history

The most recent extensive excavations on prehistory and early history along the Lahn in the Rittplatz district have produced larger, 7,500 to 7,000 year old settlement remains of a ceramic band culture.

The submerged village of Dalheim was first mentioned in a document dated December 29, 945. In this document, King Otto I awarded Archbishop Ruotbert von Trier the Abbey of St. Servatius in Maastricht .

Dalheim was located between the city of Wetzlar and Altenberg Monastery , i.e. where today's Dalheim district is located.

The church in Dalheim was dedicated to St. Mark , its two altars to St. Hubert and St. Anna . It was about 15 meters long and 7.5 meters wide. The church had two bells. The larger one was brought to Braunfels under Count Philipp zu Solms-Braunfels during the Reformation of his country. The smaller one came to Steindorf after a contract concluded in 1586 between the House of Solms and the Altenberg monastery . In the 13th and 14th centuries, the nearby villages held their main court at the Dalheim church. Many villages in the area probably belonged to this dish.

The right of patronage to Dalheim was several individuals to collectively. When Pastor Heinrich zu Dalheim died in 1290, the Altenberg monastery confessed that this patronage right belonged to a Wetzlar citizen Heinemann and a certain Herold and Heinrich Berne, called the Dalheim community. Later disputes arose between the monastery and the patrons, which the Wetzlar scholastic Johann von Meyen amicably settled in 1359. In 1499 the right of patronage belonged to canon Eberhard Stummel zu Mainz, alderman Gottfried Stummel zu Friedberg and three brothers named Holzheimer, who ceded it to the Altenberg monastery that year.

Recorded events in the history of Dalheim:

• In 1247 an exchange between the Schmidt Adolph von Waldgirmes and the Altenberg monastery was agreed in Dalheim. This concerned goods in Hustedin and Wandorf, two submerged villages, the former in the Hohensolmsischen and the latter in the Nauborn area.
• In 1255 knight Syfried von Blasbach donated his goods at Dalheim to the Teutonic Order in Marburg.

When and in what manner the village was destroyed is unknown.

In 1834, District Administrator Julius Karl von Sparre acquired the ruins of Dalheim Church and 14 acres of surrounding land.

Construction of the new Dalheim

As the nucleus of today's Dalheim district, the so-called Altenberger Colony was built by the Buderus and Röchling-Buderus plants after the First World War along Altenberger Strasse and rented to the employees employed in these plants. These were currently very progressive row houses with adjoining sheds and attached garden plots. At the end of the 1940s / beginning of the 50s, the larger resettlers' farms Ferber and Carl and the nurseries Bauer and Weiss were built, as well as several apartment buildings near the Dalheim waterworks. The companies Buderus, Leitz and the city added the building area around the Bredow settlement with a kindergarten, playground and sports field, the Eichendorff school and the Austrian settlement , named after the victorious battle of Wetzlar that took place here (Archduke Karl von Österreich against Napoleon's General Jourdan). In the 1960s, the city of Wetzlar planned the large new development area in Dalheim based on a design by Professors March and Maurer. The expansion of the new city district began in 1965.

politics

The Dalheim district discusses and articulates its concerns through the district conference, a counterpart to the local councils in the districts, but without an official character. The district conferences see themselves as an association of active citizens as well as representatives of associations of youth welfare, welfare, associations and churches who take up issues from their district and work for a joint solution.

Infrastructure

Line 16 of the Wetzlar city bus routes goes through Dalheim to the neighboring city districts and the city center. There are a total of eight stops in this borough.

The Dalheim noise protection enclosure is a road tunnel that leads the B 49 through Dalheim. The B 49 and the B 277 can be reached quickly via the Wetzlar-Dalheim junction .
