history

From the beginning to the 18th century

Glattbach arose in the area of ​​the former "Mark Heppenheim" which designated an administrative district of the Franconian Empire . On January 20, 773, Charlemagne donated the city of Heppenheim and its district, the extensive "Mark Heppenheim", to the imperial monastery of Lorsch . After long disputes, the Electoral Palatinate and the Archdiocese of Mainz were able to agree on the inheritance from the Lorsch Abbey at the beginning of the 14th century and the Palatinate parts to which Glattbach also belonged were administered by the Lindenfels District Bailiwick, which also exercised jurisdiction.

The earliest surviving documentary mention of the place as Gladbach dates back to 1356, when Count Palatine Ruprecht leased 13½ Huben in Gladbach, Winkel and Schlierbach. Within the Office Lindenfels the place to hear Thal centering the centering court only in Glattbach, later in Ellenbach and most recently in Schlierbach was held. Together with Lindenfels, the court had a place of execution in the "Faustenbacher Hecken auf dem Bühel". Thalzent had to bear half the costs for their maintenance . In its seal, the Central Court had a shield with 3 fields. In the first field there was the Palatinate lion , in the second the Bavarian diamonds and in the third, lowest field, a boy on a hill with a ball floating over his head.

In the early days of the Reformation , the Palatinate rulers openly sympathized with the Lutheran faith, but it was not until Ottheinrich (Elector from 1556 to 1559) that the official transition to Lutheran teaching took place. After that, his successors and inevitably the population changed several times between the Lutheran , Reformed and Calvinist religions. With the Reformation and its introduction, the Reformed parish arose in Schlierbach under Friedrich III , to which the Kolmbach , Glattbach, Winkel , Eulsbach , Erlenbach and Seidenbach branches belonged according to the Heidelberg Oberamtscompetenzbuch from 1610 . After the rectory in Schlierbach was destroyed by fire in the Thirty Years War , Glattbach is run as a branch of Lindenfels. Later a pastor was reinstated in Schlierbach and from 1650 there were church records again.

In 1613 Glattbach had: »10 houses , 6 serf men and 5 women. The personal tax for a man was 12 pfennigs and an old chicken, for a woman a document penny. 2 men were serfs to Starkenburg. "

At the end of the Thirty Years' War (1648), like many areas of the Electoral Palatinate, the place was almost deserted. After the devastating war, the Electoral Palatinate pursued a policy of resettlement in its area characterized by religious tolerance. But the wars that broke out in the troubled times that followed, such as the War of the Palatinate Succession (1688–1697) and the War of Spanish Succession (1701–1714) destroyed many of the efforts and tens of thousands of Palatine emigrated and the like. a. to North America and Prussia.

From a religious point of view, too, the time after the Thirty Years' War was marked by great unrest. In 1685 the Reformed Palatinate-Simmern line died out and the Catholic cousins ​​of the Palatinate-Neuburg line took over the government in the Electoral Palatinate with Elector Philipp Wilhelm . This ordered the equality of the Catholic faith in the predominantly Protestant Palatinate. Even during the War of the Palatinate Succession, France tried to advance the Counter-Reformation in the conquered areas and founded a number of Catholic parishes. The war ended in 1697 with the Peace of Rijswijk , which strengthened the position of the then reigning Catholic Elector Johann Wilhelm . This led to the decree of the Simultaneum on October 26, 1698 . According to this, the Catholics were entitled to use all reformed institutions such as churches, schools and cemeteries, while the reverse was not allowed. Furthermore, the reformed church administration, which had been independent until then, was subordinated to the sovereign. Only at the instigation of Prussia in 1705 came the so-called Palatinate church division in which the simultanum was reversed and the churches in the country, including rectories and schools, were divided between the Reformed and the Catholics in a ratio of five to two. There were special regulations for the three capitals Heidelberg , Mannheim and Frankenthal as well as the regional authorities Alzey , Kaiserslautern , Oppenheim , Bacharach and Weinheim . In cities with two churches, one should go to Protestants and the other to Catholics; in the others, where there was only one church, the choir was separated from the nave by a wall, and the one to the Catholics and the other to the Protestants. The Lutherans were only allowed those churches that they owned in 1624 or had built afterwards.

Until 1737 the Lindenfels Office was under the Heidelberg Oberamt , after which Lindenfels became an independent Oberamt . In 1784 Gladbach is described as a village made up of eight hubs . At that time 29 families with 128 souls lived there in 14 houses and 3 mills. The district contained 240 acres of fields, 82 acres of meadows, 9 ½ acres of gardens and 16 acres of forest. The tithe was referring to a third of the spiritual administration of the pen "to the Holy Spirit" in Heidelberg. The Electoral Palatinate received two thirds of three hubs that the Rodensteiner had previously as a fief and for five hubs the Ulner von Dieburg received two thirds of the tenth. The administrative and sovereign assignment for Glattbach was the Thal-Zent of the Oberamt Lindenfels of the Pfalzgrafschaft bei Rhein (in the "Electorate of Pfalzbayern" from 1777).

