Location of the city of Amöneburg in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district

City view from the south-east

Amöneburg [ aˈmøːnəbʊrk ] is a small town in the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf in central Hesse . It is located on the 365 m high Amöneburg mountain with Amöneburg Castle at the summit. The city originally got its name from the nearby river Ohm and from the castle on the top of the former volcano.

geography

location

Amöneburg is located about 16 km east of Marburg on a basalt cone that is visible from afar above the Ohm , a left tributary of the Lahn in the middle of the Amöneburg basin , one of the largest contiguous arable land in Hesse, the only notable elevation of which is the Amöneburg. This basin separates the Amöneburg from the 5 to 7 km distant mountain ranges Burgwald (in the northwest), Oberhessische Schwelle (from north to southeast), Lumda-Plateau (also called Vorderer Vogelsberg ) in the south and the Lahn Mountains in the west. Immediately below Amöneburg is the south-eastern part of the flood retention basin Kirchhain / Ohm to protect the villages downstream on the Ohm . Amöneburg is surrounded by the neighboring communities of Kirchhain in the north, Stadtallendorf in the east, Kirtorf in the south and Ebsdorfergrund in the west.

climate

The annual precipitation is 630 mm. The precipitation is in the lower third of the values recorded in Germany. Lower values are registered at 26% of the measuring stations of the German Weather Service . The driest month is February, the most precipitation falls in May with 1.6 times more than in February. Precipitation varies only minimally and is extremely evenly distributed over the year. Lower seasonal fluctuations are recorded at only 4% of the measuring stations .

Districts

The core city of Amöneburg is divided into the old town (upper town) on the heights of the basalt cone and the younger south-east town on the slope, which extends to the Brücker Mühle on the Ohm . The properties in the old town cover an area of 11.0 hectares and have a circumference of 1450 m. Almost all of them can be walked around on a 1250 m long and 10.7 hectare circular path. The possessions of the Diocese of Fulda with the St. Johann Abbey School , the Johannes Church and the cemetery alone cover around 1.8 hectares of the old town, the area of Amöneburg Castle another 0.42 hectares (4200 m²); the market square, including its surrounding streets and sidewalks, is 0.37 hectares (3700 m²) in size.

Within the Amöneburg district, but about 3 km from the city center, lies the Schloss Plausdorf estate , which was incorporated in 1928 , on the city limits of Kirchhain and close to Stadtallendorf .

In addition to the core city and the deserted areas and farmsteads of the Amöneburg district, four formerly independent villages have belonged to the city since 1971, two of which have similar population figures to the core city (as of June 30, 2010) :

Amöneburg (1517 inhabitants)
Erfurtshausen (602 inhabitants)
Mardorf (1587 inhabitants)
Roßdorf (1332 inhabitants)
Rüdigheim (643 inhabitants).

The district of Rüdigheim is located southeast of the city center in the east of the basin; the districts of Roßdorf, Mardorf and Erfurtshausen extend further south, in the immediate northern vicinity of the Lumda Plateau , on which the 406.8 m high Mardorfer Kuppe is also the highest elevation in the municipality.

Desolation

Magdalenenkapelle in the desert of Lindau

Around Amöneburg are the desert areas of Brück, Brunsfort, Gerende, Heuchelheim , Lindau , Radenhausen and Wanehusen.

Neighboring communities

Neighboring communities are Stadtallendorf in the east, Kirchhain in the north, Marburg in the west, Ebsdorfergrund in the south-west (all in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district ) and Homberg (Ohm) ( Vogelsberg district ) in the south-east.

