history

Overview

Groß Gerau - Excerpt from the Topographia Hassiae by Matthäus Merian the Younger 1655

Even in Roman times, today's urban area was of greater importance. The Groß-Gerau fort in the area of ​​the “Auf Esch” / Fasanerie district secured the bridgehead of the Roman provincial capital Mainz, even before the Limes was built and what is now southern Hesse became Roman. The route of the B 44 from the southern tip of the Fasanerie to Dornheim is identical to the Roman road from Mainz via Groß-Gerau to Ladenburg ; she ran towards the south gate of the fort. With the establishment of the Civitas Auderiensium , the fort was abandoned and the vicus camp remained as a market place. The proximity of this vicus to the later mentioned medieval moated castle Dornberg will not be a coincidence.

The Gerauer Mark (the forest area between Wallerstädten and Messel) was first mentioned in a document in 910 in a deed of donation from Archbishop Hatto I of Mainz . Subsequently, the lords of Dornberg ruled the region, who may have been servants of the Hohenstaufen emperors in the Frankfurt Palatinate (1160 mention of the moated castle in the area of ​​today's Dornberg, later Dornberg Castle ). After the lords of Dornberg died out, the Counts of Katzenelnbogen , who came from the Westerwald and Middle Rhine region, succeeded them and in 1398 obtained city rights for Groß-Gerau. In 1479, Count Philipp I the Elder of Katzenelnbogen died without a male successor and the county fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse .

In 1557 there were only three “well-established schools maintained from church funds” in the 35 parishes of the Upper County, namely in Darmstadt , Groß-Gerau and Zwingenberg . Before Landgrave Philipp von Hessen died in 1567, another was added in Auerbach. This makes Groß-Gerau one of the oldest school locations in Hessen. In 1578 the construction of the town hall began. This is where the jury and the landgrave appointed mayors met. The Rathaus-Apotheke has existed since 1701 and is the oldest pharmacy in the Upper County outside of Darmstadt.

The Groß-Gerau city church was set on fire in 1634 by imperial troops during the Thirty Years' War . Landgrave Ludwig VI. von Hessen-Darmstadt renewed the town charter in 1663 against a payment of 24,000 guilders. These rights included the elimination of compulsory labor, the collection of market stall fees, representation in the state parliament and the right to drive Jews out of the city. Administratively, Groß-Gerau in Hesse was part of the " Rüsselsheim Office " until 1821 . Due to the administrative reform of 1821 in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the place was assigned to the Dornberg district of the Starkenburg province .

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

“Großgerau ( L. Bez. Dornberg ) city; lies on the Schwarzbach, on the Chaussee that runs from Darmstadt to Oppenheim, 3 hours from Darmstadt, 3 hours from Oppenheim, 4 hours from Mainz, 6 hours from Frankfurt and 1 ⁄ 4 hours from Dornberg; is surrounded by a moat filled with water, has wide, friendly streets and a few covered gates. There are 235 houses and 1,719 inhabitants, the, 13 Cath., 1 Reform. And 45 Jews excepted, all of whom are Lutheran, and among these 118 farmers, 254 artisans and 67 day laborers. The city is the seat of the regional court, the rent office and the tax commissioner. Großgerau has a large old church in which a count. Katzenellenbogensche line is buried, and its high tower is visible from afar because of its white paint. also 2 parsonages and 2 school houses, a synagogue, 1 Jewish burial place and a post office. There are 5 shopkeepers and 2 cattle markets every year. The hospital for the poor has a not insignificant fortune. There are peat graves in the area. - Großgerau already appears as an imperial village in the times of Emperor Heinrich II. This emperor gave the Curtis Gerau, at that time part of the county of Adelbert, to Würzburg in 1013. The Würzburg property was lost, however, and the Curtis came to a line of the Counts of Henneberg in the Upper Rhinegau, who enfeoffed the Lords of Dornberg with it in the 12th century. After the departure of the Lords of Dornberg, in 1259, Großgerau came to the Counts of Katzenellenbogen, who introduced the place into the Würzburg fiefdoms. Würzburg enfeoffed these counts too, until the Counts of Henneberg reasserted their rights, but renounced it in 1521 against Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous. Großgerau mainly came up under the Counts of Katzenellenbogen, and it was before the castle in Darmstadt was built. to a certain extent the capital of the Upper County of Katzenellenbogen. No less did the many parish places and the close residence of the Counts of Katzenellenbogen in Dornberg Castle, which contributed a lot to the Flor. In 1398, Großgerau received town and market rights from King Wenceslaus. The church used to have 9 altars and the places Dornberg, Kleingerau, Worfelden, Berkach, Wallerstädten, Büttelborn, Wixhausen. Graefenhausen. Weiterstadt and Braunshardt become branches, which are now separated except for the first four. Großgerau was also the seat of superintendents several times. In the Thirty Years' War the place was so badly damaged that no more than 50 residents and 39 houses remained. The church was also burned down in 1634, and in April and May 1647 the city was the headquarters of Marshal Türenne. "

