history

Haiger - Excerpt from the Topographia Hassiae by Matthäus Merian 1655

The first documentary mention of Haiger in the Lorsch Codex comes from the year 778: The noble Theutbirg donated her possessions in Haigrahe to the Lorsch Monastery on Bergstrasse . The donation was renewed and increased in 781. Haiger is the oldest of the three cities on the Dill, ahead of Dillenburg and Herborn . The former Haiger has its center on today's church hill. In the 9th century there was a baptistery and a royal court Heigera , which King Konrad I donated to the Walpurgis pen in Weilburg on April 14, 914, together with the market rights, the tithe and the third part of the royal shepherd . The market right must therefore have already been granted at this point in time. Up until the 10th century, Haiger was the center of the Haigerer Mark or the Haigergau , probably a Untergau of the Oberlahngau . Worms tradition shows that in 1048 Archbishop Eberhard von Trier and the Bishop of Worms consecrated the new construction or expansion of the Haiger city church, which is still Haiger's landmark today. Knight Udo von Haiger is mentioned on April 1st, 1159 as the first nobleman of the von Haiger family. The mention of Udo (presumably as a witness) takes place in the course of the enfeoffment of the Counts of Laurenburg with Nassau Castle by the Archbishop of Trier.

With the end of the Conradin family, the Haigerer Mark passed to the Count Palatine . They gave him as a fief to the Lords of Molsberg . These transferred the rule to the lower nobility "von Haiger". From the 13th century the Counts of Nassau increasingly penetrated the area of ​​the Haigerer Mark and the neighboring Herborn Mark . The Dernbacher feud broke out between Nassau and the Landgraves of Hesse . The Nassau counts were able to assert themselves on the Dill. In the early 14th century the judicial rights over Haiger finally came to the counts from the House of Nassau.

In 1457 the first Haiger iron smelter ("Haigerhütte") is mentioned. Iron ore was already being mined in the Haiger area at that time (see also the list of mines in Haiger ).

Around 1490, Hermann von Haiger and his son Jost von Haiger , the last Haiger knight, decorated the church choir with frescoes. Approx. 90 years later these are whitewashed and forgotten. They are not rediscovered until the beginning of the 20th century (1904).

During the Nassau rule, Haiger developed an urban area without granting city ​​rights . The location at the meeting of the three valleys Haigerbachtal, Aubachtal and Dilltal was conveniently located and close to the long-distance trade route from Cologne to Leipzig (“ Brabanter Strasse ”).

In 1603 the plague raged in the city. In November 1623, Spanish soldiers from the Don Lorenzo de Mestro Haiger regiment looted and pillaged. Before they left, the city caught fire due to inattention. 70 buildings, including 40 residential houses, went up in flames. The damage was estimated at half a million Reichstaler. At the beginning of winter, 250 Haiger residents were left with practically nothing. A short time after the fire, the plague broke out again and killed entire families.

An uprising in the city causes the citizens to receive their council six in 1672 , a say in city decisions through a representation of six councils.

On May 8, 1723, the entire city center of Haiger was destroyed by a fire. In a few hours, almost all the buildings within the city walls burned down. The church roof burned down, but not the church itself. The quick financial help from the surrounding principalities, cities and countries, as well as a generous donation from Princess Isabella (a "legacy of 400 Floren Capitäl!") Helped to alleviate the great need. The four-gate, tower-reinforced city wall, which also ran between the Aubach and the southern city limits, was seen as an obstacle to fire fighting and was laid down in 1824. This enabled the city to reorganize and expand as planned. Further city fires that caused greater damage took place in 1827 and 1829.

On February 23, 1849, a citizens' initiative of 56 marriageable men and 49 women thwarted the introduction of a municipal marriage tax of 10 guilders.