There is no direct municipal boundary with Marburg. Although the villages of Roßdorf (Amöneburg) and Schröck (Marburg) , which are directly connected via the L 3289 and about 4 km apart, are neighboring villages, this road leads about one kilometer over the edge of the municipality of Ebsdorfergrund.

history

Amöneburg - Excerpt from the Topographia Hassiae by Matthäus Merian the Younger 1655

Amöneburg and the surrounding area in 1694: Copper engraving by the Mainz cartographer Nikolaus Person

Amöneburg around 1850, steel engraving by Henry Winkles

Archaeological finds show that the area was already settled in the younger Stone Age, so u. a. a vessel of the Rössen culture as well as the fragment of a battle ax made of stone and another stone ax, dated around 2000 BC A town settlement ( oppidum ) is assumed in the Celtic period . In 721 Bonifatius founded a monastery cell below Amöneburg Castle , which he expanded in 732 with a church consecrated to the Archangel Michael. The small monastery connected with it was probably immediately imperial and around 1120 was under Archbishop Adalbert I. Mainz's own monastery.

The ruins of the Wenigenburg from the 12th century are located south of Amöneburg .

Since the mid-12th century large parts belonged Hesse to land county Thuringia and from 1247 to Landgraviate Hesse which, until the first half of the 15th century with the Archdiocese of Mainz for supremacy in North and Central Hesse competed. Even after the landgraves had finally triumphed in 1427, Kurmainz remained some possessions as exclaves in Hessian territory. This included the Sprengel Amöneburg.

During the Thirty Years War , the town and castle of Amöneburg were occupied several times. In 1621 Christian von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel conquered the city and the castle. In the following years the defenses were restored and extensive entrenchments were built. The attachment can be seen on the engraving by Matthäus Merian from 1655. On November 6, 1640, the city was conquered by imperial troops. On June 19, 1646, the city was conquered again by Hessian and Swedish troops under General Carl Gustav Wrangel .

At the Brücker Mühle is the stone Ohm bridge, a historically important road crossing. It gained importance through the battle of the Hessians, Hanoverians and Brunswicks against the French in 1762, the battle of the Brücker mill in the Seven Years' War . In the 14-hour fight on September 21, 1762 there were 527 dead and 1,363 injured on both sides, but no winner. A truce was signed a few weeks later.

As a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, Amöneburg was united with the other former Mainz exclaves Fritzlar , Naumburg and Neustadt to form the so-called Principality of Fritzlar and incorporated into the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , whose regent was also made elector . With the annexation of Hessen-Kassel by Prussia in 1866, Amöneburg became Prussian.

At Amöneburg there was a moated castle from the 11th to 12th centuries, Radenhausen Castle .

From 1821 to 1932 Amöneburg was the seat of the judicial office and district court of Amöneburg .

Incorporations

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on December 31, 1971, the previously independent municipalities Erfurtshausen, Mardorf, Roßdorf and Rüdigheim were incorporated into Amöneburg.

Courts since 1821

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen. Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisdiction, the administration was taken over by the districts. The Kirchhain district was responsible for the administration and the Amöneburg Justice Office was the court of first instance for Amöneburg. The Amöneburg Justice Office was an assistant to the Kirchhain Justice Office until 1831 and then an independent justice office. The Supreme Court was the Higher Appeal Court in Kassel . The higher court of Marburg was subordinate to the province of Upper Hesse. It was the second instance for the judicial offices.

After the annexation of the Electorate of Hesse by Prussia, a royal ordinance was issued in June 1867, which reorganized the court system in the areas that belonged to the former Electorate of Hesse. The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance. In the course of this, on September 1, 1867, the previous judicial office was renamed the Kirchhain District Court. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal . In 1867, the Justice Office in Kirchhain became the Royal Prussian District Court in Kirchhain to which the Justice Office in Amöneburg was added. The abolition of the Amöneburg Justice Office was revised and it was continued on January 1, 1868 as the Amöneburg District Court .

