts of Henneberg ), they were bailiffs of the bishops of Würzburg . In 1222 the ownership rights of the imperial county Katzenelnbogen (1095–1479) around Darmstadt-Bessungen were confirmed as a Würzburg fiefdom , and in 1257 Diether V. von Katzenelnbogen acquired Dornberg Castle near Groß-Gerau. In 1259, the Bishop of Würzburg awarded the royal court of Gerau to the County of Katzenelnbogen. The Counts of Katzenelnbogen treated their local fiefs as if they were private property; individual feudal pieces were sold, pledged or given to relatives for use. The only thing left for the Hochstift Würzburg as the owner in the legal sense was to approve the unconventional handling of their bailiffs with this church property in formal declarations of consent.
• Around 1260 the brothers Count Diether V and Count Eberhard I shared the county. Diether (older line) receives the lower county Katzenelnbogen with the family castle and Zwingenberg for usufruct . Eberhard (younger line) received the upper county Katzenelnbogen with the castles Auerbach and Dornberg as usufruct. Hohenstein Castle remains common to both and serves as a residence for the younger line from 1260 onwards. In the certificate of the city charter, Ober-Ramstadt is referred to as Ramstat in 1310 . However, people with the addition of Ramstadt appear in Katzenelnbogen documents as early as 1222, and a property in Ober-Ramstadt is mentioned in a partition contract from 1306. This estate belonged to Elisabeth von Nassau, widow of Count Gerhard III. von Eppstein-Braubach , the father-in-law of Eberhard I. von Katzenelnbogen.
• The German King Heinrich VII had granted Count Eberhard I von Katzenelnbogen (son of Diether IV von Katzenelnbogen ) town rights for his village ( oppidum ) Ober-Ramstadt on July 22, 1310 . The count received this privilege for his activity as a counselor and diplomat in the service of three German kings, Rudolf I , Adolf von Nassau (nephew of Eberhard I) and Albrecht I. So he could his property claims in the northwestern Odenwald , which never owned the imperial monasteries Lorsch and Fulda was to expand and defend against the rival territorial lords of the area. Ober-Ramstadt was able to enjoy the same freedoms and rights in everything that our urban community Frankfurt is known to enjoy, according to the document. This included the right to fortify the city and hold a market on Thursdays. Up to the 17th century, the boundary of what was then Ober-Ramstadt was probably formed by the slope below Schafgrabengasse, Haggraben (today's Grabengasse), the churchyard wall and Modau . There were three entrances to the place. What is certain is that the Birckey (n) Central and Regional Court, first mentioned in 1326, or Ramstadt auf dem Berg met at regular intervals to negotiate insults, thefts and other criminal offenses. However, the court was still responsible for numerous places outside the Ramstadt mark. In 1453 it was called the "Regional Court on the Landberg near Ober-Ramstadt" . In 1492 it is described as a central court "at the church under the linden tree " . What is meant is the point where Schafgrabengasse joins Schulstrasse. The main court could also have been held within the church fortifications. Around 1600 the district court was relocated to Lichtenberg. Only in 1319 is a Mark Ober-Ramstadt mentioned, which has been firmly attested in Katzenelnbogen's hand since the 14th century. Its scope can only be inferred; it must have been bounded in the west by the Pfungstädter, in the south by the Rodensteiner, in the east by the Umstädter and in the north by the Dieburger Mark. It is not known whether a weekly market was actually held. From 1538 to 1600 Ober-Ramstadt had at least one "private fair " on Martini (November 11th). The majority of the population continued to live from agriculture, whereby they also had to perform labor services for the count in his fields . Because farms that promised particularly good yields were managed by the count's administration. For 1326 (1403) such a manor above the church (“located behind the churches”) can be proven. The courtyards “in der gruben and the third is called the nider hofe” are also mentioned . Other courts were the Herzog, Rodenberger, Ketzfeder, Eigelmann, Schmarz, Heinz Peter and Culmannshof. Grain was grown; Sheep provided the population with milk, meat and wool. The count's sheep farm of Ober-Ramstadt is mentioned for the first time in 1451 and had z. B. At the end of 1465 there were 704 pieces. There were some craftsmen, as the counts' tax lists show a hundred years later. Incidentally, Ober-Ramstadt is referred to as a village , which suggests that the advantages of city ​​rights / market rights were not used. The death of Count Eberhard I could have contributed to this just a year after the award, and the town charter he sought has never become legally effective. But: The reason is much more to be found, as with the abundance of other such unsuccessful attempts at the beginning of the 14th century, that the maximum number of viable true cities had already been reached. In our case, the cities of Reinheim and Dieburg were too close, and Darmstadt should soon develop into a city as a new administrative center, with a better location in terms of traffic, as a third competitor in legal and factual terms.
• After the death of Eberhard I in 1311 and his third eldest son Gerhard (1293-1312) split (mutated) in 1318 the Counts Berthold III. (youngest son of Eberhard I.) and Eberhard II. (grandson of Eberhard I.) took over the possessions of the Upper County. This mutation (preservation of the entire property with shared use) only took place after the consent of Count Berthold's wife Adelheid von Sayn and Count Eberhard's mother Margarethe von der Mark ; Ober-Ramstadt fell to Berthold III. († 1321) to. He was followed by his son Eberhard III. († 1328) (in the service of King John of Bohemia since 1324 ) and his grandson Eberhard IV, who died in 1354 without heirs. His lordship therefore passed to his great cousin Diether VIII von Katzenelnbogen . As a result, the Upper County of Katzenelnbogen was reunited in 1354.

