history

The former name of today's district was Heimershusen and goes back to the name of a count in the Lahngau in 779. It was first mentioned in 1326. Since 1659 Emmershausen belonged to Nassau-Usingen .

The place was part of the early iron processing quarter on the Weil: For the 15th century a forest smithy is proven as a fief of the Archdiocese of Trier . In 1590 a steelworks with blast furnace was built , which Nassau-Orange and Nassau-Weilburg shared. In 1818 Anselm Lossen leased the hut, which now belongs to the Duchy of Nassau, along with several other hut locations. In 1868 the now Prussian government ordered the sale of the no longer economical ironworks for demolition.

In the course of administrative reform in Hesse , the community Emmershausen was on August 1, 1972 by virtue of state law with several other municipalities to the municipality Weilrod together .

coat of arms

Attractions

Protestant church

Church of Emmershausen

The basis of the church was a fortified house of the Counts of Diez from the beginning of the 13th century. At the beginning of the 14th century, the house was destroyed by the Counts of Nassau. The associated castle chapel, which is apparently due to Emmershausen Castle , remained. With the introduction of the Reformation , the chapel became Protestant. The chapel was later no longer used and from 1910 at the latest, demolition was discussed. In 1951, however, the church was renovated by the village community. The Protestant parish of Emmershausen became independent in 1953.

The arches over the windows reveal the Romanesque origin. The church has a rectangular nave and a square choir. The pulpit is from 1608.

Bakehouse

Backes

Only one of the original two bakeries in the village has survived . After the use of the bakery had decreased significantly, one of the bakery was demolished after the Second World War. Today's "Backes" was also hardly used and fell into disrepair over time. In 1987 the house was renovated by the volunteer fire brigade. The material costs of 1,500 DM were covered by the sale of an old cattle scale. As part of the village renewal in 2010, the bakery and the forecourt were renovated again. Today, as part of the baking festival, traditional baking is done in the bakery for the village community.

Emmershausen Mill

On the outskirts of Emmershausen there is a building complex with variable use: The Emmershausen Mill. It was first mentioned as a mill in 1565. The basis of the mill operation is the water that was previously dammed up in the Weil region . Milling ended after the First World War when the IG Bau-Steine-Erden trade union acquired the building and the associated agricultural land and converted the property into a training and recreation center. The training center was not only used by the union. In particular, the union's own bank for the common economy carried out its staff training here until it set up its own training center in Oberursel (Taunus) in the 1980s . In the nineties the complex was used as a reception camp for repatriates and later for asylum seekers . Today the buildings are run down and empty.

Emmershauser Hut

The Emmershäuser Hütte was an ironworks that has been known since early modern times. In 1403 Henne von Hattstein bought half of the forest smithy in Emmershausen from Diel Winter von Büdesheim and leased it to the forest smith Künkel from Heimstein a year later. Awarded to Peter and Henrich Sorg (e) on November 11, 1588 for the forge in Emmershausen. In 1590 Henrich Sorg built a blast furnace there. In the turmoil of the Thirty Years War , the facility fell into disrepair. In 1664, Hattstein sold the facility to Count Walrad . In 1707 Melchior Bäppler from Lützelinden became the site manager. His descendants were at the helm of the hut for the next few decades. In 1807/08 a new blast furnace was built. In 1818 Anselm Lossen leased the hut. After Anselm Lossen's death, his son Joseph Lossen took over the Emmershäuser Hütte in 1821. In 1867 the company was closed.
