history

Habitzheim reign of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort in the 17th century

Habitzheim was first mentioned in 1262 as Habuchisheim .

Suffia bn mater Donei .... Graslac et Erimannus fratribus in Mohsbach quondam agrum in Habuchisheim obligans ita ejus memoria apud frares per .... haberetur

The place changed its name in the course of time, whereby the name Hoazem , which is still used in the dialect today, was also created around 1339 . Already 1323 had Reichsabtei Fulda a moated castle in the village, as Vorwerk for Veste Otzberg belonged.

Several noble families were fiefs of the Fulda abbots in the Middle Ages. In addition to the Bickenbachers , who are now extinct, this also included the Counts of Erbach and the Counts of Wertheim as well as the Palatinate Elector .

From 1561 the place to possession of the later counts and princes belonged Loewenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort . The former moated castle Habitzheim , today a Hofgut, is still in their possession (since 2014 Johanna Freifrau Heereman, née Princess zu Löwenstein). In addition to Habitzheim itself, the places Spachbrücken , Zeilhard , Groß-Zimmer and Georgenhausen belonged to this rule (this only from 1482 to before 1618). In 1806 the sovereignty of the small rulership of Habitzheim fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the course of the formation of the Rhine Confederation and the mediatization of the Princes of Löwenstein-Wertheim . As a result, the Habitzheim rule was a Hessian class rule , to which seven villages belonged in addition to the market town of Habitzheim. Until 1822 Habitzheim then belongs administratively to the civil office of Habitzheim .

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

»Habizheim (L. Bez. Breuberg) market town; is located on the Semderbach, 3 St. from Breuberg and belongs to the Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. The place has 140 houses and 1029 inhabitants, of which 648 are Lutherans, 304 are Catholics, 20 are Reform and 57 are Jews. One finds a Lutheran parish church, a Catholic. Chapel, which was donated by Eberhard Schenk von Erbach in 1412, a castle, now the prince. Löwenstein Rentei, with a large garden, 2 grinding and 2 oil mills. Every year 3 cattle and 3 grocer's markets are held. - The Habizheim Castle, to which Spachbrücken and Zeilhardt belonged, was given fief to Ulrich I von Bickenbach from the Fulda Abbey at the beginning of the 14th century. After Ulrich I's death without a male heir, the Fulda abbot Heinrich, in 1340, confiscated these fiefs, but lent them, in 1342, to his widow Elisabeth, a daughter of Johannes I, Lord of Limburg an der Lahn, and their two daughters, Agnes and Amene. By the fiefdom letter drawn up that year, the castle was divided into four parts, of which Ulrichs I, widow for herself and her daughters three, her cousin Conrad III. von Bickenbach, got a part. Through marriage and the further division of the Bickenbach estates, the three parts came to the tavern Eberhard von Erbach and the fourth to Count Gerhard von Reineck. Through the latter's daughter, Margarethe, this part came to Count Johann von Wertheim. Count Palatine Ruprecht der Aeltere acquired half of Umstadt from the Fulda Abbey in 1390, with all the teachings that depend on it, through purchase; whereby he had at the same time acquired the feudal right over Habizheim. As a result of this right, he enfeoffed Eberhard, Schenken von Erbach, with his part in the castle, village in 1397. Bailiwick and court of Habizheim. The Erbach taverns seem to have come into full possession of Habizheim only in 1406. In the Bavarian feud, Landgrave Wilhelm II took away the castle and its accessories; however, everything was soon restored to its previous state. In 1530, Schenk Valentin sold the fiefdom with the approval of Prince Elector Ludwig V of the Palatinate to the Counts, later Prince of Löwenstein, who also brought together the remaining parts of the estate. The castle made up one cent with the villages of Habizheim, Spachbrücken, Zeilhardt and Großzimmer, in which the princes of Löwenstein-Wertheim had sub-jurisdiction, while the local sovereigns (Hesse and Palatinate) had territorial sovereignty and all high authorities. The Palatinate rights came to Hesse in 1802, and in 1805 Hesse ceded sovereignty and the cent rights from Habizheim to Löwenstein-Wertheim by exchange. In 1806 Prince Constantin granted the place the privilege of holding three annual markets. Habizheim finally came under Hess in 1806. Sovereignty."

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Habitzheim voluntarily merged on December 31, 1971 with the communities of Hering, Lengfeld Nieder-Klingen, Ober-Klingen and Ober-Nauses to form the new community of Otzberg. For the six formerly independent municipalities, local districts with local advisory councils and local councilors were formed according to the Hessian municipal code.

The red arrow shows the location of the former Habitzheim moated castle, from which this area was probably controlled.
    Note : From around 1618 the Lords of Wallbrunn were the secular and spiritual heads of Georgenhausen. In 1649, after the Thirty Years' War , the von Walbrunn were so in debt that they sold Georgenhausen to the Kamptz zu Godow . The von Haxthausen estate and power in Georgenhausen inherited from him in 1671 . In 1806 the place as well as the Habitzheim rule came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . More about the rulership of the various places under the entry of the city of Reinheim , to which the districts Georgenhausen, Spachbrücken and Zeilhard belong today.
