Georgenhausen (dialect: Schorschehause) is a district of Reinheim in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in southern Hesse .

geography

Georgenhausen lies on the western edge of a fertile and forestless loess area that extends to Groß-Umstadt . The location is just under three kilometers from the Gersprenz and lies north of the Mühlbach , a left western tributary of the Gersprenz, whose upper course is known as the Zeilharder Bach and its lower course as the Hirschbach .

Georgenhausen has merged with the Zeilhard district in the west and borders the Groß -zimmer area in the north and the Spachbrücken district in the east and south, which is only 500 meters away .

With an area of ​​219 hectares, the district is relatively small and largely built up. As of 1961, 31 hectares were forested. Since there is no forest near Georgenhausen, the place had a share in the Dieburger Mark . All communities that originally belonged to Dieburger (Wald-) Mark used the forest area west of Dieburg on a cooperative basis until 1812. Extraction of firewood and construction timber, of tanneries and charcoal, as well as forest pasture, clearing and renaturation as well as all disputes were settled on a Märkerding that met in the open air near Dieburg, to which every local family sent a representative (Märker) and which was under the patronage of Archbishop of Mainz stood. In 1812 the cooperative was dissolved and the forest was divided among the participating communities depending on the number of Märker. At that time Georgenhausen had 42 houses with 267 souls, provided 46 Märker and therefore received 319 acres (around 40 hectares) of community forest, similar to Zeilhard and Klein -zimmer. The other parishes were larger and got larger areas. It was corridor 2 of the Zeilharder Wald district , an exclave north of the Georgenhausen district, which was incorporated into the Messel community in 1977.

history

Prehistory and the Middle Ages

Georgenhausen was settled in prehistoric times. The focal point of Georgenhausen was the estate and the church. The predecessor of today's church, built in 1792, is said to have been donated by the knights of Rodenstein , who also owned the estate. It was built in 1250 when the surrounding towns ( Roßdorf , Spachbrücken) separated from the association of the old Dieburg parish. The church consecrated to St. George also gave the place its name, which was first mentioned in 1318 as Gorienhusen . In the historical documents Georgenhausen is documented under different place names over the centuries as follows (in brackets the year of mention): Jorgenhusen (1407); Jorgenhusen (1429); Jergenhusen (1443); Gorgenhusen (1454); Georgen Hausen (1580); Jörgershausen (1710); Georgenhausen (1730).

The name appeared for the first time in a division contract between Count Bertolf and Count Eberhard von Katzenelnbogen on August 26, 1318, in which the two counts shared their income from southern Hesse in the presence of witnesses: "... on the other hand, Count Eberhart fell as his share ... the tithe to Gorienhusin… “This document shows that Katzenelnbogen had properties in the area around Groß-Gerau , in the northern Odenwald and near Auerbach . Georgenhausen was not one of them; the counts only received their tithes from there.

Georgenhausen was not a closed village at that time, but consisted of several large farms: the Rodensteinischer Hofgut, the Großer Hof owned by the Palatinate and the Beunenhof owned by the Rabenold von Tannenberg family . These three stately courtyards have probably joined together to form a community on the occasion of the church building and adopted the common name "Georgenhausen - the community of the Georgskirche". The original names of the three farms have been lost.

Spachbrücken and Zeilhard belonged to the Lords of Bickenbach from at least 1323 , to the Erbach taverns from 1360 and to the Löwensteiners from 1528 to 1805 . Georgenhausen is not listed with these two locations in any document before 1398, so it was already subject to separate development. It was not until 1398 that the Electoral Palatinate owned Georgenhausen. Since the Palatinate had in Georgenhausen a courtyard, which still in 1503 after fuldischem right conferred is, it is the court and the rights of the village in 1390 along with umstadt from the monastery of Fulda bought.

The Palatinate lent Spachbrücken, Zeilhard and Georgenhausen to Erbach in 1398 , which was confirmed in the documents until 1482. In 1482 Habitzheim was pledged to the Lord von Scharfeneck (later: Löwenstein ). It is questionable whether Georgenhausen belonged to this office, but in any case it was Palatine property. In 1611, the Georgenhäuser had to perform labor services for Count Löwenstein-Scharfeneck . Georgenhausen was therefore subject to the Löwensteiners from 1482 to 1611.

