The forest oak (popularly: "the Aje"), located in the western district, is characterized by mixed forests and former quarries . There are some large meadows in the forest: the Höllwiese, the Langwiese and the Schmillenbruchwiese.

The Oberwald, also located in the western district, has high clay deposits that were mined until the 20th century. The remaining pits were then designated as a nature reserve. There are also some pastures for cattle in the Oberwald, for example the Hellwies.

The abbey forest, located in the eastern district, consists of mixed forest. The soil here is mainly sandy, like the soil of the adjacent Rodgau. The Brüchelswiese (behind the sports center) is also located in the eastern part of the area and is preferably used as a pasture due to the often wet soil.

The southern district is characterized by fields and pastures and has soils rich in humus. The cultivation of grain, maize and rapeseed is widespread. There are also several pastures for cattle and sheep.

history

Territorial history and administration

Middle Ages and Early Modern Times

The oldest surviving mention of Eppertshausen comes from 836. At that time it belonged to the Benedictine Abbey of Seligenstadt .

In 1383 the tithe fell from the Rödern zu Eppertshausen to the " Babenhausen Castle ", that is to say to the Lords of Hanau . During this time the village belonged to the Mark Babenhausen . In 1438 Heinrich von Groschlag pledged Eppertshausen to Count Johann IV and Philipp von Katzenelnbogen . In 1546 the place was again owned by the Lords of Groschlag von Dieburg. The following are mentioned as landowners in the village: Heinrich von Wasen in 1348 and the branch of the Teutonic Order in Sachsenhausen in 1453 .

Modern times

In 1799, Friedrich Carl Willibald Freiherr von Groschlag zu Dieburg, the last male member of his family, died. Eppertshausen inherited his daughter, Anna Maria , married Countess von Lerchenfeld -Köfering (1775-1854). With the Rhine Confederation Act of 1806, state sovereignty over Eppertshausen fell to the Principality of Isenburg . Here the tiny territory was also known as "Grafschaft Lerchenfeld". At the Congress of Vienna (1815), the Principality of Isenburg itself lost its sovereignty and was mediated in favor of Austria . Austria passed the area on: it agreed in a state treaty with Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse on June 30, 1816 that the Principality of Isenburg largely belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. The Grand Duchy incorporated Eppertshausen into its Starkenburg province . In all of these transactions, Countess Lerchenfeld's traditional rights of rule were preserved. These rights also survived the administrative reform of 1821. In the Grand Duchy, jurisdiction and administration were separated at the lower level and the offices that the state could dispose of alone were dissolved. For the previously perceived by the offices administrative tasks were district districts created for the first-instance jurisdiction district courts.

Because of the transverse rights of Countess Lerchenfeld, Eppertshausen was assigned to the district of Langen in terms of its administration in 1821 , but still "with the reservation of the patrimonial police authority". The case law remained with the owner of the patrimonial jurisdiction. It was not until 1825 that the state and Countess Lerchenfeld agreed that she would cede her rights to the state. This now assigned Eppertshausen to the district court of Langen .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Eppertshausen in 1829:

»Eppertshausen (L. Bez. Langen) cath. Parish village; is located far from the Gersprenz, 3 1 / 4   St. of long and has 103 houses and 891 inh., up to 3 Luth. and 64 Jews all cath. are. The place belongs to the Countess von Lerchenfeld, b. Baroness von Groschlag. You will find a beautiful church, newly built in 1828, 39 farmers, 56 day laborers, 46 craftsmen and, among the latter, a particularly large number of stoners . This place, which probably derives its name from Erbhart, belonged to the knightly canton of Odenwald and was centbar to the castle Stockau zu Dieburg, 1806 is under the sovereignty of the Prince of Isenburg-Birstein and in 1816 with part of the principality of Isenburg under Hess. Your Highness come. In 1825, patrimonial jurisdiction was ceded to the state via Eppertshausen. The place was a branch of Dieburg; but was separated from it in 1751, and the new parish was founded by the von Groschlag family. "

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Eppertshausen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Historical forms of names

In historical documents the place is under the following place names (in brackets the year of mentioning): Ecgiharteshuson (10th century); Ebrehtehusen (1292); Epphyrshusin (1348); Epprechteshusen (1355); Epsprechshusen (1385); Epperßhusen (2nd half of the 14th century); Ippershusen (1438); Opperßhusen (1440); Eppershusen (1453); Eppertshußen (1486); Eppershausen (1527).

