Surname

The place-name ending " ‑heim " indicates a foundation at the time of the Frankish conquest . The name Geinsheim is probably derived from the Franconian personal name Gam or Genno.

The oldest surviving mention can be found in the Lorsch Codex as Geminnisheim or Geminnesheim . The entry testified that Ruoding the Lorsch donated a meadow or a field. The donation is dated to 767 or 770. In the following centuries, the place place name of Geinsheim mentioned with different spellings: Villa Ginsin (1093) villa Gensum (1122) villa Genso (1231), Genscheim (1432), Gynßheim, dorff (1450), Gynßheim (1469) and Geinßheim (1557).

According to local folklore, the village name is derived from goose ("Gänsheim"). This is often justified with the coat of arms, which shows a fluttering white domestic goose on a black shield.

middle Ages

In 1024 the Frankish Salier Konrad was elected King Konrad II in Kamba and was crowned by Bishop Aribo in Mainz . Kamba is said to have been a settlement opposite Oppenheim in an old river bed that was destroyed by a flood of the Rhine. The Kamba settlement was located in the area of ​​today's Geinsheim, between today's Geinsheim and Leeheim, roughly where the Kammerhof pumping station can be found today.

1122 Archbishop Adalbert gave the church patronage of Geinsheim Mainz Benedictines - Monastery of St. Jakob . The monastery soon also received - the exact time is not known - the rule of the village, which it formally held until the end of the old German Empire . The monastery initially enfeoffed the lords of Munzenberg and, after the Munzenberg inheritance, the lords of Falkenstein with the bailiwick of the village. With the Falkensteiner inheritance it finally came to the counts (from 1744 princes) von Isenburg , who practically exercised the rule of the village.

Early modern age

In the domain of the Isenburg family, at or after the end of the 16th century, the Solms land law had become common law. So the Solms land law also prevailed in Geinsheim. The Common Law was now considered only when the Solmser land law contained no provisions for a fact. The Solms land law remained in force even during the time when Geinsheim belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse , which was only replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly applicable throughout the German Empire .

During the sequester of the county of Isenburg-Büdingen (1635–1642) Geinsheim was administered by the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt . After the restitution, there was a dispute between the counts and the monastery over the respective rights in the village. Count Johann Ludwig von Isenburg-Offenbach and Abbot Jodocus ended the 1656 with a settlement, according to which the court divisions were divided, mayor and court officials were jointly appointed, the monastery was entitled to feudal sovereignty and the right to tithe and the count was entitled to the remaining rights of rule.

In 1856, H. Simon summarized the history of the village in The History of the Imperial House of Ysenburg and Büdingen First Volume: The History of Ysenburg = Büdingen'schen Land as follows:

» Geinsheim: 765 Gemminesheim, 1122 Genissheim, Kirchdorf near the Rhine. In the 8th and 9th centuries, the imperial abbey of Lorsch acquired many goods here through donations and purchases. As early as the 12th century, however, before the handover of this abbey to Archbishop Siegfried von Mainz, the village appeared in the possession of this archbishopric. In 1122 the Archbishop Adalbert gave the local patronage right to the monastery of St. Jakobsberg near Mainz. A confirmation of this donation by Archbishop Werner dates from 1265. Later, however, this monastery also appears in the possession of the village. Undoubtedly it had received the same thing through a donation from the ore pen. The monastery gave the bailiwick of the village to the lords of Minzenberg and Falkenstein, from which they finally came to the Counts of Isenburg during the Falkenstein inheritance distribution with the rule of Dreieich. However, according to the old tradition, letters were neither given nor taken from it, which suggests a very early mortgage.

From a judicial point of view, this village probably belonged to the county of Beßungen in the very old days because of its entire location. Presumably, however, the monastery established a special cent and neck court early on as territorial rule for the same to which no other villages belonged and transferred the exercise of the same to Mr. von Minzenberg and Falkenstein, who cherished and occupied the same in the name of the abbot of St Jakobsberg. Of these, the same fell to the Counts of Isenburg. During the sequester of the county of Isenburg Büdingen from 1635 to 1642 it was owned by Hessen Darmstadt. After the restitution, there were various disputes between the counts and the abbot over mutual rights. That is why Count Johann Ludwig von Isenburg Offenbach reached a settlement with Abbot Jodocus in 1656, according to which, in addition to feudal sovereignty, he should also have the right to tithe, but the Isenburg House should have high and low authorities. The court divisions should be divided, the mayor and judges should be joint. ... In 1542 the village already had 90 families, about 500 souls, but currently has 1017 inhabitants. "

Modern times

The late 18th and early 19th centuries brought far-reaching changes to Europe. As a result of the Napoleonic Wars , the Holy Roman Empire (German Nation) was reorganized by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , which implemented the provisions of the Peace of Luneville from 1803. As a result, the village was formally part of the Principality of Isenburg, which advanced to the “sovereign” Principality of Isenburg towards the end of the old empire . Under the pressure of Napoleon , the Confederation of the Rhine was founded in 1806 , this happened with the simultaneous withdrawal of the member territories from the Reich. This led to the laying down of the imperial crown on August 6, 1806 , with which the Old Empire ceased to exist. On August 14, 1806, the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt was raised by Napoleon to the Grand Duchy of France against high military contingents and membership of the Rhine Confederation , otherwise he was threatened with invasion. After Napoléon's final defeat, the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15 also reorganized the territorial situation for Hesse. Through him Geinsheim came to the Austrian Empire , which ceded it to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . The handover to the Grand Duke of Hesse took place on July 9, 1816.

