history
Castle, office and city of Battenberg
People already settled on the Eisenberg in the Celtic times . A branch of the dynasty of the Counts of Battenberg and von Wittgenstein (based at Wittgenstein Castle ) ruled the County of Battenberg from 1214 . Battenberg was first mentioned in writing in 1226 and named as a town eight years later (1234). In the early years of the 13th century, the cellar castle was built during the rule of Count Werner I von Battenberg and Wittgenstein or his son Widekind I (Widukind) , and the counts moved their residence from the old Battenberg castle to the cellar castle . In 1238 the counties of Battenberg and Wittgenstein were divided among the grandsons of Count Werner I : Widekind II received the Battenberg estates and Siegfried I received Wittgenstein Castle and the town of Laasphe . In 1291, Count Hermann II († 1314) von Battenberg, son of Widekind II, was forced by political pressure to sell parts of his county to the Archbishopric of Mainz: Castle and town of Battenberg and the courts of Laisa, Battenfeld and Münchhausen went into Mainz ownership over. The city and county of Battenberg (officially called "Grafschaft Stiffe") became the property of the Archbishops of Mainz in 1291 half and in 1296 completely .
In 1464, the Battenberg Office, which was formed from it, came to the Landgraviate of Hesse as pledge in the course of the Mainz collegiate feud , before it was completely assigned to Hesse-Marburg after the Merlau Treaty around 1583 . As a result of the extinction of the Marburg line , it came to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel in 1604 and in 1624 as part of the so-called "Hinterland" to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt . From 1821 to 1832 the city was the seat of the administration of the "Landratsbezirks" Battenberg, until it was incorporated into the newly created Biedenkopf district in 1832 .
The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Battenberg in 1830:
“Battenberg (L. Bez. Gl. N.) city; is 11 hours north of Giessen on a hill, at the foot of which the Eder flows. 1456 Hess. (1120 Par.) Feet above the sea, has 144 houses and 954 inhabitants, who are Protestant except for 64 Jews. Battenberg, which is partly still surrounded by walls, is the seat of the district councilor, the rent office and the forest inspector, and there is 1 church, 1 town hall, 1 iron hammer, known as the Auhammer, 1 post office and in the area there are cracks of red sandstones. On the Eisenberg lie the ruins of Battenberg Castle, which in 1464 was still in good condition and the seat of the official; 1 ⁄ 4 St. from the city is 1832 Hess. (1409 par.) Feet above the surface of the sea, the Battenberger Warte, consisting of a round tower. 7 markets are held annually. - The area first became known in 778 through the defeat of the Saxons. The descendants of the Counts of Hohenlinden have been appearing since the last half of the 12th century, now under the name Count von Wittgenstein, now under the Count: von Battenberg. These counts not only owned the castles after which they were named, but they also made claims to the jurisdiction of other castles in the vicinity that belonged to the landgraves. In 1228 half of the castles of Battenberg and Kellerberg, the town of Battenberg, etc. between them came to the Archbishop Siegfried of Mainz for 600 marks. However, the matter was not carried out until 1238. In the case of the division, which was held in 1291 between Count Hermann von Battenberg and the ore monastery of Mainz, the Kellerberg castle, along with the courts in Allendorf, Rödenau and Bromskirchen, received the castle and town of Battenberg, along with the courts in Leisa and Battenfeld. A few years later, in 1297, the same Hermann sold the Kellerberg Castle and its accessories to the Mainz ore monastery for 2000 marks. Archbishop Heinrich von Mainz sold the town and castle of Battenberg to Count Otto von Waldeck in 1304, on repurchase, which also took place in 1464 when Archbishop Adolph von Mainz gave Battenberg to Landgrave Heinrich III. was offset by 30,000 fl . "
In 1866 Battenberg was annexed with the entire hinterland of Prussia. In 1932 Battenberg became part of the Frankenberg district . In the course of the Hessian administrative reform of 1974, the districts of Frankenberg and Waldeck were merged to form the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg .
