history
Eskinivvach is first mentioned in 974. This name comes from an old Germanic language and means something like settlement near the ash trees by the water . In terms of linguistic history, the origin of the place can be dated to a time before the conquest by the Franks . That was after the year 500, at the latest by 700. A Franconian royal court was probably built here in Merovingian times, which guarded the border over the Werra ford to Thuringia and still existed in the 10th and 11th centuries. St. Dionys , the preferred saint of the Merovingians, to whom the Old Town Church is consecrated, points to this time .
The first written mention can be found in a document from Emperor Otto II , who left the royal court and the settlement of his wife Theophanu as heir. Her daughter Sophie founded the Eschwege women's monastery on the Cyriakusberg around 1000 , which was consecrated to Saint Cyriakus and existed until the Reformation in Hesse in 1527 (the only remnant of the monastery that still exists today is the Karlsturm ). The place received market rights around 1188, and city rights followed before 1249. The foundations of cloth and leather production, which has flourished until modern times, also date from this time .
From 1264 Eschwege belonged to Hesse as a result of the Thuringian-Hessian War of Succession under Heinrich I of Hesse. On May 12, 1292 he offered the city of Eschwege to King Adolf von Nassau as an imperial fief and immediately received it and the imperial castle Boyneburg back as a hereditary imperial fief. With this, Heinrich acquired the dignity of imperial prince , which considerably strengthened his position of power in Hesse.
Landgrave Balthasar von Thuringia moved into the city in 1385 and built a castle in 1386. In 1433 the city fell back to the Landgraviate of Hesse . Landgraves Philip I , Wilhelm IV and Moritz expanded the castle into a palace. 1585 an office Eschwege is attested. From 1627 to 1632 this was the retirement home of the abdicated Landgrave Moritz and from 1632 to 1655 the residence of Landgrave Friedrich von Hessen-Eschwege , a branch line in the so-called Rotenburger Quart of the House of Hessen-Kassel ; however, Friedrich did not actually reside in the city until after 1646.
During the Thirty Years' War , Eschwege was plundered on Easter 1637 by imperial Croats under General Johann von Götzen and largely devastated by fires. After the death of Friedrich of Hessen-Eschwege in 1655, his (partial) landgraviate fell to his brother Ernst von Hessen-Rheinfels . After 1731, his grandson Christian von Hessen-Wanfried moved the residence of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Wanfried to Eschwege. After the male line Hessen-Wanfried died out in 1755, the Landgraviate fell to the Hessen-Rotenburg line . When this male line also went out in 1834, the entire quarter fell back to the parent company Hessen-Kassel.
On October 30, 1657 Martha Kerste and her daughter Catharina Rudeloff were executed on charges of witchcraft . Mayor Jürgen Zick on behalf of the city and the Synod of the Evangelical Church District Eschwege announced on October 30, 2007 a rehabilitation of the two women condemned as "witches".
Eschwege was on the Leipzig - Kassel post office route established in 1700 as part of the Moscow - Amsterdam long-distance post line .
The city received a railway connection in 1875 when the line from Bebra to Eschwege was built. The Niederhone station (from 1936 Eschwege-West) was the intersection of the Berlin-Coblenzer Railway ( Kanonenbahn ) and the Bebra-Friedländer Railway.
During the Second World War , Eschwege was the target of air raids several times . Attacks on July 7th, 19th and 21st as well as on August 26th, 1940 mainly targeted the airfield. On April 19, 1944, the airfield as well as the Ober- and Niederhone were attacked, with 18 dead and 60 injured. The heaviest attack took place around noon on February 22, 1945, which was primarily aimed at the station and claimed 44 lives. On April 3, 1945, retreating German troops blew up the Werra bridges in the city. On the same day the US Army entered the city. The occupiers set up their headquarters in the district court.
After the end of the war, Eschwege belonged to the American zone of occupation . The US military administration set up a DP camp in 1946 to accommodate Jewish refugees, so-called Displaced Persons (DP). This camp, in which up to 3,300 people lived at times, was disbanded in April 1949.