Haiger (steel engraving) around 1863

The Haiger train station was opened in the field in front of the city on January 12, 1862 and has been connecting Haiger with the world ever since. On December 17, 1898, a narrow-gauge railway that delivered ores from the Constanze mine to the station was opened. Pit the grace of God from the Hachelbach there. This station also became the starting point of the 12.3 kilometer Haiger – Breitscheid railway on December 15, 1926 .

Shortly before the start of the Second World War , several Jewish families lived in Haiger, who had fled or were killed after the occasional destruction in the so-called Reichskristallnacht and further hostility up to the outbreak of war in 1939. During the World War, numerous forced laborers and Russian prisoners of war were housed in Haiger and the surrounding area. A memorial not far from the central cemetery commemorates this.

During the Second World War, large parts of the Upper Town were also destroyed by Allied bombing. There were more than 72 dead and numerous injured. The main attacks took place on March 12 and 14, 1945 by the 8th US Air Force . In the years 1944–1945 there were numerous night and day attacks (presumably) by American fighter-bombers (popularly known as "Iron Gustav"). Presumably the Siegen-Giessen railway line was the main destination as well as numerous ammunition and supply trains that often came to a standstill at the old station. During air raids, u. a. the Catholic Church completed in 1930 (March 12) and the old school were badly damaged. Haiger was captured or liberated by parts of the US Army in April / May 1945 (1st US Army under Gen. Hodges). In the city center and around Haiger there were still scattered remnants of German troops, luck and chance prevented another devastating attack by Allied bombers.

Incorporations

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Flammersbach was incorporated into the town of Haiger on January 1, 1970 on a voluntary basis . On February 1, 1971, until then independent municipality was Rodenbach also voluntarily incorporated . The municipality of Dillbrecht followed on October 1, 1971.

On January 1, 1977, the previously independent communities of Allendorf , Fellerdilln , Haigerseelbach , Langenaubach , Offdilln , Roßbachtal , which had arisen on October 1, 1971 through the voluntary merger of the communities of Niederroßbach and Oberroßbach , Sechshelden , Steinbach and Weidelbach became part of the city by virtue of state law Haiger incorporated. Local districts were not established.

Naming

The city name Haiger comes from the Old Hessen: The large number of herons on the Haigerbach, Aubach and the dill contributed to the name “Reiherbach”, or “Heigerahe” in Old Hessen. This name consists of the terms "Heiger", meaning heron, and "Ahe", meaning stream or body of water. In the course of history, this spelling changed via the words → "Heigrahe" → "Heigera" → "Heigere" → "Heigerin" → "Heigre" → "Heigeren" → "Hegere" → "Hegera" → "Heygere" → "Heyger “→“ Heiger ”→“ Häger ”→ and“ Häyer ”towards the name Haiger. The bird in the Haiger coat of arms could also refer to the heron, as well as a change in the Nassau lion. Another, today rather rejected, interpretation of the name genesis sees the origin of the jay (from jay ). Is argued u. a. so that the bird in the city coat of arms does not resemble a heron.

Community partnerships

The partnership was created on the initiative of the Johann Textor School in Haiger, which has maintained a student exchange with the Collège Noel in Montville for around 20 years. This friendship was officially sealed in 1991 in Montville and 1992 in Haiger by the signing of a certificate by the mayors of Montville and Haiger. Citizens, associations and groups maintain lively contact.

In 1964, the town of Plombières-lès-Dijon and the then still independent municipality of Sechshelden officially sealed this partnership, the origin of which goes back to the caring reception of a former French prisoner of war by the Sechshelden families. The circle expanded through friendly relations between citizens of both communities.

The friendship between Haiger and the former community of Wolfsberg has existed since 1991. Shortly after German-German reunification , the mayors at the time had signed the partnership “with a handshake”. “Back then we didn't have time for a certificate or contract.” This is why we speak of an unsealed partnership. The beginning of the friendship was marked by work: Wolfsberg took over all administrative papers: "In the first years after reunification, the political bodies and the administration of the city of Haiger supported the community of Wolfsberg in Thuringia in establishing a new administrative structure." Twenty years later The association works in Wolfsberg with Haiger's cameralistics (in Haiger, double housekeeping has meanwhile been converted). In 1994, Haiger fire service comrades transferred a fire engine to the Thuringian twin town. In Haiger, the "Thuringian Days" take place annually, mostly in September, to celebrate friendship.

