history
.JPG)
Roman time
From around 90 AD, the Wetterau and with it parts of the area around today's Butzbach became part of the Roman province of Germania superior . This was secured against the non-Roman Germania by the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes , which cuts Butzbach in the northwest. The border wall is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The Romans built a located near the present town center during its nearly 200-year rule cohort fort . In the early modern period it was called Hunneburg . It was still clearly visible in the middle of the 17th century and was mistakenly mistaken for a castle belonging to the Hun king Attila . Used as a cheap quarry, its remains above ground were removed over time. In the city's museum there is a clear model of the facility, which was larger than the restored Saalburg im Taunus. In addition to the Hunneburg , a smaller fort was built in the "Degerfeld" during the time of Emperor Trajan . It was supposed to secure trade between the Roman Empire and the areas beyond the Limes. Nothing can be seen of this fort either.
From the beginning of the 2nd century there was a civil settlement (vicus) west of the cohort fort, the name of which has not been passed down. It lay between the two forts and reached considerable proportions.
During attacks by the Chatti and Alamanni in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, the forts were destroyed, but rebuilt again and again. Both forts remained manned until the Limes was abandoned in 260. After that, both the forts and the settlement fell into disrepair.
Historical place names
Historically documented mentions of the place are:
- Botisphades (773)
- Botinesbach (768-778)
- Butisphaden (805-808)
- Buodesbach (821)
- Bvotesfad (10th century)
- Budesbah (second half of the 12th century)
- Putzpach (1500)
middle Ages
The oldest surviving documentary mention of Butzbach as Botisphaden comes from the year 773. In the High Middle Ages it was first owned by the Reichsministerial von Hagen-Münzenberg . With the Munzenberg inheritance of 1255, the place came to the Lords of Hanau , who sold it to the Lords of Falkenstein soon after 1308 . In 1321, Philip IV von Falkenstein -Münzenberg persuaded Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian to give the place Frankfurt city rights . The new city was soon fortified with walls, ramparts and moats. The administration was the responsibility of a council of 14 councilors, which was divided into an older and a younger council.
City rule
The city rulership over Butzbach was inherited or sold several times: from the Falkensteiners to Eppstein and then to Solms-Braunfels and Solms-Lich . In 1478 the Landgraviate of Hesse acquired 1/4 von Butzbach from the Eppsteiners for 40,000 guilders . After that, at the end of the 16th century, the rule was divided into three parts:
- Landgrave Ludwig IV of Hesse-Marburg (1/4)
- the Counts of Solms (together 1/2)
- Philip of Solms,
- Ernst von Solms and
- Eberhard zu Solms-Lich
- Count Christoph zu Stolberg (1/4)
After the death of Count Christoph zu Stolberg, his stake came to Kurmainz in 1581 , who ceded him to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Marburg in 1595 as part of a settlement in 1595 and against payment of 26,000 guilders. In 1629 the Landgraviate acquired another quarter of Solms-Lich and in 1741 the last quarter (now the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt ) of Solms-Braunfels.
Early modern age
In 1578 the city rulers issued a city charter for Butzbach, the content of which was strongly based on the Solms land charter . It was considered a particular law until the end of the 19th century, even when Butzbach belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . It was not until 1 January 1900. entered the same across the whole German Reich current Civil Code in force and broke it off.
With an inheritance division carried out in the House of Hessen-Darmstadt, Butzbach became the residential city of the Hessen-Darmstadt secondary school, Landgraviate Hessen-Butzbach, from 1609 to 1643 . Their regent, Philip III. , the city owes the Landgrave Castle . In the associated pleasure garden he had a planetary fountain with a wide range of setting options for zodiac signs, constellations and seasons. Since Philip III. but died childless, Butzbach fell back to Hessen-Darmstadt after his death. The residential palace was later used as barracks and the pleasure garden was removed. A detailed replica of the pleasure garden has existed in the area of the restored castle for some time.
Philip III obtained part of his fortune from the mining of silver and copper in the Philippseck mine near Butzbach- Münster .
Modern
In the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the successor to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, Butzbach was the seat of the Butzbach office and, after the offices were dissolved from 1821 to 1829, temporarily district town. From 1840 to 2004 the city was the seat of the Butzbach regional and district court . In the 19th century, the towers and gates of the medieval city fortifications were laid down. In the former castle , which was converted into barracks and called " Chevaulegers Barracks" in the middle of the 19th century , the Grand Ducal Hessian military was now stationed, and after the Second World War troops of the US Army .