History of clay processing

Clay processing goes back to the 17th century. The clay was mostly dug in the area around today's Thomashütte, an excursion restaurant. The mayor's office handed over a clay tax slip for one and two-horse hauls or wagons (10 tons) for a fee. A mine lease was also levied. In what is now a nature reserve , pools of water testify to collapsed clay holes and pits from the mining process at that time. The work of the Häfner (today potters ) with the clay from piercing , transporting, drying, shaping, decorating and firing up to the sale was very laborious. End products were versatile shapes of pots , bowls , jugs , jugs , plates and cups . There were also stove tiles , relief panels , wall plates , vases , roof turrets , fire-proof decorated with marbling and in decorative ceramics.

The goods were sold as Erdenes dishes not only at the “ Dibbemess ” in Frankfurt, but also in the wider area as far as the Spessart , Vogelsberg and down the Rhine , reloaded onto ships from Hanau or Offenbach am Main to Holland and up the Rhine to the Bodensee . The transport from Eppertshausen was done by horse-drawn vehicles, in which the pottery was packed in straw.

Between 1820 and 1830, thirteen Hafner worked in the trade in Eppertshausen. In 1850 there were also three brick factories that also processed the clay. In the second half of the 19th century, 34 potters worked in the village. The clay pits were opened up with a field railway. In 1900 there were 14 workshops with masters and journeymen. In 1925 the number of potters dropped to six. The industrial mass production of ceramics meant the end of many small workshops. Today there is only the Müller pottery , which continues the tradition.

badges and flags

Banner Eppertshausen.svg

coat of arms

Eppertshausen coat of arms
 Blazon : "" In the blue a red and silver nested oblique left bar , accompanied above by a silver stork striding to the left with red reinforcement and below by golden clover leaves in two oblique left rows. ""

The coat of arms was approved by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior on February 20, 1958 .

The municipal coat of arms was compiled by Mayor Stephan Gruber from parts of the coats of arms of the two knight families who once lived there. From the coat of arms of the actual landlords of the place, the Groschlag family, the blue basic color of the coat of arms and the chess bars was taken. The stork and the shamrocks come from the coat of arms of the Wasen, the second family of knights who owned properties there. It is very controversial whether the Wasen really used a stork as a heraldic bird. The stork for the municipal coat of arms was also chosen because a stork had its nest on the schoolhouse.

flag

The flag of Eppertshausen was approved on July 11, 1984 and is described as follows: "The municipal coat of arms is placed on a white central strip between two red stripes in the upper half."

Community partnerships

Eppertshausen has had partnerships with the French municipality of Chaource near Troyes since 1990 and with the Italian municipality of Codigoro in the Po Valley since 2003. A sponsorship has existed with the municipality of Langenweißbach (Saxony) since 1989.

Culture and sights

Regular events

dialect

"Ebbetsshaus" is located in the Hessian dialect area, which belongs to the group of Rhine-Franconian dialects. The strong local character has given way to a southern Hessian colloquial language since the end of the Second World War . The reasons for this include: a. the strong influx of displaced persons , resettlers , former guest workers and people from other regions of Germany. The Ebbetshaiserisch spoken mainly by older residents. In December 2005 the second edition of the Small Eppertshausen dictionary , a collection of the Eppertshausen dialect, was published.

Churches

Valentinus Chapel

St. Sebastian

The chapel was built in 1440. It was dedicated to Saint Valentine and is now the oldest building in town. It owes its origin to a dispute resulting in death. The manslaughter was obliged to give money for the construction of the chapel for four years. The Valentinus Chapel, which replaced a forest chapel that already existed in the second half of the 13th century but has become too small, stands at the end of the old village center; it was a place of pilgrimage until around 1800 .

Parish church

The Roman Catholic parish church of Eppertshausen was initially the one in Dieburg, later that in Münster . In 1737 the Barons von Groschlag had their own parish church built at the southern end of the parish. It was consecrated to Saints Sebastian and Valentine. The church patronage was at St. Mariengraden in Mainz . The central church authority was the Archdeaconate of St. Peter and Alexander in Aschaffenburg, Landkapitel Montat .

The baroque church was demolished after about 100 years; Today's parish church was built at the same location from 1827 to 1832. The plans came from the state master builder Georg August Lerch , a student of the Darmstadt master builder Georg Moller .

Protestant church

Before 1945 there were very few Protestant Christians in Eppertshausen . By 1966 the number grew to around 600. In that year the Evangelical Church Community Eppertshausen was founded and for many years was a branch of the Church Community of Urberach . In 1993 the community became independent. A multi-purpose room in the parish hall built in 1966/67 serves as a church service room.

Nature and protected areas

It is embedded in the Natura2000 area "Neuwiese and Wald northeast of Messel" (FFH area 6018-307). In the southeast, areas of the Natura2000 areas “Untere Gersprenz” (FFH area 6019-303) and “Untere Gersprenzaue” (EU bird sanctuary 6119-401) belong to the municipal area.