1832 Province Starkenburg is then in circles divided and Gross-Gerau for Gross-Gerau district , initially based in Dornberg. It belongs to this group until today, only interrupted by the division of Starkenburg into administrative districts. From 1848 to 1852 it was part of the Darmstadt administrative region . 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, Groß-Gerau becomes the district town of the Groß-Gerau district, which has remained almost unchanged to this day.

The competent jurisdiction was during the affiliation to Hesse, from 1821 to 1879 the district court Großgerau and from 1879 the district court Groß-Gerau .

In the 19th century, Groß-Gerau became the district town of the Groß-Gerau district in the Starkenburg province in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and industrialization began here too . Due to the connection to the Hessische Ludwigsbahn with the lines Darmstadt - Mainz 1858 and Frankfurt am Main - Mannheim 1879 ( Riedbahn ) a diverse commercial life could develop. The city became the seat of metal processing (FAGRO), canning factories (Helvetia), cheese factories ( Mainz cheese is produced in GG ) and the sugar industry. From 1869 to 1871, Groß-Gerau was the epicenter of a series of around 2000, mostly weak, earthquakes. In 1896 the construction of a steam tram from Darmstadt via Groß-Gerau to Oppenheim was discussed, but not realized.

In June 1994, Groß-Gerau was the “secret capital” of Hesse as the venue for the Hessentag for ten days.

In the present, the overall economic situation in the city of Groß-Gerau and especially in the district of Groß-Gerau has deteriorated. A relatively high level of indebtedness and the strict control of public budgets (especially the district) by the Darmstadt Regional Council are evidence of this.

Incorporations

On April 1, 1939, Dornberg was incorporated into the city of Groß-Gerau. As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the community of Berkach voluntarily incorporated itself into Groß-Gerau on December 31, 1971. Finally, the city Gross-Gerau and the communities were on 1 January 1977. virtue of state law Dornheim and Wallerstädten the new city Gross-Gerau together . Local districts according to the Hessian municipal code were not established.

traffic

The Groß-Gerau train station
The Südzucker AG plant, which has now been closed and demolished
Frigoropa Groß-Gerau

The B 42 / L 3482 and B 44 cross in Groß-Gerau . The north and south motorway junctions create connections in all directions via the A 67 . The surrounding large cities are also close by ( Darmstadt 11 km, Wiesbaden 23 km, Mainz 18 km and Frankfurt am Main 28 km). The Frankfurt Airport can be reached by motorway in about 15 minutes.

In addition, Groß-Gerau is connected to two railway lines that intersect at approximately right angles on the eastern outskirts. There are the Rhein-Main-Bahn Mainz - Darmstadt - Aschaffenburg and the Riedbahn Mannheim - Frankfurt . Both lines are double-track and electrified. There are three train stations in the city:

  • Station Gross Gerau , just north of the Rhine-Main Railway of the city center
  • Groß Gerau-Dornberg station on the Riedbahn, set off a little to the south-east of the city center in an industrial area
  • Groß Gerau-Dornheim stop , also on the Riedbahn, about four kilometers further south in the village of the same name.

There are two connecting curves between the railway lines on the Mannheim-Mainz and Mannheim-Darmstadt routes. Both play a role primarily in freight transport. There is no passenger traffic between the train stations Groß Gerau and Groß Gerau-Dornberg. The "misspelling" of the station names without a hyphen is based on the different spelling rules of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Kingdom of Prussia. The Royal Prussian and Grand Ducal Hessian State Railways (KPuGHStE) named the stations according to the Prussian spelling rules.