• Archbishop Heinrich III. In 1342 von Mainz lifted the penalties of suspension and interdict imposed on the pastor of Ober-Ramstadt and his vicar . At Easter 1349 the plague reached the Rhine-Main area from southern Europe. A severe earthquake on October 18, 1356 in the Upper Rhine Graben caused severe damage in many villages in the Upper County; on Schloss Auerbach the keep collapsed. Because of the considerable costs of the reconstruction, Count Diether VIII von Katzenelnbogen had to pass various villages, which he owned between the Rhine, Main and Neckar, in addition to Ober-Ramstadt, to his brother-in-law, the Archbishop of Mainz, Adolf von Nassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein , for 500 in 1384 Pledge guilders (but there is no trace of the exercise of these pledges). In 1368 a benefit exchange took place; Gerhard von Katzenelnbogen (he was not active as a pastor in Nieder-Modau, but had set up a pleban for the performance of his duties ) was given the church in Ober-Ramstadt and Ruprecht von Wetter (pastor in Ober-Ramstadt) received the church in Nieder -Modau. Gerhard von Katzenelnbogen († 1402) was 1,380 provost Speyer.
• Through the marriage (1383) of Anna von Katzenelnbogen and Johann IV. Von Katzenelnbogen (son of Diether VIII), the upper and lower counties were reunited in 1402. The inheritance provisions are expanded to include primogeniture . In 1403, Count Johann IV. Von Katzenelnbogen used Ober-Ramstadt as a pledge to secure the Wittum of his stepmother, Countess Anna von Nassau-Hadamar . In addition, Ober-Ramstadt would have had to deliver 100 pounds of Frankfurt currency (= 2000 Schilling ) and 250 Malter Korn Mainzer Maß as Gülte to Lichtenberg annually to Michaelis (29 September) . Countess Anna died on January 21st, 1404. At the beginning of 1422 the Counts of Katzenelnbogen belonged to the Wetterau Counts Association . In 1449, Count Philipp I von Katzenelnbogen, called the Elder (* 1402; † 1479) , transferred Ober-Ramstadt to his son Philipp the Younger (* 1427; † February 27, 1453 - he was stabbed in Bruges ) so that he could can set up his own household. After the early death of the younger Philipp, Count Philipp the Elder, on the basis of his marriage contract with Anna von Württemberg, committed his wife to an annual pension of 2,400 guilders in Burg and the city of Lichtenberg and other places, including Ober-Ramstadt, for life. In 1457, Count Philipp the Elder pledged a quarter of Ober-Ramstadt to Count Palatine Friedrich I.
• Ober-Ramstadt is one of the older centers. The Zent Oberramstadt spread far beyond the scope of its eponymous market. Probably by the 14th century at the latest, the places formerly belonging to the Mark Umstadt were moved to the left of the Gersprenz to Zent Oberramstadt. The oldest surviving Zentweistum of Ober-Ramstadt was written in the year 1464th The Zentgraf had its seat in Ober-Ramstadt until the third quarter of the 17th century and was then relocated to Reinheim. The last known Count of Ober-Ramstadt was Carl Joseph Dietz in 1798.
• Fiefs in Ober-Ramstadt in the late Middle Ages were the Kämmerer von Worms families , called von Dalberg , Johann von Königstein, Friedrich Kuche (von Dornberg ), Kalb von Reinheim (the family was later a member of the knightly canton of Odenwald ), Mosbach-Lindenfels (the family was later member of the knight canton of Odenwald), von Erligheim , Groschlag zu Dieburg (the family was later a member of the knight canton Odenwald), von Bibra , von Wallbrunn , Heinrich Räuber, Werberg von Lindenfels, a family at the Heidelberg court that was at times very influential in the 15th century , Gayling von Altheim (the family later became a member of the knight canton of Odenwald) and von Ortenberg . At the end of 1452, Peter von Windecken was named as a Reisiger (armed servant). Peter is supposed to live in Oberramstadt and nowhere else, have a horse, armor and crossbow and thus serve the count as a traveling servant.
• The first development outside the old town center near and below the church took place around 1450 in the immediate vicinity of today's Brückengasse. In 1496 there was also the noble (tax-free) estate of the Kottwitz von Aulenbach brothers , who sold it in 1671 to the Grünberg bailiff Nikolaus Martin Drach for 110 florins . His granddaughter Anna Philippine Elisabetha, geb. Fabrice von Westerfeld , married to Karl Erdmann von Bose zu Korschwitz , in 1727 for 1150 florins to the Darmstadt orphanage. The orphanage gave 1737 the court as a hereditary fief of Henrich Christian Roth houses.
• After the death of Count Philipp I von Katzenelnbogen in 1479, the County of Katzenelnbogen fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse , but as early as 1470 the administration of the Upper County was given to Heinrich III. transferred from Hesse , because his father-in-law, Count Philipp I, had granted him this district to secure his inheritance claims. Around 1490, Ober-Ramstadt, along with other neighboring towns, was obliged to bring firewood to Lichtenberg Castle as a slave labor.

