The Ems rises at the Emserhof and then flows through the village.

history

The place is mentioned for the first time in 1408 in a letter of atonement from the city of Wolfhagen as Breydenbach . It can be assumed, however, that the village is older, because the still standing church tower with its Romanesque shapes could date from the 12th century. The name of the place is derived from Breida (hallway).

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , Breitenbach was incorporated into the municipality of Hoof on December 31, 1971 . This merged on August 1, 1972 with Elgershausen to form the new community of Schauenburg.

From August 22nd to 25th, 2008, Mayor Ursula Gimmler and Mayor Ursula Barkhof invited to the anniversary "600 years of Breitenbach 1408 - 2008".

Jewish Cemetery

According to a report from 1837, there had been a cemetery for the Jewish communities of Hoof-Breitenbach and Elmshagen "since time immemorial". The land was made available to the communities as a burial place by the Lords of Dalwigk . A year later, in 1838, the old cemetery was closed and moved to a new location because a spring was on the property and the graves were filled with water.

The new cemetery with a total area of ​​20.52 acres was laid out in the Breitenbach district, and the property became the property of the Hoof-Breitenbach Jewish community in 1857. The last burial probably took place in 1936 with a teacher who taught at the Israelite elementary school (Jewish school of the community) until 1934. It is not yet known where the old cemetery is located.
