history
Prehistory and early history
A grave find with rich additions of a woman's costume in 1966 provided evidence that people were present at the site as early as the Celtic period (spring La Tène, 4th century BC). The remains of a cremation grave and a completely preserved water or oil jug could be assigned to Roman times.
middle Ages
The oldest documentary mention comes from 884 AD, when Emperor Karl III. the Honau monastery confirmed his property, including the property at Bothalasuuileri . Older research traced the name of the place back to an Alsatian nobleman by the name of Bodal , who donated goods to the Honau monastery as early as the 8th century. Another interpretation of the name refers to the Ansilbe bod as a designation for "swampy water", which aptly characterizes the terrain of the place in a pronounced delta of the Kinzig estuary . With the remainder of the holdings of the Honau monastery, which had already gone under, Bodersweier fell to the Bishop of Strasbourg as part of the districtus Honowe until the 10th century . In 1226 a folk priest and a church dedicated to John the Baptist were mentioned in Bodersweier. The three Strasbourg bishops from the Lichtenberg dynasty who were in office in the 13th and 14th centuries enfeoffed family members with episcopal fiefs . The first feoff with Bodersweier probably took place in 1274. Bodersweier was in the Lichtenberg lordship in the Lichtenau district . In 1335, the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg divided the country. The office of Lichtenau - and thus Bodersweier - fell to Ludwig III. von Lichtenberg , who founded the younger line of the house.
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) was the daughter of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474), one of two heirs with claims to the rule of Lichtenberg . In 1458 she married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480), who had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule. The other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The office of Lichtenau belonged to the part of Hanau-Lichtenberg that the descendants of Philipp and Anna inherited.
Early modern age
Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .
In the Thirty Years' War and the subsequent wars of the 17th and early 18th centuries, the place, like the entire area, suffered from looting, pillage and billeting. Reconstruction got off to a hesitant start because of the ongoing military unrest, and the high levies demanded by the rulers to pay the war debts did the rest. The discontent of the farmers in Hanauerland was expressed in the uprising of the Hanauer farmers in 1725. After the death of the last Hanauer count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, the inheritance - and with it the office of Lichtenau with Bodersweier - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte von Hanau-Lichtenberg , Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) Von Hessen-Darmstadt .
Modern times
With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the office of Lichtenau and Bodersweier were assigned to the newly formed Electorate of Baden in 1803 , while the neighboring Kehl initially fell to France, whereby Bodersweier continued to remain a customs office, which led in particular to an upswing in freight forwarding in the village.
On January 1, 1975, the village was incorporated into Kehl.
Religions
The church patronage of the place originally lay with the abbot of the Honau monastery, from 1398 with the Alt Sankt Peter monastery in Strasbourg. Since the introduction of the Reformation by Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg († 1590) and the appointment of a Protestant pastor around 1559, Bodersweier was almost purely Protestant until the early 19th century. In 1616 Count Johann Reinhard had the first larger church built in the Hanauerland region on the right bank of the Rhine. Today it is the oldest building in town. The best-known clergyman working in the area was Quirinus Moscherosch , local pastor from 1655 until his death in 1675, who became known nationwide through his poems.
Bodersweier was one of the four communities in Hanauerland on the right bank of the Rhine, in which Jewish patrons were settled from the 18th century. The community grew after the transition to Baden in the course of the 19th century. In 1812/13 a simple half-timbered synagogue building was built. The Jewish community center with a ritual women's bath, a mikvah, was built next to it. In 1875 116 Jews lived in the village and made up around 10% of the population. Many Jews moved their place of residence and business to the city of Kehl and to other important trading centers and achieved a considerable economic rise. Joseph Friedrich Bensinger, who was born in Bodersweier, wrote industrial history when he founded a large celluloid factory in Mannheim, where the production of the famous Schildkröt dolls began. In 1925 the Jewish community still numbered 46 people. In the course of the November pogroms in 1938 , the synagogue was devastated and all men were taken into so-called “protective custody” in the Dachau concentration camp. On October 22, 1940, the last 15 Jews in the village were deported from Baden along with around 6,500 fellow believers to the Gurs internment camp in the Pyrenees. Some died there during their stay, 9 people were deported to Auschwitz in 1942 and murdered there. A total of 17 Jews from Bodersweier are considered victims of National Socialist persecution. The former synagogue initially served as a bus garage and sheepfold. The Israelitische Landesgemeinde Südbaden sold the site as business property after it was returned; the desolate building was demolished.
politics
An elected home guarantor had presided over the place since the late Middle Ages . From the 17th century onwards, the baton holder appointed by the rulers stood by the side as a representative of the Rheinbischofsheimer Schultheißen, who was replaced in the 18th century by the "lordly Schultheißen" (colloquial: "Schulz"). In 1812 the official title changed from mayor to vogt , and with the Baden municipal code of 1831, the respective community leader was designated as mayor .

Culture and sights
The center of the half-timbered village Bodersweier has been a listed building as a whole since 1980. All half-timbered house types occurring in Hanauerland are represented in the village . Most of the half-timbered buildings date from the 18th and early 19th centuries.
The town hall was built in 1829 and served as a school house until the school south of the church was available in 1882.
The kitchen corridor house, which was moved from its original location to Feschmattweg at the end of the 1980s, is a unique example among half-timbered houses. It shows how cramped the poorer sections of the population lived in earlier centuries. You enter the so-called house kitchen in the hallway through the outer door. To the left and right are a living room with an alcove for sleeping and a chamber.
The knee- high houses typical of the Hanauerland are particularly common, and are offset on one side, with the longer cantilevered roof often being used as a room for drying maize or tobacco in times of agricultural use. The two-story half-timbered houses in the village originally mostly had a half- hip roof .
Economy and Infrastructure
Companies
In 2018 there are only three full-time agricultural holdings, some of which have been relocated from the interior of the village. The place has a good infrastructure to supply the population.
The manufacturer of hotel cosmetics , ADA Cosmetics International GmbH, the manufacturer of body cosmetics, Carecos GmbH and the manufacturer of lifting platforms and testing technology, Otto Nussbaum GmbH & Co. KG, have their headquarters in Bodersweier.
traffic
The state road 75 leads through Bodersweier. Since the introduction of a new local transport concept, Bodersweier has been connected to the surrounding villages and the city of Kehl by 3 bus routes.
education
In 1967 the primary and secondary school at that time moved into the new building complex with a sports hall on Mühlenweg. 1973 Bodersweier became the seat of the secondary school for the northern villages of Kehl. It was later upgraded to a Werkrealschule, but it was in 2017. Little by little, the kindergarten with the crèche will move into the building. The first toddler school was built in the village area in 1890. In 1976 the kindergarten was given a new building on Querbacher Strasse.