Modern times 1500–1800

• From 1500 Ober-Ramstadt belonged to the area of ​​the Upper Rhine Empire . In 1509 the rectory was built. In 1526 Landgrave Philip I ordered the introduction of the Reformation. The Ober-Ramstädter court book was started in 1527. Viticulture was strongly developed in the 16th century (extinguished in 1650).
• After the death of Landgrave Philipp I (known as the Magnanimous) in 1567, the Landgraviate of Hesse was divided into four sublords. His youngest son, Landgrave Georg I , received the southernmost part, from which the Landgraviate Hessen-Darmstadt emerged , which in 1806 became part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse . At the end of 1575, several thousand horsemen marched through Ober-Ramstadt, Count Palatine Johann Kasimir (Palatinate-Simmern) for Prince Heinrich v. Condé had advertised because of the Huguenot War. The Ober-Ramstädter (elementary) school was founded in 1581, Landgrave Georg donated 100 guilders to found the school. In 1586, Nicolaus Haußen's Hofreite (Prälat-Diehl-Straße 1) was acquired and set up as a residential and school building for the chaplain; hence the name Kaplaneihof . The community was perhaps already in 1589 in possession of the forest "Hainböhl", which at that time was completely outside the district of Ober-Ramstadt, in the district of Ober-Modau. The church registers (baptism / wedding / burial) were created in 1607.
• During the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), acts of war and the plague (1634–1636) wiped out a large part of the population, in 1650 we find out about 63 inhabitants. In 1621, Landgrave Ludwig V exchanged his seven fiefs in Ober-Ramstadt, including the sheep farm, for communal forest areas. These were: 1. Großer Hof (1618) with the sheep farm (but without the tithe barn ), 2. Schmarzhof (1582), 3. Rodenberger Hof (1582), 4. Ketzfeders Hof, 5. Culmanns Hof (1582), 6. Herzogshof (1617), 7. Kalben Hof and the Landgräflichen Hof ( Dippelshof ) in the Ober-Traisaer district. After the Battle of Mingolsheim (Bohemian-Palatinate War 1618–1623) in April 1622, Peter Ernst II von Mansfeld began his incursion to Hessen-Darmstadt, which was intended as a punitive expedition. His mercenaries occupy Darmstadt and set up a large camp at Bessungen with around 18,000 infantry and 5,200 horsemen. In May 1622 the "Mansfeld Incursion" occurred. Mercenaries from Count Peter Ernst II von Mansfeld, Elector Friedrich V (Palatinate) and Margrave Georg Friedrich (Baden-Durlach) invaded Ober-Ramstadt and mistreated the residents, some of whom were tortured to death. The looting damage was 7892 ½ Reichstaler . After the defeat of the Swedes in the Battle of Nördlingen in September 1634, the defeated troops brought the plague to our area. The imperial troops who pushed in afterwards murdered, pillaged and plundered in Umstadt, Reinheim, Groß-Bieberau and Ober-Ramstadt. The harvest in 1635 was completely devastated and most of the frightened residents of Ober-Ramstadt fled, abandoning everything, to Lichtenberg or Darmstadt in order to save themselves. But many also died of starvation. During the Hessian War (1645–1648) Darmstadt was occupied on April 7, 1647 by two regiments of the French Marshal Turenne , who demanded 44,000 Reichstaler or quarters. At the order of the centgrave Johann Buch, a bell was removed from the church of Ober-Ramstadt and with others from the surrounding areas to Frankfurt / M on April 21, 1647. convicted. The proceeds from the sale were donated to the French troops. From October 28 to December 9, 1672, Kurbrandenburg, imperial and Lorraine troops marched through the Upper County because of the Dutch War . From November 20 to December 9, they caused considerable damage to the Ober-Ramstädter Church, tore the lead from the church tower and church roof, burned the women's chairs on the church square and smashed a bell that was carried away with other metals. In 1689 the Galgenberg (first mentioned in 1450) was cleared and made usable as arable land. In June 1693, the residents of the area fled to the main area in the direction of Aschaffenburg because of the approaching French troops ( Palatine War of Succession ). In the previous month, these troops had captured and destroyed Heidelberg , advanced on Bergstrasse and once again devastated Auerbach Castle . A fire started by French troops destroyed most of Zwingenberg's houses ; their cavalry penetrated Darmstadt, destroyed some houses and began to tear down the city wall. At the end of the century there was then a strong immigration, mainly from the Vogtland.
• From 1642 the rectory near the church was no longer inhabited, in 1701 it was demolished and rebuilt in 1705, demolished again in 1851 and rebuilt in 1853 with the building that is visible today. 1709 was an extremely severe winter in which many residents, cattle and game perished. A number of families wanted to emigrate to the Carolinian Islands that year . Of course, they did not reach the destination of their journey. Exploited by unscrupulous agents, they returned very poor after a short time. In 1710 an attempt was made to plant vineyards. A hurricane in 1711 caused great damage, including the church. In 1716 the old church was demolished, rebuilt and consecrated in 1718. In 1722, Landgrave Ernst Ludwig acquired the property at Darmstädter Straße 52, the former Wallbrunn'schen Hof. In October of 1723 (migrated Swabian ) 80 people from Ober-Ramstadt and two from Frankenhausen with the aim Langenfeld in Banat from that time southern Hungary. However, as early as 1724 the administration in the Banat passed the imperial decree that no Lutheran families from the empire were allowed to be accepted. The Lutherans who are already in the Banat are to be resettled to Transylvania or wherever their religion is tolerated. Other forms of harassment also make life more difficult for Protestants and induce some to return home. In 1730 a settlement was made between Nieder-Traisa , Ober-Ramstadt and the Landgraviate, whereby the Ober-Traisaer district with the Dippelshof and the associated farmland fell to Nieder-Traisa. On May 18, 1733, clearly noticeable tremors were felt. The Wasenmeisterei was located on the site of today's car park behind the town hall. Paulus Nord (1687–1749) was a Wasenmeister there. In 1785 Johann Peter Becker (1721–1806) was riding forester here (Im Beckersbörnchen, Born = source). In 1794, due to the first coalition war, a military hospital was set up in the town hall, in the schoolhouse (Kaplaneihof), in the inns at the Golden Lion and the White Horse by order of General von Lindt from the Electoral Saxony . The Ober-Ramstädter Bader and surgeon Georg Philipp Carl Büchner (a relative of Georg Büchner ) worked here. The population was called upon to serve in the war.

