history

Roman column stump (1st century AD)

A Neolithic settlement was discovered in the Klein-Rohrheim district while a bypass was being built . Ten houses from around 5300 BC It can be proven that they were erected at regular intervals of 12 to 15 m from each other. It is still unclear whether they existed at the same time. Outer trenches typical for the oldest ceramic tape were dug, post holes up to a meter deep. The construction of the houses could be assigned to the Flomborn level, which follows the oldest ceramic band. Therefore, dating near the transition between the two levels is likely.

The forerunner of today's city of Gernsheim was a Roman fort from the first century AD. A column fragment excavated in the Siegfriedstrasse in 1972 still dates from this time. The fort was abandoned in the 3rd century at the latest when the Romans abandoned the right bank of the Rhine. The foundations of Fort Gernsheim were discovered on August 27, 2014 by archaeologists from the University of Frankfurt am Main in the area of ​​Nibelungenstrasse. During an excavation in 2015, a Roman village near the fort was also discovered, which was probably inhabited from the 1st to the 3rd century AD.

After the Great Migration , Gernsheim became a Franconian royal court (first mentioned in 852 in a document by Ludwig the German ). In 908 this came into the possession of the Lorsch Monastery (mentioned in the Lorsch Codex ) and in 1232 under the rule of Kurmainz , which lasted until the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803. This explains why the Mainz wheel appears in the coat of arms today. Gernsheim received town charter in 1356 with a certificate from Charles IV ; it was fortified and received a moated castle as the electoral residence.

The place was called Heim des Gerin / Gerun in 830/50 in an early Franconian period , with a long e and short i / u. Spellings were 852 Gerunesheim, between 830/50 Gernesheim, 871 Gerinesheim / Kerinesheim. In an old script about the city, here called Gernersheim , it says in Latin: "d) the well-known Petri Schoifferi, the perfect and famous typographer in the country, has now called the place Gernsheim", Gernsheim for the first time from 1283.

The Peter Schöffer Monument

Peter Schöffer , who worked for Johannes Gutenberg when he invented the printing press, was born in Gernsheim around 1425 . The city of Gernsheim, which in 1836 placed a stone monument for him on the square that is named after him today (carved by Johann Baptist Scholl from Darmstadt), celebrates the printer who died in Mainz in 1503 as the city's greatest son and is now officially called Schöfferstadt .

In the Thirty Years War Gernsheim was sacked by the Swedes. During the Palatinate War of Succession , it was set on fire by the troops of General Ezéchiel de Mélac in 1689.

In 1803 Gernsheim came to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt (from 1806 Grand Duchy of Hessen ) in the course of the secularization of the electoral territory of the Archbishops of Mainz . Administratively Gernsheim belonged to the office of Gernsheim until 1821 . As a result of the administrative reform of 1821 in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the city was assigned to the district of Bensheim in the Starkenburg province .

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

“Gernsheim (L. Bez. Bensheim) city; is located in a flat area on the influence of the angle Bach in the Rhine, 3 pieces of Bensheim and 4 1 / 2   St. of Darmstadt. With the courtyards, the city has 322 houses and 2893 inhabitants, all of which are Catholic except for 69 Lutherans, 9 Reforms and 52 Jews. There are 52 farmers, 21 linen weavers, 18 bakers, 11 butchers, 5 rope makers, 28 shoemakers, 12 blacksmiths, 44 boatmen and fishermen, 5 ship builders, 2 hat makers, etc. The houses are partly beautiful and the streets fairly wide. The city consists of the suburb and the city proper, which the latter is in part provided with ditches and ramparts and divided into four quarters. The main buildings include: the beautiful parish church, which was completed in 1753 and has a high, magnificent tower, the town hall built in 1700 and the former Domkapitelsche factories. Gernsheim has an industrial school and good peat graves. Here is a Rhine crossing and every week a market ship goes to Mainz. The fruit markets that are held here weekly are significant; Gernsheim also has 3 cattle and grocer's markets every year. Peter Schöffer was born here, Fusts Eidam, who invented the cast letters before 1454. - The Romans seem to have had a strong point of view here. at least one has already found many Roman coins in and near Gernsheim. However, the place first appears by name in 773 in the Heppenheimer mark description. Several emperors and kings counted him among their royal courts. In 1071, Emperor Heinrich IV confirmed several items of goods to Gernsheim to Lorsch Abbey. After this monastery was fully owned by the town, it established its own bailiwick here, with which the noble von Bickenbach family was enfeoffed. With the Lorsch monastery, Gernsheim came to the archbishopric of Mainz in 1232, along with the patronage that the monastery received through exchange in 907, but the hereditary bailiff only in 1283. In 1356, Emperor Carl IV granted the town of Gernsheim town rights, just as the town later received market privileges . The archbishopric also remained in the possession of Gernsheim until the elector Adolph II pledged the city and the office of Gernsheim together with the Rheinzolle for 40,000 florins to Count Philipp von Katzenellenbogen in 1465. So the city came to Hesse and stayed there until Elector Albrecht of Mainz, in 1520, redeemed the whole thing. After the Bickenbach man tribe had left Erbach, the Rhine journey had come to Erbach, from this in 1522 to Churmainz and from there in 1579 to Hesse by comparison. During the Thirty Years' War, the city was gradually occupied by various troops; In 1647 the fortress works had to be razed and in 1689 the town was almost entirely turned into a heap of ashes by Melac's murderous hordes. The city was previously heavily fortified and had a fortress separated from the city, which was provided with wide moats, a drawbridge, strong masonry and a high tower. In former times there was a gold fishing and gold washing business in and near Gernsheim. Nearby was the considerable Frenkenfeld farm, which had now been abandoned. In 1802 the city of Mainz came to Hesse. "

