history
The place was first mentioned as Grebendorph in 1262. Even before this time, around the 8th century, there should have been a chapel . After the introduction of the Reformation in the Landgraviate of Hesse in 1526/27 and the associated secularization of the Haydau Monastery , the village became part of the Landgraviate of Hesse. In 1596, Landgrave Moritz von Hessen-Kassel gave the place to Bernhard von Keudel , who built a mansion there in 1610.
On December 31, 1971, the previously independent municipality of Grebendorf was incorporated into the new municipality of Meinhard as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
Culture and sights
church
In the place of today's Protestant parish church there was a smaller previous building from the 14th or 15th century, the nave of which was demolished around 1820 due to dilapidation. According to the plans of the Hessian master builder Johann Friedrich Matthei , a rectangular transversely oriented hall building with a projecting central projection was added to the church tower immediately afterwards . In the classical built style church was built in November 1821 inaugurated . Notable pieces of equipment include the pulpit from 1596 and the glass windows . The two colored windows, which show the blessing of the children and the wedding at Cana , were donated by a local factory owner couple in 1906 on the occasion of the silver wedding of Kaiser Wilhelm II and his wife.
The rotten wooden part of the church tower was removed in 1843 and the medieval substructure was raised by seven meters to its present height. In the tower there are three bells of different sizes from the years 1450, 1506 and 1520. Because of its artistic, structural and historical importance, the church is a protected cultural monument .
Village green
The Anger in the former village center of Grebendorf is a round square with a sandstone wall on which three linden trees stand. In its current form it was probably created around 1750. The trees were also planted at this time. The old linden tree , which was designated a natural monument in 1936 , is the last of five trees at the time. The other two linden trees are replanted from later years. Behind the fencing is a half-timbered house that was built around 1600 and was one of the few houses in the region to survive the Thirty Years War unscathed. In the middle of the 19th century, a three-story half-timbered building was added to the house. Up until the construction of the railway line around 1880, which the locals referred to as the cannon railway , the stables on the massive ground floor of the former village tavern were used by the carters to relax their horses.
As an old meeting place and court, the Anger is a cultural monument worthy of protection for reasons of local history .