Even with the entry into force of the Courts Constitution Act of 1879, the district court with his name remained. On October 1, 1932, the Amöneburg District Court was repealed and its district was assigned to that of the Kirchhain District Court. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Marburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

Buildings

Core city Amöneburg

The rectangular market square was laid out in this form in the 18th century and was fundamentally renovated and restored in accordance with the original model in the years 1990 to 1995 as part of the state program “Simple Urban Renewal”. The so-called Martinsbrunnen is located on it and the historic town hall built in 1690 is adjacent to it. In the immediate vicinity is the Old Brewery, which now houses the Amöneburg Museum and the Amöneburg Nature Conservation Information Center.
The neighboring church is the neo-Gothic basilica of St. John the Baptist . The squat church tower from the 14th century with a baroque dome stands on its north side.
The largely preserved city wall runs around the hilltop; a circular path on the outside offers a good view of the surrounding area (wall path). Two towers of the city wall can still be seen today. The city wall encloses an area of around 12 hectares.
The ruins of Amöneburg Castle have been preserved . Today, you can still see the remains of the keep, several cellars and the spacious Zwinger with its outer towers.
With the "Burghof am Lindauer Tor" and the Wenigenburg , two Burgmannenhöfe have been preserved.
Also worth seeing are the "Mainzer Hof" with its barn and the manor house at Lindauer Tor.
The Evangelical Chapel from 1897 is located near the Hainturm .

Below the core city of Amöneburg

Below the core city of Amöneburg (north of the Amöneburg basalt cone) is the Magdalenenkapelle (Lindaukapelle) on the site of the deserted Lindau. The chapel was built in 1847 in the neo-Gothic style and is still an important destination for pilgrimages on Bonifatiustag. It is also known for the Magdalene Octave that takes place here every year. Directly opposite the Magdalenenkapelle is a sandstone-framed spring fountain - the Waschbach. It is here that Boniface is said to have baptized the first Christians in 721. The Elisabethpfad 2 pilgrim path, which stretches from Eisenach to Marburg, leads past the Magdalenenkapelle.

The Brücker Mill

The historic "Brücker Mühle" is located at the southeastern foot of the Amöneburg basalt cone. In the course of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), the costly "Battle of the Brücker Mill" took place here on September 21, 1762 between troops allied with France and Prussia. In the courtyard of the “Brücker Wirtshaus”, which is directly adjacent to the mill, there is a baroque obelisk , the “Peace Stone”, which was erected to commemorate the peace treaty concluded in the pub. Originally the "Brücker Mühle", a water mill, was used to grind grain. Later it also served as a pumping station for the water supply of the Amöneburg (the pumping station can be visited in the mill). The water mill itself is now used to generate electricity and, to a lesser extent, for grinding. The buildings of the "Brücker Mühle" and the "Brücker Wirthaus" now house an organic shop and an organic restaurant / café.

Mardorf

The fortified church with its tower is worth seeing. In the latter, you can see early Gothic wall paintings from around 1270. The grave of the former Fulda bishop Eduard Schick is located in the chancel of the church. Important objects from his life as well as a vestment from John Paul II can be seen in a showcase in the sacristy building.

Rossdorf

The Catholic parish church is under the patronage of the Birth of Mary and John the Baptist . It was built in 1732 in the Baroque style.

After the battle at the Brücker Mühle in Amöneburg (September 21, 1762), a mass grave of French fallen soldiers was laid on the historic defensive wall that surrounds the church . Since 2014, a bilingual plaque commemorates these dead of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763).

additional

The Landgut Schloss Plausdorf with parts of buildings from the 16th century is located well outside the city center, but on the Amöneburg district since 1928 ; it is privately owned and is not freely accessible.

nature

The Amöneburg nature reserve is the second oldest nature reserve in Hesse and is made accessible by a nature trail. The poor grass flora of the western slope and the slope of the Wenigenburg is of particular importance. Information on this is available from the Nature Conservation Information Center next to the town hall.
The city of Amöneburg, with its Amöneburg geotope, is a member of the Vogelsberg Volcanic Region Geopark (the Amöneburg mountain is an offshoot of the Vogelsberg). Geologically particularly worth seeing are the basalt pillars in the formation of pillars on the east wall of the Amöneburg.
At the foot of the Amöneburg lies the 22 hectare nature reserve Radenhäuser Lache with its small islands and shallow water zones, which are feeding and resting places for many waders when they migrate. A small parking lot on the road to Großseelheim leads to an observation post, from which you have a good view of the fenced-in pool. A herd of Scottish highland cattle takes care of the bank vegetation and the mud.
