geography

Town center

Harheim borders in the north on Nieder-Eschbach and Nieder-Erlenbach and in the south on Bonames and Berkersheim ; in the east it borders the city of Bad Vilbel .

The Eschbach , a small body of water that flows through Harheim, flows into the Nidda near the village , which can be followed on paved bike paths from here to the mouth of the Main at Höchst .

history

middle Ages

The earliest mention of Harheim, as "Horeheim", can be found in the list of goods of the Lorsch Monastery ( Lorsch Codex ) under the year 786. On February 25, 786, the abbess Aba donated her Rotaha (Neuenhof) convent to the Lorsch Monastery. The Rotaha (Neuenhof) monastery was located in Ober-Roden, south of Offenbach am Main , and had possessions in 13 communities, including Horeheim . The word component "hore" in the municipality name indicates wetland.

The Carolingian settlement was also mentioned in an exchange document from 817: Emperor Ludwig the Pious (814 to 840 AD), son of Charlemagne , received some possessions in and between Harheim and Steden from the Fulda Monastery for Bingenheim in the Wetterau (after according to the latest interpretation of the document, it is in all probability about today's Kilianstädten ). It is interesting that both the - albeit defective - original document and the complete copy made in the 12th century have been preserved.

In the High Middle Ages , Harheim belonged to the Lords of Munzenberg and, after their extinction, from 1255 to the Falkensteiners . At the beginning of the 15th century Harheim was under the rule of the Eppsteiner , but was sold to Frankfurt in 1435 and was already paying taxes to the city (44 guilders and 22 shillings in 1499). In 1511 it was bought back by the Eppsteiners for 3400 guilders.

Early modern age

Marienkapelle in the Eschbachaue

The Counts of Stolberg inherited the area in 1535 after Count Botho zu Stolberg had married Anna von Eppstein, Countess of Königstein, in 1500. After the Stolberg-Königstein line died out, Harheim fell to Kurmainz , the state of the princes and archbishops of Mainz, for over 200 years in 1581 . During this time the Thirty Years War also hit Harheim, which was completely destroyed.

Modern times

When the Electoral State of Mainz was dissolved in 1803, Harheim fell to the Principality of Nassau-Usingen , which merged with the Principality of Nassau-Weilburg to form the Duchy of Nassau 3 years later . As an ally of Austria, the Duchy of Nassau was defeated by the Kingdom of Prussia in the Austro-Prussian War in 1866 . This occupied Nassau. Harheim, however, ceded it to the Grand Duchy of Hesse (-Darmstadt) in the peace treaty of September 3, 1866 , which incorporated the village into its province of Upper Hesse . The result was that in Harheim an extremely complex particular law applied: Nassau law, Mainz land law and - under customary law - title 28 of the Solms land law (matrimonial property law), but this was amended by a Mainz "Declaratory Rescript" of September 11, 1773. Only that The civil code , which was uniform throughout the German Empire , suspended the old particular law on January 1, 1900.

Harheim belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse until 1918, which then became the People's State of Hesse .

Harheim as a district

After an amalgamation with five neighboring municipalities to form the municipality of Eschbachtal had failed in the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the incorporation into Frankfurt by law of the Hessian state parliament from 1. August 1972 together with the three other northern districts of Kalbach, Nieder-Eschbach and Nieder-Erlenbach. The municipalities of Harheim and Nieder-Eschbach - unlike the municipalities of Kalbach and Nieder-Erlenbach - refused to conclude an incorporation contract until the end. Their resistance even reached film fame for the residents of the village when it was portrayed in a six-part TV series (" Die Wilsheimer ") with amateur actors from the village. To this day, the people of Harheim are said to have a “certain idiosyncrasy” on the official website of the city of Frankfurt.

On March 29, 1979, the Third Russell Tribunal was held in the Bürgersaal , denouncing human rights violations in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Despite a number of new development areas, Harheim has retained its village character. There is a pronounced club life here. The Harheimer Curb is known beyond the boundaries of the district.

Harheim is currently in a state of upheaval and is growing through new building areas in the north, south and the new building area "Südostlich Urnbergweg".

Population development

There is little reliable data on population development. We know that in 1660 - shortly after the Thirty Years War - Harheim housed 206 Electoral Mainz and 7 foreign serfs . The population figures in 1823 (594 inhabitants) and in 1900 (1095 inhabitants) are documented.

Before the Second World War (1939) there were 1200 inhabitants and in 1964 2180 inhabitants. At the time of incorporation (1972) there were 3535 inhabitants and according to the statistical yearbook of the city of Frankfurt 2002 already 3928 inhabitants. After new construction work on the eastern edge around 2006/10, the population increased to 4294 (2012). Another new development area in the west of Harheim (2012-2016) ensured a further increase of a few hundred inhabitants. The population is 000000000005234.00000000005,234. Like Kalbach and Nieder-Erlenbach, Harheim is one of Frankfurt's districts with a still rural character, a high home ownership rate and a low unemployment rate.
