Gundernhausen (in the local dialect: Gunnerhaise ) is a district of the municipality of Roßdorf in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in southern Hesse .

geography

The place is about five kilometers southwest of Dieburg in the historic Bachgau region .

history

Archaeological finds show that the Gundernhausen district has been inhabited for thousands of years. Due to the place name ending with ... hausen , it is assumed that the settlement was founded by the Franks in the 8th or 9th century. In 763, Pippin the Younger donated today's Groß-Umstadt to the Fulda Abbey with all the accessories that Gundernhausen is said to have belonged to.

We find the first written mention of the complete place name as Gunthershusen in a document from the Fulda monastery from 1250. In another document from 1257, the abbot of Fulda renews the fiefs of Counts Dieter and Eberhard von Katzenelnbogen to Gundernhausen, among others. In the historical documents, the place is documented under changing place names over the centuries . Among other things as Gunderadeshusen 1318, Gunderdehusen 1423, Gundelhusen 1453, Gondernhusen 1492 and Gondernhaußen 1671.

At the end of the 14th century, there were disputes between the Counts of Katzenelnbogen and the city of Worms , in the course of which great damage occurred to the county. In the damage register from 1390 it is noted that seven ohms of wine were taken from Kunz Ulrich von Gundernhausen. This gives an indication of Weinbach activities around Gundernhausen.

In 1479, when the Counts von Katzenelnbogen died out, Gundernhausen fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse . In 1526 Gundernhausen became Protestant together with the Landgraviate. The Anna bell, cast in 1520, has been preserved in the Protestant church to this day. Gundernhausen, which originally belonged to the mother church in Lengfeld , received its own parish in 1412.

In the Thirty Years' War Gundernhausen was heavily damaged twice. In 1622 the village was robbed by the troops of Count von Mansfeld , and around 1636 the Swedish troops camped on what is still known as the Schwedenrain. Almost all residents fell victim to the plague that followed; For years the place with the dilapidated houses was uninhabited. The oldest church book still in existence was started in 1599 by Pastor Theoderich Kraft Weidling and ended in 1634 when he died of the plague.

After the Thirty Years War, the place was slowly repopulated. The driving force was the two farms located in the district.

In the transition from the 18th to the 19th century, French and other troops were billeted. In 1813 the Dieburger Mark was dissolved and Gundernhausen was granted community forest proportionally to its then population.

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

»Gundernhausen (L. Bez. Reinheim) Lutheran parish village; lies on a large plain, 2 St. from Reinheim, and has 108 houses and 735 inhabitants, who are Lutheran except for 2 Cath., 1 Reform and 5 Jews. Among these are 90 tradespeople and 104 farmers and day laborers. One can find a 1747 newly built church, of Grolman'sche Lehengut, with a beautifully landscaped garden and 434 here 3 / 4 acre arable and meadows, a rectory, a new school building, a flour mill and a good to just noticed fief Good Ziegelhütte. Gundernhausen is the seat of the tax commissioner and the birthplace of the botanist Joh. Christoph Röhling, who was born on April 27, 1757. - The place appears in documents under the name Cuncherateshusen and was a fiefdom of Fulda, with which the counts of Katzenellenbogen were enfeoffed in addition to the court, and which fiefdom was renewed in 1250. The church was a branch of Roßdorf and was only elevated to a parish church after the Reformation. "

In 1863 the first association was founded, the beekeeping association. This was followed by several choral societies (from 1865), the first gymnastics club (1905) and later the rabbit breeding club (1912). In 1897 Gundernhausen was connected to the rail network when the first train stopped at the former station on the Darmstadt Ost – Groß -zimmer line. Electric lighting was installed in 1913 and a public water supply was created in 1934 through the laid water pipe network.

Like all German communities, Gundernhausen suffered from the Second World War , and 102 men and women did not survive this decisive event. The war ended for Gundernhausen with the invasion of American troops on March 25, 1945.

Gundernhausen took in over 400 people who had been expelled from their homeland or who had been bombed out between 1946 and 1955; the village changed, new building areas were opened up, the population doubled, a new school was inaugurated, and the land consolidation carried out in 1957 changed the landscape.

Territorial reform

On January 1, 1977, as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the previously independent municipality of Gundernhausen was incorporated into Roßdorf by means of state law , at the same time the district of Darmstadt-Dieburg was founded, to which Gundernhausen has belonged since then. Local districts according to the Hessian municipal code were not established.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Gundernhausen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Gundernhausen was in the judicial district of the district of Ober-Ramstadt . The centering was divided into so-called "rice car," each of which a top magistrate board that the Zentgrafen were subordinated.