Charitable foundations
The Schenck Foundation in Eschwege was established by Rudolph von Schenck zu Schweinsberg , governor of Cassel and governor of the Werra. It was intended to pay the preachers, the school and church servants, to benefit students and schoolboys and to reward loyal servants who had served ten years under the same rule.
In 1863 the two pastors of the old town and the pastor of the new town were the board members of the foundation. Ludwig Arnold, the provisional church organization for Eschwege, was appointed as administrator and pastor widows' fund administrator.
Historical city names
When it was founded, Eschwege was called "Eskiniwach", which means something like "settlement near the ash trees by the water". The elderly people who live in the vicinity of Eschwege also call “Eschwege” “Eschewei” or “Ischewei”. These names probably come from High German and are derived from the Germanic original name Eschweges. Other historically documented forms of the place's name are "Eskinewag" in pago Germara marca (994), "Iskinwege" (1064/65), "Heschenewege" (1070/77), "Askinewage" (1070) and "Eschenwege" (1188).
Incorporations
In 1936 Niederhone was incorporated, as the site was needed to create the Eschwege air base; the local state domain was dissolved and largely demolished.
As part of the regional reform in Hesse on December 31, 1971, the previously independent communities Niederdünzebach and Oberdünzebach became districts of Eschweges. Albungen, Eltmannshausen and Niddawitzhausen followed on April 1, 1972. Oberhone was added on January 1, 1974 by state law.

religion
Christianity
In Eschwege there are three Protestant parishes in the core town (town parish Eschwege with the market church of St. Dionys and the Neustädter church of St. Katharina, cross parish on the Struth and resurrection parish on the Heuberg) and one evangelical parish each in the districts of Albungen, Eltmannshausen, Niddawitzhausen, Niederdünzebach, Oberdünzebach, Niederhone and Oberhone. There are also two Roman Catholic parishes in the core town of Eschwege (St. Elisabeth and Apostelkirche am Heuberg), a parish of the regional church community (Bismarckstraße 7), an Evangelical Free Church ( Baptists ), and a New Apostolic congregation, which hold services in the former synagogue (Vor dem Berge 4), and for more than 50 years the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses (Schlesienstrasse 1–3). At the end of 2006, out of a total population of 22,574, 13,967 (= 61.87%) people belong to the Evangelical Church and 3,403 people (15.07%) belong to the Catholic Church.
The oldest church in the city was built in the 10th century on the site of today's market church.
Judaism
Jews lived in Eschwege as early as the Middle Ages , the first evidence dated back to 1301. The Jewish community was destroyed during the persecution during the plague of 1348/1349 . In 1457 a "Judengasse" was mentioned, in 1507 there was talk of the "vicus iudaicus". Judengasse was located in the city center between “Kohlenmarkt” and “Neuer Steinweg”. In 1580 there were 30 Jewish residents in the city. By the middle of the 18th century, their number rose to 171 (4.9% of the total population). Initially, the families lived almost exclusively from trading cattle and goods (textiles). In the 19th century, however, numerous Jewish trading, commercial and industrial companies emerged, which were of great importance for the city's economic life. The Jewish residents also took an active part in public life. The community belonged to the Niederhessen (Kassel) rabbinical district , but had its own district rabbinate . Most of the Jewish residents were there in 1885, 549 lived here at that time. The Eschweg synagogue was inaugurated in 1838 . Its interior was completely destroyed in the November pogrom in 1938 . The Eschwege Jewish elementary school existed from 1827 to 1939 . The New Apostolic congregation of Eschwege has been based in the former synagogue since 1954.
After 1933 some of the Jewish community members (1933: 421 people) moved away from Eschwege or emigrated due to increasing disenfranchisement and reprisals, a large number of them to the USA (80 people). In 1941–1942 the last 100 or so Jewish residents were deported to the concentration camps.
From 1946 to April 1949, a DP camp was operated on the former air base for Jewish concentration camp survivors under the supervision of UNRRA . Almost all of the camp residents emigrated there after the establishment of the State of Israel . The remaining Jewish residents in Eschwege were too few to be able to form a minyan again in the long term .