19th century until today

Glattbach becomes Hessian

The late 18th and early 19th centuries brought far-reaching changes to Europe. As a result of the Napoleonic Wars , the " Left Bank of the Rhine " and thus the left bank of the Rhine were annexed by France as early as 1797 . At the last session of the Perpetual Reichstag in Regensburg in February 1803, the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss was passed, which implemented the provisions of the Peace of Luneville and reorganized the territorial situation in the Holy Roman Empire (German Nation) . He ordered the dissolution of the Electoral Palatinate and assigned the area of ​​the Oberamt Lindenfels to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt as compensation for lost areas on the left bank of the Rhine. There the "Oberamt Lindenfels" was initially continued as the Hessian district bailiff . Under pressure from Napoleon , the Rhine Confederation was founded in 1806 , this happened when the member territories left the empire at the same time. 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 Hesse , against placing high military contingents in France and joining the Confederation of the Rhine , otherwise he was threatened with invasion. In the Grand Duchy, the area of ​​the "Lindenfels Office" was split up in 1812 and Glattbach was assigned to the Fürth office . The superordinate administrative authority was the "Administrative Region Darmstadt" which from 1803 was also referred to as the "Principality of Starkenburg". After Napoléon's final defeat, the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15 also regulated the territorial situation for Hesse, and in 1816 provinces were formed in the Grand Duchy of Hesse. The area previously known as the “Principality of Starkenburg”, which consisted of the old Hessian territories south of the Main and the territories on the right bank of the Rhine that were added from 1803, was renamed “Province of Starkenburg” .

In 1821, as part of a comprehensive administrative reform, the district bailiffs in the provinces of Starkenburg and Upper Hesse of the Grand Duchy were dissolved and districts were introduced, with Glattbach becoming part of the Lindenfels district . As part of this reform, regional courts were also created, which were now independent of the administration. The district court districts corresponded in scope to the district council districts and the district court of Fürth was responsible as the court of first instance for the district of Lindenfels . This reform also arranged the administrative administration at the municipal level. In addition to Glattbach , the mayor's office in Schlierbach was also responsible for Kolmbach , Seidenbach , Seidenbuch and Winkel . According to the municipal ordinance of June 30, 1821, there were no longer appointments of mayors , but an elected local council, which was composed of a mayor, aldermen and council.

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

“Glattbach (L. Bez. Lindenfels) reform. Filialdorf; is ½ hour from Lindenfels on the Thalbach and has 25 houses and 206 inhabitants, up to 14 Luth. are reformed. Among these are 6 farmers, 15 artisans and 5 day laborers. The place has 3 grinding mills, 1 cutting mill and 1 courtyard called the hunter's hut. In 1369 only seven hubs were counted here. Glattbach came from Churpfalz to Hessen in 1802. "

In 1832 the administrative units were further enlarged and circles were created. After the reorganization announced on August 20, 1832, there should only be the districts of Bensheim and Lindenfels in the future in Süd-Starkenburg, the district of Heppenheim should fall into the district of Bensheim. Even before the ordinance came into force on October 15, 1832, it was revised so that instead of the Lindenfels district, the Heppenheim district was formed as the second district, to which Glattbach now belonged, alongside the Bensheim district. After the district was formed in 1832, Glattbach was administered by the mayor's office in Kolmbach . In 1842 the tax system in the Grand Duchy was reformed and the tithe and the basic pensions (income from property) were replaced by a tax system of the kind that still exists today.

As a result of the March Revolution of 1848, with the "Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords" of April 15, 1848, the special rights of the class were finally repealed. In addition, in the provinces, the districts and the district administration districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished on July 31, 1848 and replaced by "administrative districts", whereby the previous districts of Bensheim and Heppenheim were combined to form the administrative district of Heppenheim . Just four years later, in the course of the reaction era, they returned to the division into districts and Glattbach became part of the newly created Lindenfels district .

From 1839 the Nibelungenstrasse was expanded from Bensheim into the Lautertal to Lindenfels, thus creating an important contribution to improving the infrastructure of the front Odenwald . A further improvement was achieved with the opening of the Main-Neckar Railway in 1846, which initially connected Bensheim with Langen , Darmstadt and Heppenheim and a little later extended to Frankfurt and Mannheim .

The population and cadastral lists recorded in December 1852 showed for Glattbach: Reformatory branch village with 170 inhabitants. This includes the Hof Jägerhütte. The district consists of 922 acres , including 208 acres of arable land, 166 acres of meadows and 257 acres of forest.

In the statistics of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, based on December 1867, the mayor of Klombach, 24 houses, 202 inhabitants, the district of Lindenfels, the district court of Fürth, the Protestant Reformed parish Schlierbach with the dean's office in Lindenfels and the Catholic parish of Lindenfels are recorded for the branch village Glattbach of the dean's office in Heppenheim. The Jägerhütte with 6 residents is located in the district.

