Flammersbach is a district of Haiger in the Lahn-Dill district in central Hesse .

Geographical location

Flammersbach is located in the northeastern foothills of the Westerwald at the interface with the Rothaargebirge on the Flammersbach, bordering to the north . Flammersbach borders on the following districts: Langenaubach in the southeast, Oberdresselnorf in the southwest, Niederdresselnorf in the west, Holzhausen in the west, Allendorf in the north, and the town of Haiger , to which the place is directly connected, in the northeast. On the eastern edge of the village runs the state road 3044. The stream of the same name flows through the place, almost two kilometers long Flammersbach , which flows south of Haiger into the Aubach .

history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1369. The place name is probably derived from the proper name Flamero or Framero and, like many village names in the area, probably goes back to the 5th to 6th century AD. In a map of Nassau from 1819, the name Mammelsbach appears for Flammersbach .

In an older document it is reported that an Oberflammersbach ( Obernflamerspach ) and a Niederflammersbach ( Nedernflarnerspach ) exist. Oberflammersbach therefore probably corresponds to today's center of Flammersbacher, which has essential features of a mixed or cluster village . Niederflammersbach, on the other hand, was probably already deserted in the 16th century . It is reported that two families moved to Oberflammersbach. According to oral tradition, it is said to have been "Uff der Linn" or "Linn's Eck", ie near the linden tree, roughly at today's junction of Flammersbachstrasse from Landesstrasse 3044 between Haiger and Langenaubach . In earlier times, farmers are said to have stumbled upon stones from the foundation walls while plowing.

In earlier times the people lived mainly from agriculture, partly from the hauberg economy . Many workers from Flammersbach also took the one-hour journey to work (footpath) to the Haas brown coal mine in Rabenscheid in order to make a living. But from 1836 there was also work in the Langenaubach iron ore mine Constanze . There are also some natural resources in the Flammersbacher district, including lignite and clay, lead, copper, iron stone, pebbles and zinc. However, these were only broken down in smaller quantities, if at all. However, the mining of basalt was significant, and for decades (from 1893 to 1966) many residents were provided with an income. From 1926 a cable car was used to remove the basalt rock on the Bernbergskopf , which ran across the village. The rock was previously brought to the Haiger train station in carts .

In the turmoil of the Second World War , the Flammersbacher Ortschronik, of which it is not known in what form and accuracy it existed, was lost. Friedrich Schwarz, headmaster from 1950 to 1963, attempted a comprehensible, but certainly incomplete, transcription in later years. Today it is owned by the Haiger city administration. Further documents and old documents on Flammersbach are stored in the Wiesbaden State Archives .

The Americans occupied Flammersbach on March 29, 1945. The neighboring towns of Holzhausen and Niederdresselnorf, however, belonged to the British zone of occupation in the post-war period . Until the currency reform in 1948, barter and black trade flourished. The Americans exchanged home-made schnapps for chocolate, tobacco, laundry and other hard-to-find things. As a result of the Second World War, many people had to flee or were displaced. 146 expellees and refugees reached Flammersbach in 1946 and had to be housed. The housing shortage was so great that even the quarry and the Backes served as apartments.

The community had a fire fighting pond early on , which also served as a swimming pond . This was later expanded and operated as a municipal outdoor pool from 1966 to 2013. Until then, it was the only open-air swimming pool in Haiger.

Flammersbach had a stop on the railway line Haiger - Breitscheid , which was closed in September 1997 and opened in 1926. The talüberspannende, 18 meters high and 140 meters long bridge is one of seven arches with 15-meter wingspan to the striking views of the town.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Flammersbach was incorporated into the city of Haiger on January 1, 1970 on a voluntary basis . A local district was not established for Flammersbach.

school

In 1902 the new school was built. By then, the school room in Backes had been housed for 167 years after the first school had to give way in 1735. Another new school building was inaugurated on April 26, 1952. Teaching there until July 31, 1973. Since then, elementary school students from Flammersbach have attended the elementary school in Langenaubach and have to commute there by bus.