The Ayers barracks, in which US soldiers were also stationed, was located in the Kirch-Göns district. The "Roman Way Housing", a residential area of the American military with more than 1000 apartments, shops, a school and a hospital, was abandoned by the US Army in October 2007. The area on the former Roman fort village was unused until the end of 2011, since then some of the buildings have been demolished and replaced by single-family houses.
The city of Butzbach hosted the 47th Hessentag from June 1 to 10, 2007 . 1.1 million visitors were counted.
On the occasion of the 220th birthday of Friedrich Ludwig Weidig , the co-editor of the Hessischer Landbote , on February 15, 2011, the city of Butzbach was given the addition of Friedrich-Ludwig-Weidig-Stadt by the then Hessian Interior Minister Boris Rhein .
Incorporations
On December 31, 1970 were part of the municipal reform in Hesse , the previously independent municipalities high-Weisel Nieder-Weisel Ostheim and Pohl Gons voluntarily incorporated . On February 1, 1972, Bodenrod and Philippseck (merger of the communities of Fauerbach vor der Höhe and Münster from December 31, 1970) were added. Griedel, Hausen-Oes, Kirch-Göns and Maibach followed by state law on August 1, 1972. Ebersgöns was the last municipality to join Butzbach on January 1, 1977, also by state law. For the districts of Butzbach, Bodenrod, Ebersgöns, Fauerbach vdH, Griedel, Hausen-Oes, Hoch-Weisel, Kirch-Göns, Maibach, Münster, Nieder-Weisel, Ostheim, Pohl-Göns, and Wiesental, local districts with local advisory boards and local councilors have been established.
religion
Christian communities
The Protestant parish as the largest religious community in the city celebrates its services mainly in the St. Mark's Church, which was built in the 13th century and redesigned around 1500 . In addition, the Protestant community has the Degerfeld house with the Café Kanne youth club and a multifunctional community center that houses the community hall, family center and daycare center. There is also a Roman Catholic Church ( St. Gottfried ) in the city, also with an attached kindergarten. Another church in the Fauerbach district belongs to the parish. The Evangelical and Catholic Churches jointly run the Ecumenical Diakoniestation Butzbach-Münzenberg.
The Evangelical City Mission Butzbach / Nieder-Weisel is based at the castle with its community center . There is also a New Apostolic Church congregation in the city center .
Jewish community
In the Middle Ages, Jewish residents are mentioned for the first time in 1332 . After the persecution during the plague of 1348/49 one hears again from Jews in the city in 1371/72. In 1384 a synagogue (prayer room) was mentioned in Butzbach. The Jewish families lived in particular in Judengasse (later Hirschgasse). Their main source of income was pawnbroking. But one also hears from a Jewish doctor and from Jewish scholars. Nothing is known of any expulsion of the Jews at the end of the Middle Ages, but most Jews left the city in the middle of the 15th century. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Jews lived in the city, who lived mainly from retail trade, but also from handicrafts. In 1622 five to eight families were counted, in 1656 ten families with a rabbi . For reasons unknown, the families either moved from Butzbach again or were expelled. A larger influx did not occur again until the 19th century. Around 1848 there were 27 Jewish residents (five families). Since it was foreseeable that more families would follow, they received approval to found an independent religious community a little later . A prayer room was set up in the town hall in August 1848. In 1868 there were 14 families. Due to the influx from the neighboring villages - increased after the First World War - and the arrival of some so-called Eastern Jews , there were around 40 families. The Jewish fathers mainly earned their living as merchants (including shoe merchants, textile merchants), as cattle traders, regional product traders, butchers, tobacco merchants, as watchmakers or shoemakers.
A synagogue was built on August 20, 1926 in Wetzlarer Strasse. After 1933 some of the Jewish community members (1933: 148 people, i.e. 2.6% of the total population) emigrated due to increasing disenfranchisement and reprisals, many of them to the USA (80 people). During the November pogrom of 1938, not only was the synagogue burned down, but Jewish shops and apartments were also completely devastated and Jewish residents were mistreated. In 1941 and 1942, the last 18 Jewish people from Butzbach were deported to extermination camps and murdered, other former Butzbach Jews were deported from other locations. After 1945 there was no longer a Jewish community in the city.
