history

The church in Allmenrod in 2003

The oldest known written mention of Allmenrod took place in 1133 under the name Almunderoth . The village name is a modification of "Alamunds Rode", which reminds of the first inhabitant who built the first settlement on the site of today's Allmenrod after clearing the forest. The basic word of the name had the meaning "land made arable through clearing". In concrete terms, this means “clearing of the Alamund”. The place name then changed from Alamunderod to Allmenrod. In a document (approx. 1133–1152) from the abbot Heinrich von Hersfeld, he says, “that his servant Dietrich built the church in Almunderot, partly because the church he has since been too remote, partly because there were more residents in this desert area to pull ”. In the certificate, the villages Almunderot, Woffenrot, Willihelmerot, Breinten and Dirlammen are named as belonging to the newly built church . The villages mentioned in Abbot Heinrich's document subsequently perished except for Allmenrod and Dirlammen (Lautertal).

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Allmenrod in 1830:

"Almenrode (L. Bez. Lauterbach) evangel. Branch village; Located in Vogelsberg 1 St. von Lauterbach, belongs to the Baron von Riedesel, has 1 church, 44 houses and 287 inhabitants, who are Protestant except for 1 Catholic. - In a document, which falls between the years 1131 and 1152, the abbot Heinrich von Hersfeld testifies that his servant Dieterich von Almenrode, with the consent of the Archbishop of Mainz, the Archipresbyter and his pastor, as well as with his of the abbot, had permission Church at Almenrode, partly because his previous parish church was too remote for him, partly to draw even more residents into the vicinity of this desert. The parish church that was noticed was without a doubt that of Frischborn, into which the place is now parish again. "

In 1854 the place had 347 inhabitants. In the First World War , Allmenrod was not spared from mobilization , a total of 13 Allmenroders lost their lives in this war. Their names are recorded on the war memorial in the cemetery. In the early 1920s, Allmenrod was given access to the power grid. A central water supply was also installed. The Second World War also claimed its victims. By the end of the war in 1945, 15 Allmenröder were killed in the war. On March 29, 1945, Allmenrod was finally occupied by US troops.

Territorial reform

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Allmenrod was incorporated into the district town of Lauterbach on August 1, 1972 by state law. At the same time it changed with Lauterbach in the newly established Vogelsbergkreis . For Allmenrod, as for the other municipalities incorporated by the regional reform, a local district with a local advisory board and local chief was set up.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Allmenrod was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Desolation

A special feature of Allmenrod are the desert areas that are distributed around today's village. These are 9 (!) Submerged settlements - villages or individual farmsteads - all of which are documented and whose residential areas are largely localized: Woffenrot (Wolfenrod), Breinten (Brenden), Warta, Hohenwarta, Hetzelshausen, Dörkelrod, Eckenrod, Willihelmrot and oaks. Today's field names and names of forest districts are still reminiscent of these submerged settlements: Wolfersberg and Wolfssaal, Brendergrund and Brenderwasser, Wartwiesen, Hetzelshausen forest district, Dörkelberg, Eckenrod, Wilderod and Eichen.

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus from 1806 the "Patrimonial Court of the Barons Riedesel zu Eisenbach" in Engelrod was responsible for Allmenrod. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. For this purpose, the stately " Lauterbach Regional Court " was created, which was now responsible for Allmenrod. It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights were finally abolished with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Lauterbach Local Court" and allocation to the district of the regional court of Giessen .

On January 1, 2005, the Lauterbach District Court was repealed as a full court and became a branch of the Alsfeld District Court . On January 1, 2012, this branch was also closed. Now the superordinate instances are the regional court of Giessen , the higher regional court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

The world wars

1st world war

The order for mobilization for the 1st World War was made on July 31, 1914 by the district office in Lauterbach . Accordingly, the first day of mobilization was August 1, 1914. The imperial war mobilization was announced by the police officer at the time through the local bell.

A total of 13 Allmenröder did not return from the war. The war memorial in the Allmenröder cemetery commemorates them.

The hunger years after the war did not particularly affect Allmenrod due to agriculture. From an economic point of view, inflation had a negative impact.

In the first half of the twenties, however, there were two major improvements for Allmenrod. The village was connected to the power grid and got a central water supply.

Second world war

Unlike in World War I, this time there was no concrete mobilization in Allmenrod. This time there was little sign of patriotic enthusiasm. The war came "through the back door", so to speak.

The village was spared the effects of the war. This time 15 Allmenröder did not return from the war.

American spearheads came to Allmenrod on Holy Week. On Holy Thursday 1945, the last left Wehrmacht soldiers, a medical unit, the village towards Alsfeld . Later two soldiers crossed the village again with a sidecar on the way to Köddingen , because they were supposed to bring reports to a division command post , which at that time was already in the hands of the Americans. They returned to the village and later fell. On Good Friday, the then mayor and two other villagers hung a white flag on the church tower, and on the same day Allmenrod was captured by a pre-command of American troops. The mass of American soldiers came to the village on Easter Day. The occupiers ordered the surrender of all weapons and cameras .

Culture and sights

In 1865 a copper beech was planted in the cemetery , which has since become one of the largest deciduous trees in the Allmenröder district. With this planting, the widow had fulfilled a wish of her husband, who died in the same year, the lordly district forester Theodor Hoffmann. He died at the age of only 51 and left behind his wife ten children, the youngest of whom was not yet a year old.
In 2006 the new village square was inaugurated in the center of the village and given the name "Kurt-Gerbig Platz".

Village coat of arms

Old fire station

The village coat of arms was recreated in 2006 on the occasion of the 875th anniversary. The colors yellow stand for agriculture and green symbolize the forests around Allmenround, from which Allmenrod once lived. The 9 flowers around the edge symbolize the 9 former settlements, the ax symbolizes the clearing of the forest and the Turk's cap lily the bond with today's Vogelsbergkreis , which also has this symbol in the coat of arms.