Recent history, 1800 to the present

• In the 19th century, Ober-Ramstadt increasingly began to transform itself from an agricultural community to an industrial one. In 1806 Ober-Ramstadt had 195 houses. Because of the Napoleonic Wars , there were numerous marches and billeting of troops in Ober-Ramstadt in 1806. A military hospital is set up in the girls' school (Kaplaneihof) at that time in Hechelgasse , Kirchstrasse, (today: Prälat-Diehl-Str. 1 ). Marshal Charles Pierre François Augereau and his staff stayed here from January 27th to 30th in the Gasthaus Zum Goldenen Löwen . Four soldiers from Ober-Ramstadt were killed in the Napoleonic Wars in 1809. After Napoleon's retreat across the Rhine because of the Battle of Leipzig , soldiers of the opposing party moved into Ober-Ramstadt in November 1813. Of the approximately 3,500 soldiers that the young Grand Duchy of Hesse had to provide for this campaign as Napoleon's ally, only just under 10% returned to their families in Hesse. The war debts from this period for Ober-Ramstadt amounted to 6,466 guilders . The community therefore had the community forest "oak" cut down in 1814 in order to offset the debts somewhat by auctioning the logs (mainly fir wood).
• The Schießberg was built from 1816 to 1830, the Bergstrasse, Schulstrasse and Schießbergstrasse as well as the Ackermannsgasse are being built. At that time, the district forester Friedrich Heyer built his house at the entrance to Ammerbachstrasse, later called Walter'sches property, today the Lautz family. The tithe barn (today: Hotel Restaurant Hessischer Hof ) burned down on January 5, 1819. Between 1821 and 1841, 58 people from Ober-Ramstadt emigrated to America. From 1823 the road to Nieder-Ramstadt was built. Significant damage was caused by the flood on November 14th, 1824. The fire register of the community was drawn up in 1827. In 1840 the provincial road from Ober-Ramstadt to Hahn and Lengfeld was built towards Höchst. The street led through the private land between the confluence of Prälat-Diehl-Strasse and Sonngasse, as well as through the property of Eichelmannsmühlen and thus separated the mill with the residential building from the economic buildings . In 1847 a postal expedition ( Thurn-und-Taxis-Post ) was set up in the deer pharmacy - previously this was the inn "Zum Goldenen Löwen" - (Bachgasse 1) , which was relocated to Balthasar Breitwieser's department store (Darmstädter Straße 33) in 1866 and in 1876 was provided with a telegraph line. From July 1864, the mail was delivered by Carriolpost from the Grand Ducal Oberpostamt Darmstadt with passenger transport to here. In 1848 the route of the main connecting road (Provinzialstraße) through the Modautal to Ober-Ramstadt and the Darmstadt business center was rebuilt. It was only through this expansion that the economic upturn became possible. In 1851 the old rectory was torn down. In 1851 and 1861 the cemetery east of the church was extended to Friedhofstraße. In 1871 the area was further enlarged northwards to the entrance to Schulstrasse / Friedhofstrasse.
• On the initiative of Georg Schulz III. the workers' education association was founded in October 1863 . Schulz was the landlord of the Zum Ochsen inn , a local councilor from 1864 and mayor from 1886 to 1892. In November 1866 a bus connection ( horse bus ) was set up on Sundays between Reichelsheim, via Ober-Ramstadt - Eberstadt, to Darmstadt. On January 20, 1869 and in the following days strong tremors were felt, in 1871 there was a strong earthquake. On December 27, 1870, the Darmstadt - Ober-Ramstadt train service was put into operation by the Hessische Ludwigsbahn ( Odenwaldbahn ). The station building was erected in 1870 and enlarged in 1880 and 1895 by adding and adding additional floors. From January 2, 1871, a bus connection (horse-drawn bus) was set up between Gadernheim and the Ober-Ramstadt train station. Three soldiers from Ober-Ramstadt were killed in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 . On October 7, 1873, around 3:36 a.m., there was an earthquake with multiple shocks. In 1874 the senior staff physician Dr. Plagge, grandfather of Major Plagge ( Major Plagge barracks in Darmstadt ), settled here as a general practitioner. He moved into his apartment at the railway foreman Adam Jacob Wiener (Weinhandlung Wiener), Bahnhofstrasse 22. On the night of 9/10. In March 1876 a violent storm caused considerable damage in the woods. From April 1, 1883, a post office with passenger transport to Brandau was set up twice a day from Ober-Ramstadt station. The toddler school was founded in 1886, and the new post office building at Ernst-Ludwig-Straße 9 was built in 1892.

Staderstatt desert

The Staderstatt settlement is mentioned several times in the Katzenelnbogen documents; for the first time in 1287 and thus 23 years before Ober-Ramstadt was granted city rights. In the last document from 1456 income and expenses are recorded. In comparison of the taxes ( tithe ) to the neighboring places Staderstatt could have been a homestead . The location of the desert is not known to this day, all attempts to determine it are speculative. In the late Middle Ages, Staderstatt's tenants were Ludwig Blache (1287), Johann von Larheim (1413) and Richwin von den Erlen (1425) - 1391 Burgmann zu Katzenelnbogen. The family seat was the "Erlenhof", which belonged to Greifenstein Castle . The family died out in 1489.

St. Wendelin Chapel

Before the Reformation, the Ober-Ramstadt pastorei had two altar deficits : the Church of Our Lady in the village and the St. Wendelin chapel at the southern exit of the village on the hill east of the Helgertsmühle (Hellgarthen Mühle) (Helgen = the saints, Helgenhaus = Field chapel). This chapel was built in the 15th century and was demolished during the Reformation (before 1557); Around 1888, the remains of the wall were still visible there, but the parish church was in use until 1716.

Forester's House Iron Hand

The property belongs to Ober-Ramstadt. The name is related to a no longer existing iron signpost, in the form of an outstretched hand, at the fork in the road there. The route was originally the main connection between Darmstadt and Ober-Ramstadt. Around 1789 there was a woodmaker's hut there, in 1828 a tavern, and later a forester's house to this day . In 2013 the property went into private ownership.

Hamlet of Dilshofen

The oldest surviving mention of Dilshofen, as Dieslhoffen , comes from 1338. It originated from a wilderness area of the Dreieich wilderness . 1454 was a Heylle Dyelßhoiffer called a Bede of 6 shillings paid for a garden. At the end of the Thirty Years War the homestead was uninhabited. The western courtyard (Kleinschmidt'scher Hof) of the hamlet Dilshofen belongs to Ober-Ramstadt, the remaining part to Zeilhard, now Reinheim .

Mining history

In the pit " Zur Gnade Gottes ", which lies above the Nieder-Modauer Weg between Ober-Ramstadt and Nieder-Modau and belongs to the district of the "core town", copper ores containing silver were mined and melted on the spot in the smelter.

