The place Dirlammen was first mentioned in 1140 under the name Dirlame .

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

"Dirlamen (L. Bez. Lauterbach) evangel. Branch village; Located in Vogelsberg 2 St. von Lauterbach and belongs to the Baron von Riedesel, has 64 houses and 361 inhabitants, who are Protestant except for 1 Kath. In the 12th century the place belonged to the church of Almenrode. "

First settlement and name origin

The place Dirlammen or the extensive area was settled long before it was mentioned in a document. Finds point to a settlement in the Bronze Age. This is attested by the numerous “barrows” that can be found around Dirlammen. In 1922, some of these barrows on the Ziegenrückskopf and the Grabeneck were discovered by Dr. Kunkel from the Upper Hessian Museum in Gießen in the presence of teacher Bayerer from Dirlammen and some workers. In addition to bone remains, two daggers with the remains of wooden scabbards, a robe needle with a club-shaped head and a robe needle made of bronze wire in the manner of a "fibula" were found. These finds indicate that the area was already settled in the Bronze Age (approx. 1800–1100 BC). The graves themselves consist of stone mounds about 1 to 2 m high and 8 to 12 m in diameter. The burial chamber itself is made of thicker boulders or rock slabs. Karl Greb found an indication of an even earlier settlement in May 1966 while plowing his field "Im Dieles". He brought up a broken stone ax. However, all these witnesses to the settlement history of this area are only small fragments of a large mosaic, which give important information about an early settlement, but do not allow a complete file.

Pastor Zinn sees a further indication of settlement in pre-Christian times in the field name "Die Afdahler", which has been preserved to this day. According to this, this name indicates a pagan place of sacrifice ("on the Alah"). Pastor Zinn tries to explain a settlement of the place as early as the earliest settlement period based on the place name:

“The forest-free pastures around Dirlammen had to attract settlers from the earliest times. For these reasons, we have to reject from the outset the assumption of Arnold and Diemers that the place name Dirlammen is the old dative of a personal name, which incidentally is not specified in detail and is documented in its actual occurrence, as improbable and assume an origin of the place name that goes beyond the time when only established places were named after their owners reaches out. The elongated meadow and willow ground in which Dirlammen is located has the name Ohgrund above the village on the general staff map and is likely to have been an original Ahagrund (water ground), a name that goes well with its moist, sometimes swampy nature. Now, however, in Old High German times one also says the lam (“lame”) corresponding to the Latin lama and southern French lamma for marshland and for areas with a lot of water in general. As Sturmfels also assumes, it is very likely that the oldest settlement in this valley was called “ze dir (der) lamen”. By later omitting ze (zu) as usual with such place names and merging the gender word dir (der) with the following thing word to which it belonged, the place name Dirlamen emerged, which later became today's Dirlammen by shortening the a. In fact, Dirlamen (1138–1149, 1277–1280) and Tirlamen (1641) were always written earlier. It was not until 1723 that Dierlammen and Tierlammen were written in the parish registers of Hopfmannfeld. The current form Dirlammen is first found in the church registers mentioned in 1806 and from then on as a regular spelling. " (Pastor Zinn, 1991)

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Dirlammen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus from 1806 the "Patrimonial Court of the Barons Riedesel zu Eisenbach" in Engelrod was responsible for Dirlammen. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. For this purpose, the stately " Lauterbach Regional Court " was created, which was also responsible for Dirlammen. It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights were finally abolished with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848. With effect from September 1, 1854, Dirlammen was separated from the Lauterbach regional court district and added to the Herbstein regional court district .

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Amtsgericht Herbstein" and assigned to the district of the regional court of Giessen . At the same time Dirlammen was transferred to the now Lauterbach District Court .

On January 1, 2005, the Lauterbach District Court was repealed as a full court and became a branch of the Alsfeld District Court . On January 1, 2012, this branch was also closed. Now the superordinate instances are the regional court of Giessen , the higher regional court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

Buildings

Half-timbered church

The current Evangelical Church is built at the lowest point of the village. The foundation stone was laid in 1690 and the tower cock was put on in 1705. It replaced a "dilapidated church" in the churchyard, from which the baptismal font from 1633, two bells and the clockwork that was in service until the turn of the millennium and is now being restored is on display in the church.

The half-timbered church is the oldest surviving building in Dirlammen. With the support of the Riedesel zu Eisenbach, it was built, prepared, equipped and maintained by the residents, mainly in self-help. Almost all Dirlammers were baptized here. The church has been preserved in its original state of construction. Your jewel is the pulpit adorned with the evangelist figures.

Old school

The first Dirlammer schoolmaster whose name is known was Hans Vogt, "inhabitant and forester". He was schoolmaster until 1672. In 1904 the schoolhouse in Dirlammen was demolished and rebuilt as a farmhouse in Hörgenau. For the inauguration of the new school building, a chestnut tree was planted in the school yard in 1906, which has now become a mighty tree. The school was alternately run as a one or two-class school, depending on the number of students. In 1953 the construction of a second classroom in the school garden was even planned, but due to the declining number of pupils they were content with a conversion (group room) and the renovation of the old building, which happened in 1956. During the renovation, the lessons were held in the Seling restaurant hall.

In the 1960s, students in grades 5 to 8 were taught at the central school in Lauterbach. On June 19, 1975, the primary school in Dirlammen was also closed. Since then, pupils in the 1st to 4th school year have been attending the primary school in Engelrod. The last teacher was Ernst Kalbfleisch from 1948 to 1975. The schoolhouse was sold in 1981 as a residential building.
