Götzenhain is a district of Dreieich in the Offenbach district in southern Hesse .

Geographical location

Götzenhain is the upper end point of the continuous settlement axis, which connects four Dreieich districts, namely Götzenhain, Dreieichenhain , Sprendlingen and Buchschlag , along the Hengstbach in a southeast-northwest direction . The Hengstbach flows to the northwest and is the source of the Schwarzbach , which in turn flows south of the Mainspitze into the Rhine . The source area of ​​the Hengstbach is just east of the district boundary, on the western slope of the Dietzenbacher Hexenberg , the highest elevation in the Offenbach district at 215 meters.

The center of Götzenhain is located south of Dietzenbacher Strasse and, starting from this street, is enclosed by a narrow, horseshoe-shaped footpath, which mainly serves to develop garden plots that are located in this Bering. Starting from the town center, the built-up location has expanded down to the Hengstbach to the south and west and to the north up to the 191.4 meter high Im Höchst . This hilltop is the highest elevation in the district and part of the ridge, which acts as a watershed separating the Hengstbachtal in the south from the Bieber river system in the northeast. The Bieber runs through Dietzenbach , Heusenstamm and Offenbach-Bieber to Mühlheim am Main . Very close to the headwaters of the Bieber, the Luderbach begins its course northwards through Neu-Isenburg into the Main near Frankfurt-Niederrad . A phenomenon can be mapped between Bieber and Luderbach: both rivers are connected by a 1000 meter long ditch between Butterwiese and Haus Kirchborn , a so-called bifurcation , which has a peak height of about 170 meters.

Opposite the center of Götzenhain, south of the Hengstbach, is Philippseich Castle .

Götzenhain borders in the north and northwest on the district of Sprendlingen, in the west on Dreieichenhain, in the south on Offenthal and in the east on the district town of Dietzenbach.

The municipal area is 1141 hectares, of which 421 hectares are forested (as of 1961). Most of the forests are in the north, between Luderbach and Bieber.

history

In the opinion of local researchers, Götzenhain did not emerge gradually from individual farms, but rather a planned establishment of the town. As proof of this, the course of the streets in the old town center is brought up (main streets, Kreuz-, Friedens- and Glockengasse). Although finds from prehistoric and early historical as well as Roman times are known from the area, the origin is assumed shortly before the year 1200. The reason given for the establishment of the town is that the imperial bailiffs at Dreieichenhain Castle needed additional farmland. That is why land was cleared on the ridge of the Im Höchst in the east of Dreieichenhain and the site was created. Götzenhain used to be called a kitchen village for the castle residents, which could have its origin in these circumstances.

The first written mention of Götzenhain comes from the year 1318. After the Falkensteiner died out , Götzenhain came into the possession of the County of Isenburg from 1418 and the Reformation was introduced in the 16th century . Count Johann Philipp von Isenburg-Birstein built the Philippseich Palace in Götzenhain around 1715. The Neuhof was built as an Isenburg model estate. Götzenhain only became an independent parish in 1724. In 1816 Götzenhain came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse together with the Offenbach Regional Authority . The Dreieichbahn was opened in 1905 with a train station in Götzenhain.

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on January 1, 1977, the law on the reorganization of the Offenbach district merged the cities of Dreieichenhain and Sprendlingen and the communities of Buchschlag, Götzenhain and Offenthal to form a city with the name Dreieich . Local districts for the city districts were not established.

Culture and sights

The Kirchborn

As part of the regional park initiative, a sculpture designed by the landscape architects Ipach and Dreisbusch was erected on the 176 meter highest elevation of the open field corridor on the “Auf der Hub” path and is part of the regional park route. This work, called a pole pyramid , consists of 450 glued round timbers with a diameter of 24 cm. ( Location ) The sculpture is divided into two parts and can be walked on and forms a visual axis to the Taunus and the Frankfurt skyline .

In Götzenhain, the Neuhof is especially worth seeing. ( Location ) Here an old farm has been extended by half-timbered buildings. These extensions also house an inn. A golf course is located around the Neuhof.

Philippseich Castle, located between Götzenhain and Offenthal, is also worth seeing, but unfortunately not to be visited as it is privately owned.

The Protestant church in the center of Götzenhain is a baroque building from 1776 . The glass painter Otto Linnemann from Frankfurt created glass windows for the church in 1930.

To the south of the train station is the ring forest, in which a natural monument is hidden: When the former Vogelsberg volcano went out thousands of years ago, lava emerged again at this point , leaving behind large black rock structures. At the beginning of the 19th century, the basalt that had leaked out was mined here and used, among other things, to build the Catholic church in Götzenhains. From the former quarry, a double ring wall has been preserved in the wood.

Behind the town exit, near the district road K 173 in the direction of Dietzenbach ( Lage ), there is the former barite mine Anna , in which the mineral barite (barite) was mined from 1921 to 1928 .

From the Anna mine , in a slightly north-westerly direction, you can see a strip of terrain barely two hundred meters away and overgrown with trees. Below it is the "old shaft" of the heavy spar mine, which was filled in and operated from 1866 to 1872. At the northern end of this small wood, on the other side of the path that comes from the Aussiedlerhöfe , is the Green Born , the source of the Bieberbach . It was mentioned in a document as early as 1270 as the “Grunenburnen”. The source version in its current form has existed since 2011. ( Location )

From the Grünen Born in an easterly direction back on the path that leads past the Aussiedlerhöfe, after a few hundred meters in a northerly direction you come to another natural monument in the Götzenhain district, the Kirchborn . ( Location ) There is another source area that feeds the beavers. In 1927 a Roman lime kiln was excavated in the immediate vicinity. There are also the remains of a Roman estate, a villa rustica , which was inhabited from the middle of the 2nd to the 3rd century AD.
