Dreckshausen
Dreckshausen , also Drexhausen or Dreckhausen , is a deserted area in Maingau on the district of Klein-Krotzenburg in the municipality of Hainburg in the Offenbach district .
Dreckshausen is a foundation from the Carolingian period (687-814). The place name has the ending auf ‑hausen , which is typical for this time . Like some of its neighboring towns, Dreckshausen owes its foundation to the clearing activities of the Benedictine monastery founded around 830 in the Einhard basilica in Obermühlheim (today Seligenstadt ) in the old Reichswald Dreieich .
The place was mentioned in 1336 as Dreckhusen . The name goes back to the swampy subsoil. Already in 1567 the place is as expected called. At that time there was only one farm belonging to the Seligenstadt monastery. In the turmoil of the Thirty Years War , the place was completely wiped out. In 1648 a shepherd found a miraculous image of Our Lady of Sorrows carved out of wood in a hollow oak , which was probably made by a lay artist in 1620. After miracles that are said to have taken place in connection with the miraculous image, the pilgrimage chapel Liebfrauenheide , a Marian pilgrimage site of the parish of St. Nicholas , stands in his honor . The former Bishop of Mainz Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler also preached there .
