history
overview
According to some local researchers , the area around Hüttenfeld is already mentioned in the Nibelungenlied . The area on the Spissart, the so-called Viernheimer Spitz , is supposed to correspond to the Speßhart mentioned in the Nibelungenlied .
A large number of old field names indicate land features that no longer exist. There is now a lake in the well hump , as the material was used to build the A5. The sand of the witch's hump was removed to clear a swamp. The Hegwald was felled after the war. The circular waste dump is in the crooked lake today.

Nikolaus Hamm, Valentin Jakob, Johann Walter and Anton Rößling were the first settlers to settle on the "Lampertheimer Seewiesen" at the beginning of the 19th century. The settlement was given the name Hüttenfeld on July 20, 1813, based on the customs house "Lampertheimer Hütte" between Kurmainz and Kurpfalz , which was located here until 1728 and then had to give way to a manorial lake inn. The order of the Grand Duke of Hesse read: "His Royal Highness, our most brilliant Grand Duke has deigned to order that the branch, otherwise called 'Lampertheimer Hütte', should be called Hüttenfeld in future" . The tenant of the Hütten-Hofgut, who was also the customs collector for what is now the Baden border, was given the office of baton holder in the same year . During this time, Hüttenfeld primarily operated the lake economy on what is now Lake Lorsch. This lake was also regularly drained to provide grazing land for livestock .
As the places Lampertheim Hofheim included the Lampertheimer hut to the Bishopric of Worms and came in 1803 based on the " Reichsdeputationshauptschluss conclusion ," the territorial conditions in the kingdom newly regulated, the Hesse-Darmstadt . The occasion was the conquests of Napoleon , who had extended the French state border to the Rhine. This last law of the old empire implemented the provisions of the peace at Luneville . During the Napoleonic Wars , under pressure from Napoleon in 1806, the Grand Duchy of Hesse was created , into which the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt was merged. The Grand Duchy of Hesse was a member state of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866 and then a federal state of the German Empire . It existed until 1919, after the First World War, the Grand Duchy for was republican written People's State of Hesse . After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the area of today's Hesse was in the American zone of occupation and the state of Hesse was established within its current boundaries following instructions from the military government .
Many of the hut fields work on Gut Rennhof, which belongs to the Neuschloß hunting lodge . The stagecoach connection from Darmstadt to Mannheim used to go through Hüttenfeld. Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig came to Hüttenfeld to hunt deer, and his brother-in-law Nikolaus II , the Tsar of Russia, also visited Hüttenfeld several times.
The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Hüttenfeld in 1829:
»Hüttenfeld (L. Bez. Heppenheim) evangel. Protest. Filialdorf is 2 St. from Heppenheim and has 18 houses and 157 inhabitants, 93 of which are evangelicals. Protest. and 64 are Catholic. Hüttenfeld came to Hessen in 1802. "
The administrative history in Hessen shares Hüttenfeld with Lampertheim. In the statistics of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, Hüttendorf is listed in 1861 as a branch village of Lampertheim, where the mayor's office is also located, with 47 houses and 319 inhabitants. As early as 1853, the Frankfurt banker Baron von Rothschild built the Rennhof Palace, which today houses the Lithuanian secondary school.
A list of residents from August 17, 1924 shows that of the 496 residents, 365 were Protestant and 131 were Catholic. There are also the typical Hüttenfeld family names Ehret, Rhein, Moos, Eichenauer, Schollmaier, Schmidt, Delp, Falkenstein, Hilsheimer, Schuster, Wiegand, Grieser, Müller, Rößling, Ringenwald, Matecki, Umbach and Keller. Until the end of the Second World War, there were hardly more than 20 different families in Hüttenfeld, a situation that only changed with the arrival of expellees and other new citizens in the 1960s and 1970s.
In 1983 the Rennhof district of Hemsbach was incorporated into Hüttenfeld through a state treaty between Hesse and Baden-Württemberg . The ratification of the State Treaty takes place on March 18, the relocation of the place name sign was carried out and celebrated on July 21, 1983.
