history

Protestant church

There is evidence that the Celts settled in what is today the area of ​​Eibelshausen; this is evidenced by tool finds from this time.

Eibelshausen was first mentioned in the form of the name Ybelingeshusen in a document dated May 29, 1314. With this document, the knight Eckhard V. von Helfenberg sold the Bailiwick of Eibelshausen to Count Heinrich I of Nassau-Siegen .

The village has been affected by several plague epidemics and major fires in its history.

On May 20, 1815, 204 of the village's 242 buildings burned down in a large fire. In the two following years the village was again generously built and expanded. Wide, right-angled streets were laid out and minimum distances between the houses were stipulated in order to prevent another major fire. During this time, today's town center received its characteristic shape.

In addition to agriculture and animal husbandry, iron smelting also had a long tradition in Eibelshausen. In the surrounding forests, there are still places where in the early settlement period there were smelting furnaces and slag was deposited. This tradition in the Eibelshäuser Hütte only ended in the 1970s with a production changeover. The former Buderus plant is now part of the Bosch Group .

With the construction of the Dillenburg – Ewersbach railway line , Eibelshausen received a train station in 1892. The line was closed in 1987 for passenger traffic and in 2000 for freight traffic.

Territorial reform

On October 1, 1971, Eibelshausen joined forces with the neighboring villages of Eiershausen and Wissenbach to form the municipality of Eschenburg as part of the regional reform in Hesse . Force state law were the communities Eschenburg Hirzenhain and Simmersbach and Roth of the former district Biedenkopf to advanced large village Eschenburg together . The entry into force took place on July 1, 1974 by the district president in Darmstadt. Local districts with local advisory boards and local councilors were established for all six districts .
