history

Lützellinden was probably founded around 800 and was a rich farming community for many centuries . There are still some farms there.

In 1333 the western half of the former county of Gleiberg with Lützellinden fell to the Counts of Nassau-Weilburg . Due to an exchange of territory after the Congress of Vienna , the place came from the Duchy of Nassau to Prussia in 1816 .

Historically, Lützellinden was always oriented towards Wetzlar . Politically, the place has only been part of Gießen since 1979 - after the city ​​of Lahn was dissolved . Lützellinden was previously part of what was then the district of Wetzlar . The historical connection with Wetzlar is still visible today. It manifests itself in the fact that Lützellinden belongs to the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland and the Diocese of Limburg , while all other parts of Giessen belong to the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau and the Diocese of Mainz.

Other features Lützel Linden: There are not many, but different preserved in the state for the villages of the hut mountain typical old timbered - Hofreiten high Hoftoren 18th and 19th centuries. One of the oldest courtyard gates is at Lindenstrasse 19; it is labeled AD 1699. The pride of old houses and the craftsmanship of the old master craftsmen is not only evident on the front of the oak framework, such as B. the Adam-und-Eva-Haus in Schulstrasse, but continues into the courtyard side of the half-timbered riding. Until a few years ago there were still a number of women who only wore traditional costumes . "Platt" (Hüttenberger dialect) is still spoken today. At times, wood is still used in the bakery to bake traditional rye bread.

On January 1, 1977, the previously independent community became part of the Dutenhofen district of the newly founded city ​​of Lahn as part of the Hessian regional reform . When it was dissolved on August 1, 1979, Lützellinden was assigned to the city of Gießen as a district.

After the champions of the Regionalliga Süd-West 2004/2005 were refused the license for the 2nd Bundesliga in the 2005/2006 season for economic reasons, the club dissolved the formerly successful 1st women's team.

Successful coach Jürgen Gerlach was able to win the last German championship for the club with the female A-youth in the 2005/2006 season. But in October 2006 the association was dissolved by the majority of its members at the annual general meeting. Following the dissolution, the TSV 2006 Lützellinden was founded.

Special events

On September 28, 1980, the Gießen-Lützellinden airfield was the starting point for an event that was unique in the world. Jaromir Wagner, then 41 years old, was flying to New York (USA) standing on the wing of a twin-engine airplane ( Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander ). This achievement led to an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. The pure flight time was 46 hours with landings in Iceland, Greenland and Canada; the flight led over the legendary North Atlantic route, sometimes at temperatures as low as −40 ° C. The pilot Holger Groth and his copilot Alwin Lang carried out the spectacular flight as a visual flight without an autopilot and today's GPS system. Finally there was a sightseeing flight around Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. The record has not yet been surpassed.
