Kalbach-Riedberg has been a northern district of Frankfurt am Main since August 1, 1972 . It consists of the historically grown district of Kalbach and the new district of Riedberg . The two city districts together form the local district Kalbach / Riedberg .
history
According to tradition, the funeral procession of St. Boniface stopped on its way from Mainz to Fulda in 754 near the present-day town of Kalbach. Kalbach was first mentioned in a document in 772, when a Mr. Walprath gave away the field from Caltebach where the funeral procession was resting to the Fulda monastery . Over the centuries, the serfs and the goods of Kalbach were given away, pledged, bought back and bequeathed several times. Among other things, the community belonged to the Lorsch Monastery , the Lords of Königstein and Falkenstein , the Johanniterhaus in Frankfurt. When the Falkensteiner line died out in 1418, Kalbach came into the possession of the Eppstein family and became part of the County of Königstein .
On May 25, 1535, the last Count of Eppstein, Eberhard IV, died. His nephew Ludwig zu Stolberg inherited the county by will. Under his rule, the Reformation was introduced according to the church regulations of Count Wolfgang von Pfalz-Zweibrücken . After the death of Ludwig's successor Christoph Stolberg saw Mainz elector Daniel Brendel von Homburg , the county as a completed fiefdom and converted it into the now for the electorate of Mainz belonging Oberamt Koenigstein order.
In 1802, after the dissolution of the Electorate of Mainz, Kalbach fell to Nassau-Usingen and was finally allocated to Prussian and the Wiesbaden administrative district after the German War of 1866 .
In the course of the Hessian territorial reform , Kalbach was incorporated into Frankfurt am Main on August 1, 1972 by state law from the Obertaunuskreis as district 650 and district 12, after a previously failed merger with five neighboring communities to form the community of Eschbachtal . In 2001, the development plan for the large Riedberg housing estate in the south of Kalbach was approved. By the end of construction around 2020, 16,000 people will live there and 3,000 jobs will be created, mostly on the natural science campus of the University of Frankfurt am Main . For the local elections in 2006, the district 650 (Kalbach) was reduced to the Riedberg, the district 12 was enlarged by the newly formed district 651 (Riedberg) from parts of Kalbach and Niederursel and renamed "Kalbach / Riedberg". In the last construction section, Riedberg-Westflügel, which is currently under construction, some streets are named after protagonists of the New Frankfurt . In other quarters of the Riedberg, street names were named after famous women, scientists, painters and Nazi resistance fighters.
The dominant agricultural use of the Kalbächer district, which lasted until the 1990s, has declined sharply due to extensive assignments for the “Am Martinszehnten” industrial estate and the Riedberg settlement. In 2012, there were only two farms and three cattle left of around 20 full-time farms (including milk production) available.