In 1870, the Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck provoked the Franco-German War with the so-called Emser Depesche in which the Grand Duchy of Hesse took part as a member of the North German Confederation on the side of Prussia . Even before its official end on May 10, 1871, the southern German states joined the North German Confederation and on January 1, 1871 its new constitution came into force, with which it was now called the German Empire . On the German side, this war claimed around 41,000 deaths. With the Reich Coin Act , Germany only had one currency, the mark with 100 pfennigs as a sub-unit.

After the Grand Duchy of Hesse had been part of the German Empire from 1871, a series of administrative reforms were decided in 1874. The state-specific rules of procedure as well as the administration of the districts and provinces were regulated by district and provincial assemblies. The new regulation came into force on July 12, 1874 and also decreed the dissolution of the Lindenfels and Wimpfen districts and the incorporation of Glattbach into the Bensheim district .

Time of world wars

On August 1, 1914, the First World War broke out and put an end to the positive economic development throughout the German Empire . When the armistice was signed after the German defeat on November 11, 1918, Glattbach also had nine casualties, while the war cost a total of around 17 million human lives. The end of the German Empire was thus sealed, and the troubled times of the Weimar Republic followed. In the period from 1921 to 1930, there were 566,500 emigrants in Germany who tried to escape the difficult conditions in Germany.

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, which marked the end of the Weimar Republic and the beginning of the National Socialist dictatorship. In November 1938 the so-called Reichskristallnacht brought hardship and misery to the Jewish fellow citizens. Synagogues were burned down and the homes and businesses of Jewish families devastated.

The Hessian provinces of Starkenburg, Rheinhessen and Upper Hesse were abolished in 1937 after the provincial and district assemblies were dissolved in 1936. On November 1, 1938, a comprehensive regional reform came into force at the district level. In the former province of Starkenburg, the Bensheim district was particularly affected, as it was dissolved and most of it was added to the Heppenheim district. The district of Heppenheim also took over the legal successor to the district of Bensheim and was given the new name Landkreis Bergstrasse .

On September 1, 1939, when German troops marched into Poland, the Second World War began , the effects of which were even more dramatic than the First World War and the number of victims estimated at 60 to 70 million people. 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. On March 22nd, the 3rd US Army crossed the Rhine near Oppenheim and occupied Darmstadt on March 25th. In the first hours of March 26, 1945, American units crossed the Rhine near Hamm and south of Worms, from where they advanced on a broad front towards the Bergstrasse. On March 27, the American troops were in Lorsch, Bensheim and Heppenheim and a day later Aschaffenburg am Main and the western and northern parts of the Odenwald were occupied. The war in Europe ended with the unconditional surrender of all German troops, which came into effect on May 8, 1945 at 11:01 p.m. Central European Time. Glattbach had about 15 fallen or missing soldiers in this war.

The Grand Duchy of Hesse was a member state of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866 and then a federal state of the German Empire . It existed until 1919, after the First World War, the Grand Duchy for was republican written People's State of Hesse . In 1945 after the end of the Second World War , the area of ​​today's Hesse was in the American zone of occupation and by order of the military government, Greater Hesse was created , from which the state of Hesse emerged in its current borders.

Post-war and present

As the population figures from 1939 to 1950 show, Glattbach also had to cope with many refugees and displaced persons from the former German eastern regions after the war .

In 1961 the district size was given as 231  ha , 56 ha of which were forest.

In the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse , the place joined the town of Lindenfels on December 31, 1970, together with the communities of Eulsbach , Schlierbach and Winkel . For Glattbach, as for all the towns incorporated into Lindenfels, a local district with a local advisory board and mayor was set up in accordance with the Hessian municipal code.

Courts in Hessen

The jurisdiction of the Oberamt Lindenfels was transferred to the new justice office in Fürth in 1813. With the formation of the regional courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Fürth regional court was the court of first instance from 1821 . On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to the Fürth Local Court and assigned to the district of the Regional Court Darmstadt .

Culture and sights

»In the narrow part of the Kolmbach valley, located on the partly steep slopes, there are a number of stately court rides in Glattbach, which are based on the course of the stream and probably initially belonged to a forest hoof village. The houses in the courtyards, which are mostly built on three sides, are two-story and well-timbered from the first half of the 19th century. The gable sides face the street and they have gable roofs. In Glattbach there were at times three flour mills and a wood cutting mill that are no longer in operation, as the importance of hydropower has declined from year to year. The old mill wheel, from 1946, can still be seen today at Bachgasse 2. «()

traffic

The state road L 3099 runs through Glattbach, which branches off in the core community of Fürth from the federal road 460 known as Siegfriedstrasse and the associated federal road 38 and leads through the Schlierbach valley to Kolmbach , where it joins the federal road 47 known as the Nibelungenstrasse . In the through-road of the L 3099, the district road K 55 branches off, leads through the western part of Glattbach and then turns to Seidenbuch and reaches this place, which is located high up on the northern slope of the Krehberg, after two switchbacks. From there the road curves to the west and north and thus opens up the villages of Schannenbach, Knoden and Breitenwiesen before it joins the B 47 at Gadernheim .
