Hähnlein (dialect: Hejne) is one of three districts of the municipality of Alsbach-Hähnlein in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in southern Hesse .

geography

The place is in the west of the municipality Alsbach-Hähnlein on the edge of the mountain road in the Rhine plain and west of the federal highway 5 and east of the federal highway 67 . To the east of Hähnlein is Alsbach, to the south is Rodau (Bergstrasse district) and to the west is Gernsheim (Groß-Gerau district).

history

Hähnlein was first mentioned in a document in 1333 in the Lorsch Codex under the name Hennechen . The core of the later village settlement formed the Hainer Hof , the later rescue house and today's mayor's office. The place name has nothing to do with a rooster . Spellings like Hainlin or Hainlein show that the name comes from Hagen , a settlement in the forest. In 1333 Hähnlein with the village and estates belongs to Konrad von Bickenbach . Later the village belongs to the Counts Erbach zu Erbach . As a result of the Bavarian feud (1504/1505), Hähnlein came into the possession of the Landgraviate of Hesse . In 1571 the Counts of Dietz owned the village of Hähnlein, while the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt held the high authority . After the Counts of Dietz died out, the property fell to the Landgraves of Hesse in 1577. In the following years parts of Hähnlein belonged to Kurmainz , only in 1717 Hähnlein completely came to Hessen.

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

»Hähnlein (L. Bensheim district) Lutheran parish village; is 1 1 ⁄ 2   hours from Bensheim in a damp, almost marshy area, and is surrounded on two sides by a meadow. There are 114 houses and 743 inhabitants who are Lutheran except for 3 Catholics, 1 Reform and 42 Jews. Hahnlein belonged to the Tannenberg Castle, and with part of this rule came to a subsidiary branch of the Lords of Bickenbach, and from this to the Counts of Erbach. This place, which Hessen has probably owned since the Bavarian feud, used to be just a farm, and next to it were the farms Eschhof, Weilerhof, Schachhof, Spießhof, Kohlhof and Bauschhof. These farms gradually died and the residents moved to Hahnlein. After the 30 Years War the place consisted of 14 mostly deserted apartments. The qrt had a small chapel; but after Alsbach was raised to a separate parish, Hähnlein was parish there. In the meantime the place received a new church in 1727, and in 1741 it was elevated to a parish church. "

Territorial reform

On January 1, 1977, in the course of administrative reform in Hesse , the previously independent municipalities Alsbach and Haehnlein force state law the new municipality Alsbach together . The administrative seat was Alsbach. On January 1, 1978 this parish was renamed Alsbach-Hähnlein . Local districts according to the Hessian municipal code were not established.

The two most famous politicians in the village were Johann Valentin May, during whose term of office the building of the Hähnlein Church fell, and Jakob May, who personally participated as a resistance fighter in the planning of the Stauffenberg assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler. It is known that Johann Valentin May was initially not at all satisfied with the actual church. He didn't want to put up a small shed for the Hahnlein citizens, but a large church. To do this, he had the stones of the actual church ripped out of the ground and built today's church, which at that time was as big as if the Cologne Cathedral were to be placed in the village today. In recognition of this, the Johann-Valentin May Straße in Hähnlein was named after him. The SPD politician Jakob May participated in the planning of the assassination attempt by Graf von Stauffenberg. Even the SPD greats Carlo Mierendorff and Wilhelm Leuschner visited May, who today have street names in town. After the war, May was appointed mayor by the Allies. In 1946 he died of a heart attack at the age of 60.