Coat of arms of the calf of Reinheim

The term “Muotdaha” was first mentioned in the Lorsch Codex in 804 (document 216). Some time later, the names Moda, Muda, Maudava and Modach appear. The terms swamp and water can be read from them. The first documented mention of the village of Ober-Modau comes from around 1360. At that time it was a tenth place of Count Diether VIII von Katzenelnbogen .

There was a castle on the Schlossberg near Nieder-Modau. The last lord of the castle was supposedly Werner Kalb von Reinheim , who was a vassal of Diether VIII von Katzenelnbogen . Kalb, who was temporarily the administrator of Tannenberg Castle , went down in history as a robber baron . The Nieder-Modau Castle was allegedly destroyed in 1382 by brush workers (armed servants) from the cities of Frankfurt, Mainz and Worms and not rebuilt. Their ruin was used as a quarry. Today the former castle walls are still visible (hiking trail Ober-Ramstadt O4).

On July 1, 1971, the municipalities of Ober-Modau and Nieder-Modau merged to form the municipality of Modau .

Waldensians in Rohrbach, Wembach, Hahn

Church in Rohrbach, with the Waldensian motto "Lux lucet in tenebris" (The light shines in the darkness) above the entrance

In 1699, Waldensians from the municipality of Pragela in the Duchy of Piedmont (today's Pragelato , twin town of Ober-Ramstadt) found a new home in the villages of Rohrbach , Wembach and Hahn , after they had to leave their homeland in 1685 after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes because of their Reformed faith .

The Waldensian movement , which dates back to the 12th century and whose followers have been persecuted since that time, joined the Reformation in 1532. They were accepted by the Protestant princes of Germany, as were thousands of other persecuted people, for example the Huguenots . Their settlement, which - in some cases facilitated by privileges - was also wooed, was culturally and economically an enrichment for the German principalities.

After negotiations, Landgrave Ernst Ludwig made a new start possible in 1699 for almost 400 Waldensians from Pragela on his Rohrbach, Wembach and Hahn estates. In the period that followed, a planned new building was built around these landgraves' courtyards, which was carried out particularly consistently in Rohrbach and is still understandable today. Entire inner cities were redesigned for Huguenots at this time, for example in Hanau , Neu-Isenburg , Mannheim or Freudenstadt .

While Wembach and Hahn developed as a settlement along a street, Rohrbach chose the (no longer existing) central estate as the orientation and center of the new village. In the first 30 years after 1699, the regular development with typical half-timbered houses and U-shaped outbuildings behind them arose. The parcels of land were the same size, and all arable land was divided up according to the principles of equality.

The church in Rohrbach, together with a rectory and cemetery, found its place on an elongated open space in the center of the community. Built as a half-timbered church in 1708 for all three colonies, it was replaced by a massive hall in 1767. The interior was kept very simple and complied with the strict regulations of the Reformed teaching. The Wembach Church was built on this model until 1835. Around 1830, several families from the Waldensian colony emigrated to Pennsylvania .

Presumably it was Waldensians who made the potato - which had been cultivated in southern France since the middle of the 17th century - at home in southern Hesse. In Germany the first potatoes are said to have been made during the reign of Ferdinand III. 1647 in Pilgramsreuth (Rehau) , Upper Franconia . In a lucrative sideline impacted many of the Waldensian families stockings, their quality was regionally very appreciated.

Belonging to the Dieburg district

The former independent communities Nieder-Modau, Ober-Modau, Rohrbach, Wembach-Hahn (with Koloniewald) belonged to the Dieburg district and were incorporated into the Darmstadt district on November 1, 1938.

The Catholic parish existed until the Reformation and was first mentioned in a document in 1318. It belonged to the land chapter of Groß-Gerau and to the Archdiaconate of St. Viktor before Mainz (St. Victor outside the walls). From 1912 the regular church service was held in a small hall in the Wiener Gasthaus , Bahnhofstrasse 22. After the Second World War it was re-established by expellees and is now part of the Mainz diocese .

Buildings

Old Town Hall

• The old town hall was built in 1732 on the site of a previous building that had been dismantled from 1580/1621 and served in this function until 1929. The building from 1732 is according to the plans and under the supervision of Pastor Johann Conrad Lichtenberg, the father of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg , built by master mason Johann Franz Blattner. The community borrowed 1000 guilders from the Eberstädter Wiesenmühle for the new building from Ms. Maria Catharina Wiemer. Pastor JC Lichtenberg also contributed 253 guilders to finance the building. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on August 14, 1732 in the Gasthaus Zum Hirsch (Ackermann) . The guard house was built in 1812 to accommodate the fire buckets. When a fire engine was purchased in 1859, the syringe house with hose tower was added below the town hall. The building was used as the town hall until 1929, after which it was used for various purposes and from 1965 was gradually redesigned as the city's museum.

new town hall

• The new town hall stands on the site of a former agricultural property, which also housed the restaurant “Zur Goldenen Traube”. The municipality bought the old building from Peter Rodenhäuser XIV in 1919, had it demolished in 1928 and built the new town hall on it in 1929.