Early modern age

The Rabenolds' farm was sold to the Walbrunn zu Ernsthofen family in 1460 , who had also acquired the estate in 1618, which until then had been in the hands of the Fechenbach family . Around 1600 the Walbrunns also provided the pastor, so they were the secular and spiritual head of Georgenhausen by 1618 at the latest. In 1629, even in embarrassing criminal court cases, the Georgenhäuser were no longer subordinate to the court in Lichtenberg or Groß-Umstadt , but to local rule. In 1649, after the Thirty Years' War , Walbrunn was so in debt that Georgenhausen had to sell it to the " war profiteer " Kamptz zu Godow. From him in 1671 the Lords of Haxthausen inherited the estate and rule over Georgenhausen. In 1732 the widowed Albertina Charlotte von Haxthausen moved to the estate and ruled with her son Christian Rudolf Anton until 1811 according to the motto: "I am the state!" External influence.

Modern times

Georgenhausen belonged to the area of common law , which was valid here without the superimposition of particular law. This retained its validity even while the membership of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century, until 1 January 1900 by the same across the whole German Reich current Civil Code was replaced.

Through the Rhine Confederation Act of 1806, Georgenhausen fell to the newly created Grand Duchy of Hesse . The state sovereignty over all imperial knighthood possessions fell to the larger states surrounding them. However, the areas won were subject to the state sovereignty of the Grand Duchy, but the sovereign rights of the previous owners of the patrimonial jurisdiction had to be preserved. Of course, this disturbed the Grand Duchy in its sovereignty. The Lords of Haxthausen also retained their church patronage . They did not do so until 1968.

However, in the course of the administrative reform of the years 1820 to 1822, the Grand Duchy succeeded in integrating Georgenhausen into the state structures after the Lords of Haxthausen had ceded their rights at the patrimonial court to the state. With the administrative reform of 1821, jurisdiction and administration were also separated at the lower level . District districts were created for the administrative tasks previously performed in the offices, and district courts for the first instance jurisdiction. Georgenhausen was subordinated to the administration of the district of Reinheim and assigned to the district court of Lichtenberg with regard to jurisdiction .

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

»Georgenhausen (L. Bez. Reinheim) Lutheran parish village; is 3 ⁄ 4 hours from Reinheim, not far from the Chaussee that runs through the Odenwald from Darmstadt, and belongs to the Baron von Harthausen. The place has 42 houses and 296 inhabitants, who are Lutheran except for 22 Cath, 1 Reform, 1 Mennonite and 24 Jews. There is a new church built in 1790 with the hereditary burial of the von Harthausen family, an apartment belonging to this family with a large garden set up for agricultural use and in the same the tomb of Baron Rudolph Christian von Harthausen, who died in 1811, a restored parsonage, a new massive school building , a synagogue and mill built in 1828. - The first known owners were Mr. von Rodenstein. Simultaneously with these, the Rabenolde von Dannenberg and the Fechenbach von Sommerau owned goods and a part in and from Georgenhausen. The Lords of Wallbrunn gradually came into possession of the whole place. But they sold it in 1649 to Baron Hanß Joachim Kamptz on Godau, from whom the village was bequeathed to his descendant, Baron von Harthausen. Georgenhausen, which belonged to the immediate imperial knighthood and the Odenwald canton, came under Hess in 1806. Highness The patrimonial judicial and police power has been ceded to the state. "

After Rudolf von Haxthausen's death in 1811, the patrimonial lords no longer lived in Georgenhausen, but had their business dealt with by estate managers and officials. The reins were only loosened when the estate and the patrimonial rights were passed to Count Görtz von Schlitz in 1836 . In 1858 730 new acres belonged to the estate, that is 182.50 hectares. With real estate of this size, the estate remained an economic factor among the counts' tenants, which was important far beyond the boundaries of the municipality and kept the whole village dependent. This only ended in 1946, when the count sold the property to the Nassauische Siedlungsgesellschaft , which converted part of the arable land into building land. Since 1960 only a modest rest yard has been used for agriculture.

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Georgenhausen was incorporated into the city of Reinheim by law on January 1, 1977. For the districts of Georgenhausen and Zeilhard, a joint local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was set up in accordance with the Hessian municipal code.
