geography

Groß-Gumpen is located southwest of the main town of Reichelsheim in the Vorderen Odenwald and extends along the east side of the Mergbach , a source brook of the Gersprenz , for more than three kilometers in a loosely scattered settlement up to the vicinity of the Gumpener Kreuz , the transition from the Gersprenz valley to the Weschnitz valley . The district of Groß-Gumpen extends from the Mergbach to the east to the wooded chain of hills accompanying the valley. The district area is 534 hectares (1961), 155 hectares of which are forested. The highest point of the district reaches about 470 meters on the southeast border in the summit region of the 478 meter Hohen Stotz . Ober-Klein-Gumpen is on the other side of the Mergbach and is connected to Groß-Gumpen in the local area by a bridge. Klein-Gumpen joins the stream downstream from Ober-Klein-Gumpen as a neighboring village.

history

While the form of the name Gumpen has been documented since 1357, while the existence of the village of Obern Gumpen has been documented since 1456.

The municipalities of Groß-Gumpen and Ober-Klein-Gumpen merged in 1968 to form the municipality of Gumpen . At that time the suburb had 268 inhabitants. Four years later and in the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse , the newly created community of Gumpen joined the community of Reichelsheim at the end of 1971. Since then, Groß-Gumpen and Ober-Klein-Gumpen have jointly formed the Gumpen district with a local advisory board and mayor .

With the street name Kriemhildstrasse , the federal road 47 / federal road 38, known as Nibelungenstrasse , leads through Groß-Gumpen and to the core community of Reichelsheim. It also connects the place via the Gumpener Kreuz with Bensheim and Weinheim an der Bergstrasse in the west and southwest.