Hammer mill

The hammer mill in Ober-Ramstadt

Petri-Villa in Ober-Ramstadt

• The former hammer mill in the city center is a reminder of the local economic history and the commissioning of the first iron hammer in 1688/89. The hammer mill was one of a total of ten mills in Ober-Ramstadt in the early 17th century. On a narrow island between Hammersbach and Modau the former was Loh- and oil mill , which was in 1629 first mentioned. For the blaze , for the tanning of leather , was oak bark ground. Oil was mostly made from flax seeds or rapeseed . In 1708, on behalf of Landgrave Ernst Ludwig, the property was purchased to build a hammer forge for iron processing . Iron ore mining and processing took place in and around Ober-Ramstadt as early as the 16th century. From 1720 the hammer mill had the monopoly for delivery for the Upper County of Katzenelnbogen , in 1817 the hammer was given up due to lack of pig iron due to unprofitability. The Hammerhofreite consisted of a hammer house with the bellows and hammer driven by the mill wheel , the home of the hammer smith and a coal scrubber. The manorial house (Dornfeldische Haus) with outbuildings belonging to the Hammermühle was opposite at the corner of Darmstädter Strasse 48 and Schafgrabengasse. Master miller Johannes Breitwieser (1768–1838) acquired this court yard and ran a grain and flour business from here (the new Sparkasse building was built on the property in 1966, and since 1998 a vehicle registration office). In 1817, master miller Johann Michael Breitwieser bought the Mühlplatz, tore down the building down to the basement and built a grain mill with a house, barn and stables. A hemp grater was added later to split the hemp stalks for fabric production. Johann Michael Breitwieser died in 1841 and his widow completed the new building. Her coat of arms can still be seen on the Mühlgraben today: a millstone with crossed hammers and the initial MBW = Michael Breitwieser's widow. After 1945 the mill and agricultural business was given up in favor of a glove-making company. After the purchase by the city of Ober-Ramstadt, the contract for the construction of a community center was awarded in 1979 and placed under the responsibility of the Association for Local History ; the inauguration took place in May 1984.