Hessentag 2022

Hessentag 2022 in Haiger: Prime Minister Volker Bouffier with a Haiger delegation

On March 20, 2018, Haiger was awarded the contract for the Hessentag 2022 by Prime Minister Volker Bouffier. As early as 2015, the will was expressed to host the 62nd edition of the state festival here. On December 17, 2015, the Hessian state government received the corresponding application documents, which was underpinned by the visit of State Minister Axel Wintermeyer in autumn 2017 : He got an idea on site and spoke out in favor of the Hessentag taking place in Haiger after 2020. Since the event in Fulda will increase in 2021, the award will be made for the year 2022. This is the third time the Hessentag has stopped in the Lahn-Dill district in a decade : In 2012 it was held in Wetzlar; the Hessentag 2016 took place in Herborn. The festival should be close to the city center z. B. be carried out on the large company premises of the Rittal company and at Haigerbach . Parking spaces are planned near Autobahn 45 - a temporary exit will also be built at the "Haiger Viaduct". "Innovative economy, ecology and energy" is planned as the motto, since the close connection between economy and Hessentag will define the character in Haiger. The city has appointed four Hessentag officers who are to lead the organization in the coming years: Julia Bastian (Deputy Head of the Office), Timo Dietermann (Deputy Head of the Public Order Office) and Oliver Thielmann (Office of the Public Order Office).

Cold oak industrial area

The Kalteiche industrial area is located directly at the Haiger / Burbach motorway junction on the A 45 and near Siegerland Airport (13 kilometers). The area has a gross area of ​​710,000 m² and is 60 hectares in 2011. In 2011 around 1000 people worked in the industrial area.

Before the development in 2000, there were civil protests, especially in the towns of Allendorf and Haiger-Seelbach, which led to the foundation of the NLA (Naturally Living and Working) party. The party immediately made the leap into the city parliament. On June 16, 2010, the party disbanded.

On May 24, 2011, the Haiger city council decided that the Kalteiche should be expanded by 17.9 hectares in order to enable further companies to settle in Haiger. The expansion is to take place in the direction of the federal road and Haiger-Seelbach.

As part of construction work, scientists from the University of Münster researched the remains of a Celtic settlement in 2000 and found a. Racing ovens , witnesses and Iron Age settlements and burial mounds.

A third extension (Kalteiche III) was started in 2018. This means that the industrial area continues to grow towards the south. Five million euros have been earmarked for the development of the area near the so-called “Shell Cross”. Since the area is derogatory, terraces have to be created. The third section is about nine acres. The third construction phase is to be connected to the confluence area B 54 / B 277 with a roundabout.

retail trade

There are four main areas of development in retail:

  • “Lohwiese”: A large hardware store and several supermarkets have opened in the Lohwiese area in recent years.
  • Inner city: In the inner city there are banks, pharmacies and drugstores above all small shops that also attract customers from neighboring communities with their range. Particularly noteworthy is “Fisch Goll”.
  • Former Haiger Center or the former Möbel Franz site: A number of discounters and cheap segment shops have set up shop on the site of the former Haiger Center and in the former building of the insolvent Möbel Franz company. The Roller furniture store has been located in the former Möbel Franz building since 2006 .
  • Former Format site: A grocery store and a gas station were built here. Originally (2010) it was considered that a shopping center should be built on the premises of the insolvent kitchen manufacturer “Format”. As a customer magnet, an electronics store should form the center of the new shopping center. The total sales area should be 8400 square meters, 500 parking spaces should be created. These plans were not implemented - even after protests from the neighboring town of Dillenburg.