The Battenberg / Mountbatten house
In 1851 Countess Julia Hauke , the morganatic wife of Prince Alexander of Hesse and by the Rhine , was given the grand-ducal Hessian prince status with von Battenberg , which should also extend to their common descendants. The couple thus became the founders of the noble family Battenberg / Mountbatten . Princess Victoria Eugénie von Battenberg was from 1906 to 1931 through her marriage to King Alfonso XIII. Queen of Spain. The family members living in Great Britain adopted the translated name "Mountbatten" from 1917 onwards due to the increasing hostility towards Germans during the First World War . This is now the family name of the Marquesses of Milford Haven , and he lives on in the title of Earls Mountbatten of Burma . The descendants of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip Mountbatten bear the family name Mountbatten-Windsor .
Territorial reform
On December 31, 1970, was in the course of administrative reform in Hesse until then independent municipality Berghofen voluntarily incorporated . On February 1, 1971, the communities of Dodenau and Laisa were added. Frohnhausen and Oberasphe followed on January 1, 1974 by virtue of state law. For all formerly independent communities and the core community, local districts with local advisory councils and local councilors were set up.
When in 1974 the districts of Frankenberg and Waldeck were combined to form the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg and the districts of Biedenkopf and Marburg to form the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf, Oberasphe became a district of Battenberg in the first-mentioned greater district on January 1, 1974, initially by state law. After violent protests by the population, however, six months later, on July 1, 1974, by virtue of state law, the town was incorporated into the large community of Münchhausen in the neighboring district of Marburg-Biedenkopf.
Outsourcing
On July 1, 1974, the Oberasphe district was ceded to the neighboring community of Münchhausen.

mayor
After three legislative terms (18 years), Heinfried Horsel (non-party) decided not to run again. As his successor, Christian Klein, the son of the former District President Lutz Klein , was elected mayor on May 25, 2014 with 68.9% of the votes cast in the first ballot and took office on August 1, 2014.
coat of arms
Blazon : "Shield split by black and silver."
The coat of arms of the city could be one of the oldest coats of arms in Hesse. This can be assumed because Battenberg was already fully owned by the Archdiocese of Mainz as early as 1291 (half of it from 1238) and the colors, if the coat of arms had only been introduced at this time, would have been characterized by the colors red and white. It is therefore very likely that it dates back to the time of the Counts of Battenberg around the 12th century, i.e. from the prehistoric times of the coats of arms, when they were simple identification aids to make friends and foes easier on the battlefield due to the emerging armor to be able to distinguish. This derivation is supported by the simplicity of the design of the Battenberg coat of arms, since at that time not every city had a coat of arms and these therefore had to become more and more complicated in their development history in order to still differ from the existing ones.
Town twinning
City partnerships with:
Sponsorship
In the upper Edertal, especially in Battenberg (Eder), many expellees found a new home after the Second World War. This was the decisive factor that Battenberg took over the sponsorship for the city of Obergeorgenthal in 1951 and the sponsorship for the city of Oberleutensdorf in the Sudetenland in 1982.
- Horní Jiřetín (Obergeorgenthal), Czech Republic, since 1951
- Litvínov (Oberleutensdorf), Czech Republic, since 1982
links
The connection to the Dutch town of Loon op Zand / Netherlands comes from the friendship between the fire brigade there and the volunteer fire brigade from the Battenberg district of Dodenau, which has existed since 1962.

The Neuburg , built in 1732 as a hunting lodge for the landgraves, has been the seat of the city administration since 1971.
Keep
The conical castle hill lies in the middle of the city. The restored keep of the former cellar castle serves as a lookout tower and is open to visitors from April to October. It offers a good view of the entire Ederbergland . Remnants of the surrounding wall and moat from the 13th century are still partially visible.
Burgberg tunnel
A visitor mine was opened in 2000 . With protective clothing and a miner's lamp , the more than 150 year old tunnels and shafts can be visited under the guidance of experienced guides. The working conditions of the miners underground are clearly shown.
As early as 1839 Christian Frank from Hatzfeld received permission to dig for Braunstein in the mountain . Around 1850, the Rennertehaus merchant Benedikt Blumenthal drove a tunnel into the hard silica slate on the slope of the mountain in order to extract brown stone. After his death in 1863, the mining rights were given to the Burgberg trade union in Siegen. From 1893 the tunnel system was extensively expanded; you put dynamite and for the removal Loren one. After 1900 the manganese ore mining was stopped. During the Second World War , the tunnel system was used as an air raid shelter .