• The Schröbel kitchen furniture factory was once known across Germany. Largest employer in Ober-Ramstadt with up to 500 employees in the best production times. Ludwig Schröbel (1858–1917) built the carpentry shop in Bahnhofstrasse in 1901; before that he ran his carpentry workshop in his parents' house at Schießbergstrasse 23. After the global economic crisis , production peaked with 30,000 kitchens per year. On January 14, 1937, a large fire destroyed the Schröbel furniture factory. In 1939 the company had its own marching band . At the beginning of the 1970s, the kitchen furniture factory could no longer keep up with the zeitgeist and production stopped.
• Former industrial site "Im Ochsenbruch" 1916–1993. In 1916, Max Walbinger founded the “Deutsche Munitionsfabrik Max Walbinger” in “Im Ochsenbruch”. Until 1911, Walbinger was a partner in the "Walbinger, Meuschel & Co. cartridge case factory" in Bischweiler in Alsace. In Ober-Ramstadt, detonators for HE shells for the First World War were first produced in some rented rooms of the Schröbel kitchen furniture factory . He then moved production to the closed comb factory (today Restaurant Goldene Nudel ) at Nieder-Ramstädter Straße 48. This also included the two-story house, Nieder-Ramstädter Straße 52. It was not until 1916 that he established the company “Im Ochsenbruch”, which he owned until 1921 . At that time, a new construction of aircraft wings was tried out there, but it no longer led to production. After the end of the First World War, Walbinger unsuccessfully switched to the manufacture of hunting ammunition and typewriters (Senator), the company went bankrupt in 1921 and was taken over by Tellus AG Frankfurt . Until 1925, Walbinger was the owner of the “Ober-Ramstädter Haarschmuck- und Celluloidwarenfabrik” - Max Walbinger, which he had taken over from Albert März. The factory was located at Nieder-Ramstädter Straße 50 (today the Shell petrol station). In 1922 the Falcon Automobilwerke from Sontheim near Heilbronn took over the factory "Im Ochsenbruch" and produced two types of automobiles there, the CA 6 and the T 6. Inflation and foreign competition made life difficult for the Falcon factories. In 1925, the plant had to file for bankruptcy and production had to stop in 1926. On October 30, 1926, Hans Gustav Röhr founded Röhr Auto AG with financial help from MIAG , whose CEO Hugo Greffenius (1876–1954) was responsible for the financial contribution . In 1927, production of the Röhr 8 began immediately in the closed factory of the Falcon Automobilwerke . The first car rolled off the assembly line in the spring of 1927 as the Röhr 8 type R 8/40 PS. Technically 10 years ahead of its time, the car was an economic failure. With the Great Depression ended in 1930 Hans Gustav Rohrs involvement in Ober-Ramstadt with bankruptcy. With new money from a Swiss financial holding company , production under the company name Neue Röhr-Werke AG could be continued with two types of automobiles, the Röhr 8 and the Röhr Junior, 1931–1935 (approx. 600 employees and 5 company apartments). In 1935 this era of automobile construction in Ober-Ramstadt ended with bankruptcy. Messrs Ernst Noll and Josef Monnard , who had met Röhr as employees, leased the parts of the building from the former repair shop and maintained the service for Röhr vehicles with around 70 people. In 1936 the aircraft and automobile designer Gottlob Espenlaub became interested in using the factory premises. In 1937 Mühlenbau und Industrie Aktiengesellschaft (MIAG) took over the factory premises and a. Cranes, forklifts and industrial trucks . After the occupation of Ober-Ramstadt by the US troops in March 1945, the US military authorities confiscated the company and set up a factory for retreading tires, replacing rubber studs on tank chains and rubber armouring the wheels for tanks. The factory ( tire depot ) was the only factory for the US troops stationed in Europe. In 1953 MIAG, which had only limited space, gave up the Ober-Ramstadt location and relocated production to the main plant in Braunschweig. In 1972, Bühler Holding AG took over MIAG. 1979/1980 the operation was taken out of the responsibility of the US Army and handed over to Mainz Industries Panzerwerke GmbH (MIP for short), later MIP Instandsetzungbetriebe GmbH . In 1983, Bühler Holding AG sold the property to the federal government . The plant was closed in 1993 because of the withdrawal of US troops. The city acquired the site in 2008 and began the following year, after partial demolition, with the construction of residential houses, an underground rain overflow basin, and social and leisure facilities.
