Damshausen is the smallest district of the municipality Dautphetal in Central Hesse the Marburg-Biedenkopf .

geography

The place is located about twelve kilometers northwest of Marburg .

Damshausen is located in the Damshauser Kuppen natural area in the main Gladenbacher Bergland unit at an altitude of around 318 m above sea level. Southwest of the Rimberg is the place in the valley head of the Damsbach, which flows into Ohe, Allna and this finally into the Lahn . This makes these bodies of water the only ones in the municipality whose water flows into the central Lahn, between Marburg and Wetzlar . The village itself has a closed development with an irregular floor plan and courtyards of different sizes ( Haufendorf ).

history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1251 under the name de Tagesmanneshusen .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Damshausen in 1830:

"Dammshausen (L. Bez. Gladenbach) evangel. Branch village; is 1 St. from Gladenbach, has 1 church, 27 houses and 193 Protestant residents. - The place was formerly called Demesshusen , and in the 15th century belonged to the Dautpher church area. Copper ore was mined here in 1731. "

The old road from Laasphe to Marburg ran through Damshausen, and the old road from Wetzlar via Gladenbach to Wetter ran east past Damshausen.

On the Rimberg in 1974, on the boundary between Damshausen and Caldern, the remains of a circular rampart with an area of ​​approximately 160 m × 130 m were found. These are said to date from the late Hallstatt period to the La Tène period .

Territorial reform

On July 1, 1974, Damshausen was merged with 11 other municipalities by means of state law to form the new large municipality of Dautphetal as part of the regional reform in Hesse . Local districts were set up for all formerly independent municipalities .
