Eckelshausen is a district of the central Hessian city ​​of Biedenkopf . It is located in the Lahn valley between Biedenkopf (north) and the district of Kombach .

history

Eckelshausen was first mentioned in a document under the name Eckoldishusen in 1320 , when Volpert von Hohenfels Philipp von Falkenstein pays an annual pension to the village of Eckelshausen and receives it back as a castle loan.

In 1334, Brother Conradis de Eckoldishusin was mentioned as a Teutonic brother in Marburg.

Eckelshausen belonged to the Dautphe court in 1444 and from 1534 to 1821.

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

"Eckelshausen (L. Bez. Battenberg) evangel. Parish village; situated on the Lahn, just as on the road from Biedenkopf to Giessen, 3 3 / 4  St. Battenberg, has 55 houses and 295 Protestant inhabitants. You can find a stocking factory here, but it is only just being built, and a noble estate. The place, which occurs under the name Egkeldisshusen , belonged to the Dautpher church area in the 15th century. "

Territorial reform

On December 31, 1971, the previously independent municipality was incorporated into Biedenkopf as part of the regional reform in Hesse .

Wiesenhof

In 1444 the brothers Ludwig and Rudolf von Hohenfels exchanged the Hof zu Bellingshausen inherited from their mother Adelheid von Breidenbach to Johann and Arnold von Breidenbach for the Hof Arnold von Breidenbach, the so-called Wiesenhof zu Eckelshausen.

After the estate was divided by the royal councilors in Marburg, the von Waldmannshausen family received the farm, which they still owned in 1629. At the end of the Thirty Years War in 1647, the farm caught fire during a battle, but was rebuilt after the peace agreement.

In 1865 the von Breidenbach family gave the farm to the district forester Runkel for management. In 1876 Johann Jost Born bought the Wiesenhof.

coat of arms

Eckelshausen coat of arms
 Blazon : "In black three gold damascene diamonds or corners (1: 2)."
Reasons for the coat of arms: Three stones are shown, which are heraldically referred to as corners, hence the name Eckelshausen. The ornamentation (called damascene) of the three golden stones is one of the customs of heraldic art in order to liven up larger monochrome areas. The coat of arms was approved on January 28, 1957.