• In 1924 Ernst Rodenhäuser III founded a fountain pen factory (ERO) in Alicenstr. 25. In 1958, his son Ernst took over the Reform-Fountain Pen Factory in Nieder-Ramstadt, relocated production there and produced writing implements for another three decades. The other son, Ludwig, continued to run the company in Ober-Ramstadt and produced writing implements under the name RODUR .
• The WEBA plant ( tool and gauge construction ) was founded in 1941 by Georg Martin Breitwieser. He was the son of Georg Breitwieser, the founder of the Breitwieser & Keller precision measuring tool factory (BUKO). Hydraulic parts were manufactured for the Junkers aircraft and engine works in Dessau. After the end of the Second World War, production was discontinued and the plant was placed under the US military administration in trust until 1948. In 1949 the production of sewing machines began. These machines were able to assert themselves right away in the concert of the big competitors Anker , Gritzner , Haid & Neu, Adler , Pfaff and Phönix. Since the late 1950s, the company has been back in the field of manufacturing hydraulic parts, devices and precision parts.

traffic

Ober-Ramstadt is on the B 426 and the state road L 3104 and is connected to Darmstadt, Frankfurt am Main, Erbach and Eberbach by the Odenwaldbahn .

The bus lines O, Mo1 and 678 (late traffic only) connect Ober-Ramstadt with Darmstadt, Modautal, as well as Fischbachtal and Roßdorf. The city bus lines OR1 and OR2 are hourly in the city of Ober-Ramstadt as well as the municipal call taxi "midKom".

A bypass planned in 1953 has passed Ober-Ramstadt in the south since 2001. In the years 2006 to 2008, the through-road was subjected to considerable renovation measures, which are intended to contribute to traffic calming. A third multi-storey car park near the town hall is to be built in further construction measures. There is already a multi-storey car park in the “Zentrum am Rathaus” and in the “Zentrum am alten Markt”.

For some time now there have been plans to create a second bypass in the east of the city. This circumvention is justified with the designation of larger areas for residential construction in the so-called "MIAG site" and of "Eiche-Ost-Ost" until 2015. A citizens' initiative was founded to prevent this route, as it fears that traffic from the Surrounding area could be attracted.

police

The Ober-Ramstadt police station was established on December 6, 1874 and was manned by two gendarmes from the “ Grand Ducal Hessian Gendarmerie Corps ”. It was closed a few years later and reopened on April 1, 1905. Before 1874, all local citizens between the ages of 26 and 48 were required to perform the security guard service . The police were initially in the old town hall and the state gendarmes were supported by local night guards. In 1923 the Gendarmerie House was built at 90 construction street. The community police set up after the war in 1945 existed until 1965 and had a service room in the new town hall. On January 1, 1962, the strength was six police officers. After its nationalization in 1965, the move took place in 1967 to the building of the former boys' school, later cooking school, Darmstädter Strasse 60. In 1971, the fire brigade, police and DRK moved into the newly constructed building in Brückengasse no.2 New construction of the police station at Nieder-Modauer Weg 1 started. Today the office belongs to the police headquarters in South Hesse .
