geography

location

Fellerdilln is located in the southern foothills of the Rothaargebirge at the interface to the south adjoining Westerwald on the upper reaches of the Dill river , which is mainly responsible for the name of the village. It is located around six kilometers north of Haiger not far east of the Kalteiche mountain ( 579.3  m above sea  level ) or the A 45 motorway , which can be reached via the “Haiger / Burbach ” junction or the “ Dillenburg ” junction on the B 277 can be achieved.

Hiking trails

A network of hiking trails leads to the "Kalteiche state forest". The Rothaarsteig long-distance hiking trail , which leads through the wooded low mountain range to Brilon in North Rhine-Westphalia , touches the town on its west side.

history

Fellerdilln was first mentioned in a document in 1294, when citizens from "Dilln" appeared as seals and lay judges . However, the settlement is much older. When a new house was being built in Rommelstrasse, parts of a racing furnace were found that could be dated to the year 1000 (or even earlier around 700 AD). This find documents the early iron smelting in this area.

The name Fellerdilln, also known as Diln , Dylln , veler Dylln or Felerdiln , has officially been the name of the village since 1607 , which arose from the river Dill and the surrounding fields. However, it is also assumed that Fellerdilln is a Celtic settlement, as the Celtic word fur (= horse ) can refer to a wild horse population and can also be found in the dialect name Roßphe for the places Ober- and Niederroßbach . However, there is also a possibility of explanation via the Celtic word Vela (= beyond) the dill, as the place at that time was exclusively on the west side of the dill. Interestingly enough , the name Dilln in the language of the area, based on an old document from the year 1000, verifiably for "the place on the Dilena (Dill) located", has been held for today's Fellerdilln to this day.

When a general appraisal list (tax list) was drawn up for the entire county of Nassau in 1447, the names, Fellerdilln and Offdilln ( Ufdilln ) were recorded to differentiate between the places on the Dill . This list contains 15 taxable persons, 13 households, 15 horses, 29 cows, 6 winterlings, one calf, 92 sheep, 15 goats and 21 pigs.

In different documents from the years 1294, 1343, 1354, 1367 one can find citizens from Dilln (de Dillne) who were present as seals of property transfers.

In 1451 Scheffer Hen and son Hermann run a mill in "Diln".

1532 in the Turkish tax list there are 21 citizens who have to pay taxes. Ten years later there were in man Book of Haiger 23 citizens. A church was built in 1561 and in 1566 there were 47 buildings, 34 horses, 175 cows, 53 cattle, 405 sheep and 88 pigs in Fellerdilln.

On September 30, 1609, permission was given to build a blast furnace hut on the outskirts. Due to the lack of coal (charcoal), the stove could only be operated about 12 days a year. In 1615 the potato was introduced in Hessen. 1616 Heinrich Bieler was a lay judge in Haiger. 1619–1653 Sale and exchange of manorial goods, including those from bastard cases (the count's right of inheritance to goods of deceased illegitimate persons) in the county of Nassau-Dillenburg zu Fellerdilln and twenty other places in the county.

In 1684 a wealthy blacksmith died who, according to tradition, could run faster than a horse . In 1732, the dilapidated old wooden church from 1561 is torn down and a massive church is built on the same site. 1756–1764 Request from Henrich Triesch from Fellerdilln for freedom from tithe from the mine near Oberroßbach.

It was particularly bad in the period from February 24 to March 4, 1796, as the families' winter supplies ran out. After the battle in the Kalteiche , hundreds of wounded and dead lay in the nearby Kalteiche (504 m above sea level) and were cared for or buried by the citizens of Fellerdilln and the nearby towns. Even in later years, wars claimed great sacrifices on the part of the citizens. 1802–1805 Exchange of rulership from the community of Fellerdilln for a piece of Medumshauberg on the Kalteiche for a lordly stretch of forest behind Hattenhausen, between Hermannswiese and Fellerdillner Medumshauberg. 1817 Johann Heinrich Triesch zu Fellerdilln is seized because of guilty forest punishment a field at Heidenbruch in the district Fellerdilln with a value of 7fl.38 Kreuzer and assigned to the ducal domain treasury.

Ev. Church in Fellerdilln

On June 23, 1827 there was a fire in the village. Careless handling of the open light caused a large fire to break out in the new street, today's Brunnenstraße, to which almost the whole street and also the new church with two bells fell victim. The bailiff Chelius from Dillenburg wrote:

"On May 24th, the city of Haiger fell to its foundation walls in ashes, the next day Fellerdilln had a hard time, even the new church with the two people was burned."

The church was rebuilt. The "old school" was built on the upper floor. The building belonged half to the commune, half to the parish.

For the three parishes of Fellerdilln, Dillbrecht, Offdilln, a train station was built in the area of ​​Fellerdilln on the border with Dillbrecht, which was given the name of the parish "Dillbrecht" at the instigation of the pastor Johannes Seitz.

Territorial reform

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Fellerdilln was incorporated into the city of Haiger on January 1, 1977 by virtue of state law . Mayor Wilhelm Benner retired. A local district was not established for Fellerdilln.

Economic history

The townscape is shaped by the old cultural landscape . The Hauberg economy , which has shaped the landscape in the region for centuries, is still carried out by hand by some villagers. Here you get the heating material for the winter. The garden furniture industry also uses oak. The coppice forest , which emerged as a result of the Hauberg economy and mainly consists of birch and oak , is an ecologically important habitat.

The decline of agriculture in the 1960s has continued to this day. Apart from one farmer, there are only a few horse owners in the village who cultivate grassland . Arable farming is almost no longer practiced because the barren soil is difficult to work.
