history

Bindsachsen was first mentioned as “officium Benzensasen” on August 11, 1276. In 1324 “Byntzensassen” were written and in 1370 “Bintzensassen”. The place is likely to have originated between 500 and 800. The name suggests that the first Sassen (= settlers) settled on the banks of the Wolfsbach on the rushes .

Barrows have been uncovered nearby. People lived on the Büdinger Mark side long before the village itself existed.

Bindsachsen was a prosperous village until the Thirty Years War . The village became impoverished by the plague and epidemics, and the number of inhabitants fell sharply. In 1655 only eleven families lived in the village. It was not until 1711 that the number of villagers increased again significantly. Between 1828 and 1861, 60 residents immigrated to Brazil and the United States . In the following decades the population stayed at around 500. After the end of the Second World War , the number of inhabitants increased significantly as 90 people were instructed from the Bohemian Forest. In the following decades up to the turn of the millennium, the number of inhabitants climbed to over 900 inhabitants thanks to some new development areas.

On December 31, 1971, Bindsachsen was incorporated into the municipality of Kefenrod.

Buildings

From 1470 to 1480 the church in Bindsachsen received its present appearance. To prevent raids, it is turned into a fortified church and surrounded by a wall. Bindsachsen becomes Protestant around 1540. On September 7, 1796, the church was looted by the Bernhadotte corps and used as a horse stable. The benches were burned. In the years 1812, 1901 and most recently in 1966 the church should be demolished. In the end, it was renovated or repaired every time.