In the Grand Duchy, Geinsheim was in the Starkenburg province and belonged to the Dreieich district until 1821 . In 1821, as part of an administrative reform, administrative districts were formed and Geinsheim was assigned to the Dornberg administrative district.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Geinsheim in 1829:

»Geinsheim (L. Dec. Dornberg) Lutheran and Catholic Parish village; is located on the Chaussee from Darmstadt to Oppenheim, 2 St. from Dornberg, and belongs to the Prince of Isenburg-Birstein. The place has 141 houses and 902 inhabitants, among which 707 Lutherans, 128 Catholics and 67 Jews are. - An old place that used to be called Gemminesheim . The pastorate received the monastery on the Jacohsberg near Mainz in 1122. In the war of King Albrecht against the Rhenish electors, the former had set up camp near Geinsheim in 1301, and from there moved over the Main into the rule of Eppenstein. This place was shared between the Prince of Isenburg and the St. Jacobsberg Monastery until it fell entirely to Isenburg in 1802. In 1816 Geinsheim came under Hess. Highness, and in 1826 the Prince of Isenburg-Birstein entered the judiciary and Police administration over this place. "

In 1826, the Prince of Isenburg-Birstein joined the judiciary u. Police administration over the place. In 1832 the administrative units in the Grand Duchy were enlarged again and districts were created. This brings Geinsheim into the Groß-Gerau district . The provinces, the counties and the administrative districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished on July 31, 1848 and replaced by administrative districts, but this was reversed on May 12, 1852. As a result, Geinsheim belonged to the Darmstadt administrative district between 1848 and 1852 , before the Groß-Gerau district was again responsible for the higher-level administration. The place remained there even with all subsequent administrative reforms to this day.

The competent jurisdiction was initially the civil office of Dreieich while it was part of Hesse . From 1823 to 1879 the district court Großgerau and from 1879 the district court Groß-Gerau, which emerged from the district court, was responsible for Geinsheim.

In 1860 the management of the grain sand was transferred to Geinsheim.

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipalities of Astheim , Geinsheim, Hessenaue and Trebur were merged into one municipality with the name Trebur on January 1, 1977 by the law to reorganize the district of Groß-Gerau . Local districts according to the Hessian municipal code were not established.

Culture and sights

Buildings

Geinsheim consists of the old town center, which is characterized by the historic town hall, a small Catholic chapel and a neo-Gothic Protestant church, and several new building areas that arose in the 1960s, 1980s and 1990s. The new building area from the 1960s and 1970s houses the elementary school and the two kindergartens, as well as the “new” Catholic Church with its reduced, square brick look .

Natural spaces

The so-called bog hole is the closest lake to the outskirts. This is where peat used to be extracted for medicinal purposes in the Schlangenbad spa near Wiesbaden. In the meantime, the double lake is mainly used for fishing and in very cold winters also for ice skating. Geinsheim is surrounded by several quarry ponds, part of which is still used for gravel extraction, part as a local recreation area with leased camping facilities and one of the lakes as a public outdoor pool. Other lakes are leased by fishing and nature conservation associations. Around Geinsheim there are several small wooded areas and areas that are designated as nature reserves . For some years now, thanks to the commitment of a bird protection group, breeding pairs of the white storks have regularly returned to the Geinsheim area.

As part of the Hessian village renewal program , a circular hiking trail, the Geusemer Gänsepfad , was created around the village.

Industrial culture

Not far from the connecting road Kornsand-Geinsheim at 8 ° 23 '01 ″ east longitude and 49 ° 52' 11 ″ north latitude, Südwestrundfunk operates a transmission system for VHF , which uses a 138 meter high, guyed steel truss mast with a triangular cross-section as an antenna carrier. This transmission mast was originally part of the four-mast directional antenna built in 1964 for the Bodensee transmitter in Meßkirch-Rohrdorf. It was dismantled in the 1970s and rebuilt in Trebur in 1981.

Regular events

The village festival, the "Geusemer Kerb", is known far beyond the municipality's borders. Unlike the "Kerwe festivals", the parish fair is not celebrated in the local area in the pubs and restaurants, but in a large marquee on Kerweplatz becomes. It is the largest tent notch in southern Hesse.

On May 27, 2018, Geinsheim was again part of the " The Circle Rolls " campaign, which takes place every 2 years , as in 2014. The cycle route ran right through the town, with many associations and institutions participating with stands.

Economy and Infrastructure

Geinsheim was characterized by agriculture for a long time. The spatial proximity to Rüsselsheim am Main , Frankfurt am Main , Wiesbaden , Darmstadt and Mainz allowed the residents to orientate themselves professionally as commuters to the surrounding cities in the course of industrialization. Medium-sized companies from the chemical industry, among others, have their headquarters in two mixed commercial areas. Agriculture is still practiced in Geinsheim, for example, the district of Trebur is surrounded by fields where rape , sunflowers , grain , corn and sugar beet are grown .
