history

(Sources below)

prehistory

The first settlements are proven by archaeological finds and barrows in the Bingenheimer Wald for the time of the Michelsberg culture . Bingenheim is located on the Upper German-Raetian Limes . The small fort Lochberg was located south of the village in Roman times .

middle Ages

In 817, Ludwig the Pious gave the monastery of Fulda the small Bingenheim castle near Echzell . Echzell and the castle probably formed a small mark; the number of associated goods is given as about 187. In the course of the following centuries, the abbey created the so-called Fulda mark around this nucleus . Bingenheim Castle remained the property of Fulda, while the Bailiwick of the Fulda Mark was given to secular lords as a fief . Initially, the bailiwick was possibly in the hands of the Counts of Nürings , but came to Volkold I of Malsburg around the middle of the 11th century , who thus became the founder of the Count of Nidda .

Daniel Meisner / Eberhard Kieser : Thesaurus Philopoliticus or Political Treasure Chest (1630) with castle and place Bingenheim.

Between 1015 and around 1025 , Bingenheim is first mentioned in the Codex Eberhardi .

In 1357 the Fulda abbot Heinrich von Kranlucken received permission from Emperor Karl IV to found a town in front of his Bingenheim castle, to fortify it and to hold a market there once a week; later, however, Bingenheim reappears as a village.

Modern times

Witch trials take place in the early modern period . The first victim was a certain Hans Rau from Berstadt in 1652, who fell victim to this witch craze. Court files are still in the Darmstadt State Archives today . A novel by Georg Schäfer takes up this topic using these existing original files. At the 1200th anniversary of the Echzell community in 1982, the play “The Witch of Bingenheim” was premiered with great success under the direction of Gitta von Zittwitz and Ursula Koch.

In the course of administrative reform in Hesse , the community Bingenheim was in the community Echzell on August 1, 1972 by virtue of state law incorporated .

Economy and Infrastructure

The Bingenheim community, an anthroposophical institution with a school for the disabled, has been housed in the former castle from the 17th century since 1950. In 1991 a community center was established.
There is both a Protestant and a New Apostolic Church in the village. Two kindergartens, each with two groups, are available for the young residents, namely the municipal kindergarten Lilliput and the Waldorf kindergarten.
State road 3188 runs through Bingenheim .
In 1877, the industrial mining of basalt began in Bingenheim. Basalt is still mined in a quarry in the southern area. However, old excavation walls in the nearby forests indicate that basalt rock was already being extracted primitively at the time of Roman settlement.