1832 Province Starkenburg was then in circles divided, and Gernsheim belonged to the circle Bensheim . It then belonged to this until 1874, only interrupted by the division of Starkenburg into administrative districts. From 1848 to 1852 it was part of the Heppenheim administrative district . In the course of the reform of the district constitution in the Grand Duchy of Hesse based on the Prussian model in 1874, there was also a new district division. Due to this reform, Gernsheim came to the Groß-Gerau district, to which it still belongs to this day.

The responsible jurisdiction was the district court of Gernsheim from 1839 to 1879, and from 1879 the district court of Gernsheim that emerged from it . After its dissolution in 1938, Gernsheim fell under the jurisdiction of the Groß-Gerau district court .

In the 19th century, the city fortifications were razed, the suburbs expanded, the city was connected to shipping on the Rhine and a railway line, and the first industrial plants were built.

In the final phase of the Second World War in Europe, the American units reached the Rhine between Mainz and Mannheim in mid-March 1945. In preparation for their crossing of the Rhine , most of the Ried communities were shelled by American artillery on March 25th and on the night of March 26th. On March 26, Gernsheim was 40% destroyed.

The reconstruction in the 1950s went rapidly and with Gernsheim took a large number of displaced persons and refugees from the former German eastern territories, whose descendants today maintain an "East German Heimatstube" yet at the Municipal Museum.

Incorporations

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on December 31, 1971, the two previously independent communities Allmendfeld and Klein-Rohrheim were incorporated into the city of Gernsheim on a voluntary basis. Allmendfeld was founded in 1937, and Klein-Rohrheim was first mentioned in writing about 1200 years ago. For Allmendfeld and Klein-Rohrheim local districts with local advisory council and local councilor were formed according to the Hessian municipal code.

Culture and sights

Buildings

The structure of the town center is heterogeneous, which can be explained by the war damage; plaster with flat roofs dominates. Individual historic half-timbered houses from the 18th century have been preserved in Magdalenenstrasse and in the neighboring streets, for example the Zur Krone house (No. 37) with a corresponding emblem and inscription, the complex No. 64–68 and a long building at Peter-Schöffer -Platz (1711) with archway from 1500 and sundial from 1790 (house number 71).

  • Parish Church of St. Maria Magdalena
The church was built from 1750 to 1753 by the Mainz master builder Johann Valentin Thoman . Stylistically, it can be assigned to the formal language of Balthasar Neumann , who was active in the area ( Heusenstamm , Hofheim ): white plaster, alternating with red sandstone on the pilaster strips and portal, three-part west facade with a three-storey tower with oculus, arched windows and onion hood. The transept, side chapels and choir were added in 1887. Glass windows were created by Professor Otto Linnemann from Frankfurt in 1943 .

On March 26, 1945, the church was destroyed by American artillery fire. The reconstruction in the years 1947–1951 was headed by Hugo Becker from Mainz. The new church was consecrated on May 1st, 1951 by Bishop Albert Stohr . Renovation work took place in 2005/2006. The main altar by the local builder Andreas Diettmann (1783) with sculptures by Sebastian Pfaff was taken over to Gernsheim in 1953 by Bürstadt, for whose church it was created. In front of the church is the statue of St. Joseph , Gernsheim's patron saint (restored in 1979 after damage in 1945).

  • town hall
The twelve-axis classical building on the east side of the market square was designed by Georg Moller . It is a reconstruction because the town hall burned down in 1945. It was renovated in 2005/2006.
  • Municipal Museum
The so-called Peter-Schöffer-Haus is located on Peter-Schöffer-Platz and was set up as a museum in 1978 (renovated in 2002/2003 to mark the 500th anniversary of the printer's death). Before that, the building, which houses the city library and fire brigade museum, was the municipal elementary school, which was built in the mid-1830s (the building was inaugurated in 1836) on the site of the Kurmainzer moated castle, which had been demolished after its destruction.
  • City Hall
  • Old power station
Built in 1903 in Art Nouveau style, closed in 1954, today it is the gallery and teaching museum of the artist and publisher Mario Derra
To the north of the church is the former Capuchin monastery from 1929, in the style of Expressionism .
  • On the banks of the Rhine, in the immediate vicinity of the port and the ferry to Hamm am Rhein , there were remains of the former Rhine bridge until it was demolished in 2015 . It was blown up in March 1945 by the German Wehrmacht in front of the American units approaching from the other side of the Rhine, the direct connection to Hamm am Rhein has since been made possible by a ferry. The water police have moved into their quarters on the bunker of the bridge protection. The bunker is still part of the police station today. The next Rhine bridges are only in Worms (south direction) and Mainz (north direction).

  • Baroque church of St. Maria Magdalena (18th century)

  • Late Gothic pilgrimage church of Maria Einsiedel
