The Schulzenberg with chapel

history

Location of Haimbach ( Henbach ) on a map of the Hochstift Fulda from 1574

Already between 2000 and 1800 BC According to Joseph Vonderau, a settlement is said to have stood on Schulzenberg , where stool graves as well as stone and bronze utensils were found.

Around 744 AD, a small settlement is said to have stood northwest of what is now Haimbach. Between 822 and 842 AD there was already a church in Haimbach, dedicated to St. Markus was consecrated. The monks of the Fulda monastery made a pilgrimage from Fulda to Haimbach on April 25th, St. Mark's Day . Haimbach was first mentioned in a document in 852 AD, at that time under the name "Hegebach". Of this church was only until the later church building in the 12th / 13th centuries. Century received a crypt. On the 371 m high "Schulzenberg" stands the "Schulzenberg Chapel", which can be seen from afar, the origins of which probably go back to a wooden chapel in the late Middle Ages .

Presumably one of the waiting towers around Fulda stood on the nearby Haimberg in the late Middle Ages .

In 1658 the existing chapel was replaced by a stone building.

In 1631 the new church, built in the 12th and 13th centuries, was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War except for the tower and the small village at that time was heavily devastated. After that, only about 50 residents lived in the settlement.

In 1938, residents from Dalherda and Neuglashütten were forcibly resettled . In Haimbach, 13 new settlers and four farms were built. The forced resettlement took place because of the creation of a military training area for the Wehrmacht in the Rhön. The resettled residents of the Wildflecken military training area were also distributed to the villages of Maberzell , Trätzhof and Neuenberg .

On August 1, 1972, the previously independent community of Haimbach was incorporated into the city of Fulda as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
