Dreieichenhain is the second largest district of Dreieich in the Offenbach district in southern Hesse with around 8,000 inhabitants .

Geographical location

Dreieichenhain lies in the continuous settlement axis that connects four Dreieich districts, namely Buchschlag , Sprendlingen , Dreieichenhain and Götzenhain , along the Hengstbach in a north-west-south-east direction . The Hengstbach flows to the northwest and leads to Mitteldick the name Hengstbach, then it changes its name to Gundbach and finally flows as Schwarzbach south of the Mainspitze near Ginsheim-Gustavsburg into the Old Rhine. Dreieichenhain is the only district that, starting from the old town, castle and castle pond, has developed mainly on the left, southern side of the Hengstbach.

The 50th parallel runs through the Fahrgasse in Dreieichenhain's old town , based on the current geodetic reference system WGS84 and thus around 150 meters north of the location according to the old Potsdam date of 1904. The old location can be seen from the section of the topographic maps. On the section of the sheet you can see the train station and, to the west of the railway line, the intersection of the street Am Breitengrad with Waldstraße .

Dreieichenhain borders on Sprendlingen in the north-west and north, Götzenhain in the east and the city of Langen in the south and south-west .

The district is 580 hectares, based on the population, relatively small and occupies the center and the southwest of the urban area. On the border to the neighboring town of Langen to the south, 19 hectares are forested (as of 1961). Here, in the Hainer Wald , lies the highest point in the district at 183 meters. The Asklepios Klinik Langen , the former district hospital, is located right behind the Hainer Wald , so that the outskirts of Langen are up to around 600 meters from Dreieichenhain.

history

Hayn Castle (castle ruins in Dreieichenhain)

The name Dreieichenhain goes back to a wild forest , the Wildbann Dreieich , which was first mentioned in the 9th century. This was an area in which only the emperor had hunting rights. The district of this Wildbanns Dreieich extended along the Lower Main from Aschaffenburg to Rüsselsheim am Main and from Bad Vilbel to Neunkircher Höhe in the Odenwald . The oak trees in the coat of arms of many communities in this area refer to this origin.

In the Dreieichenhain area, there was a simple hunting lodge as early as the 9th century, which was expanded into a royal hunting lodge of stone buildings with a protective moat around 950. This hunting lodge was inhabited by the emperors and kings with their companions as long as they stayed here to hunt. The Hengstbach Valley to the Great Karl have so much that he decided to build his cabin here. According to legend, Karl's fourth wife Fastrada is said to have owned a magic ring and sunk it here in the castle pond. The emperor is said to have been magically tied to this hunting lodge in the grove and made it his favorite hunting spot. The early dating to the 9th and 10th centuries is now disputed in scientific research.

In the 11th century, a tower castle , a predecessor of Hayn Castle , was built, from which the Lords of Hagen , later Hagen-Münzenberg (1075–1255), administered the imperial wild forest of Dreieich . The settlement that arose next to the castle, today's Dreieichenhain, developed into the center of the Dreieich wilderness forest and was first mentioned as a town on September 23, 1256 ( cives in hagen = Latin: citizens in Hagen ). In 1956 the 700th anniversary and in 2006 the 750th anniversary of the city of Dreieichenhain were celebrated.

The Falkensteiner that the land of the coins Bergern inherited, died out in 1418 and the Counts of Isenburg acquired with time control of Dreieichenhain. In 1549 the Reformation was introduced in the place. 1815 was the Principality of Isenburg by the Congress of Vienna mediated . As a result, the Isenburg-Birstein Oberamt Offenbach with Dreieichenhain fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse (Hessen-Darmstadt) in 1816 . The place name grove in Dreieich was in 1840 Dreieichenhain renamed. In 1834 the city had 998 and when it was amalgamated to the city of Dreieich on January 1, 1977 approx.

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on January 1, 1977, the law on the reorganization of the Offenbach district merged the cities of Dreieichenhain and Sprendlingen and the communities of Buchschlag, Götzenhain and Offenthal to form a city with the name Dreieich . Local districts for the city districts were not established.

Culture and sights

Buildings

In the historic center of Dreieichenhain there are over 60 listed half-timbered buildings from the 16th to 19th centuries. The completely preserved city wall, the upper gate (built in 1350) and the lower gate from the 15th century should be emphasized.

The approximately 130 residential buildings of the original old house substance can be traced back to three house types:

  • the two-zone house , built by citizens with no agricultural sideline, e.g. B. Tramline 29 from 1565
  • the three-zone house , the former stable house of the arable citizens and craftsmen with agricultural sideline, e.g. B. Tramway 8 from 1797
  • the manorial courtyard , which stands out from the usual half-timbered construction, especially due to the massive outer walls on the ground floor of the main building. B. "Trierischer Hof", Spitalgasse 8 to 16.

The Hainer song

The Dreieichenhain local poet Johannes Winkel VIII (1861–1941) dedicated the Dreieichenhain folk song "Mein ist der Hain" to his place of birth. The tune flowed into the pen of Dreieichenhain pastor Fritz Creter (1903–1978) on January 8th, 1931 between 5pm and 5.30pm.