In 2013, Hüttenfeld will celebrate the 200th anniversary of its naming with a series of events.
Time of world wars
On August 1, 1914, the First World War broke out and put an end to the positive economic development throughout the German Empire . When the armistice was signed after the German defeat on November 11, 1918, Hüttenfeld also had casualties to mourn, while the war cost a total of around 17 million human lives. The end of the German Empire was thus sealed, and the troubled times of the Weimar Republic followed. In the period from 1921 to 1930, there were 566,500 emigrants in Germany who tried to escape the difficult conditions in Germany.
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, which sealed the end of the Weimar Republic and the beginning of the National Socialist dictatorship. In Hesse, on July 3, 1933, the "Law for the implementation of field clearing for the purpose of creating jobs in the course of the redevelopment" was passed. In 13 municipalities in the Starkenburg province, including Hüttenfeld, the field clearing procedure was ordered over an area of 200,000 ha. In the course of this amelioration and settlement program, the two places Riedrode and Worms-Rosengarten were created .
On September 1, 1939, when German troops marched into Poland, the Second World War began , the effects of which were even more dramatic than the First World War and the number of victims estimated at 60 to 70 million people. From 1944 onwards, the increased air war against Germany was also felt in Hüttenfeld. Large aviation associations flew over the place when they attacked the surrounding industrial cities of Ludwigshafen, Mannheim or Worms. In that year, work in the fields became life-threatening due to the continued low-flying attacks. Nobody was safe on the train or on the streets either. In the final phase of the Second World War in Europe, the American units reached the Rhine between Mainz and Mannheim in mid-March 1945. The bridgeheads on the left bank of the Rhine could not be held by the weak German forces, which led to the demolition of the Rhine bridges at Worms, Nordheim and Gernsheim on March 20. The remnants of the German 7th Army, which had withdrawn to the right bank of the Rhine, had to leave almost all of their heavy equipment such as tanks and artillery behind, which made a continuation of the fighting with the absolute air supremacy of the Americans and the lack of any German reserves actually completely pointless. On March 22nd, the 3rd US Army crossed the Rhine near Oppenheim and occupied Darmstadt on March 25th. From the American point of view, this made it necessary for the neighboring US 7th Army to move up quickly to secure its flanks. In preparation for their crossing of the Rhine, most of the Ried communities were shelled by American artillery on March 25th and on the night of March 26th. In the first hours of March 26, 1945, American troops crossed the Rhine near Hamm and south of Worms. The forces transferred at Worms took possession of the village of Rosengarten that night. To the east, the American units marched into Bürstadt in the early hours of the morning and advanced on today's B47 towards Lorsch. They advanced to the southeast in the direction of Lampertheim, with heavy fighting with German Wehrmacht units between Bürstadt and Lampertheim . Lampertheim itself was not defended, so that when the Americans marched in on the same day, no major damage was caused. After the capture of Lampertheim, the American tanks rolled on via Neuschloß and Hüttenfeld in the direction of Bergstrasse. On March 27, the American units were in Lorsch, Bensheim and Heppenheim, and a day later Aschaffenburg am Main and the western and northern parts of the Odenwald were occupied. The war in Europe ended with the unconditional surrender of all German troops, which came into effect on May 8, 1945 at 11:01 p.m. Central European Time. Hüttenfeld had about 20 fallen or missing soldiers in this war.
Seehof and Rennhof
To the north of Hüttenfeld, the independent municipality of Seehof existed from 1833 to 1855 with over 200 inhabitants. Due to poor agricultural conditions, most of the residents of the young community emigrated to the United States of America in 1853/1854 . The houses were auctioned and mostly rebuilt in Hüttenfeld, the church bell of their church was moved to the Hüttenfeld schoolhouse. That is why the Hüttenfeld elementary school has recently been renamed "Seehofschule". In 1983, the Rennhof district, which was previously part of Hemsbach, was incorporated.
population
Religions
Hüttenfeld was originally strongly influenced by Protestants. This changed when people moved in after the Second World War. There are two parishes in Hüttenfeld:
