Hain-Gründau is a district of the municipality of Gründau in the Main-Kinzig district in Hesse . The place name is derived from the river Gründau , which flows south of the village through the boundary of the district, the western Gründau district Mittel-Gründau and later through the town of Langenselbold into the Kinzig .

geography

location

The place is on the edge of the Büdinger Forest and the Ronneburg hill country in the valley of the Gründau. The Büdinger Forest is a spur of the Spessart that protrudes to the north over the Kinzig and is part of the Hessian-Franconian mountainous region (main unit group 14). This pushes itself from the south in front of the southern roofing of the Vogelsberg, which faces the Rhine-Main lowland (main unit group 23) . As a north-west-south-east running red sandstone block from 350 to 410 m height, it essentially forms a sandstone plateau , on whose loamy sandy soil there is an almost closed forest area, mostly deciduous forests , especially the large uncut area north of Gelnhausen to the Litterbachtal.

The state road 3271 runs through the village and the federal road 457 is on the southwestern edge of the village . To the west, the Gießen – Gelnhausen railway passes Hain-Gründau; multiple efforts to set up a stop before the First World War failed.

Neighboring communities

Hain-Gründau borders in the north on the districts of Büdingen and Vonhausen of the city of Büdingen , in the east and south on the district of Gettenbach , in the west on the district of Mittel-Gründau . Hain-Gründau only emotionally borders the suburbs of the Gründau district of Breitenborn ; both the Büdingen and Gettenbachs are in between.

The three villages in the Büdinger Wald , Breitenborn AW, Gettenbach and Hain-Gründau had special relationships and "flowing borders" long before the regional reform in Hesse in the 1970s. The district boundaries have been corrected several times .

history

Prehistory and clearing in the Middle Ages

A place called Grinda was mentioned as early as 1173. The Laurentiuskirche was built around 1150. The place was later named Grindaha im Hayn (1248) and Obergründa (Grinda superior). It is a forest village, the inhabitants were forest farmers, because in contrast to the two other Grindaha ( Mittel-Gründau and Niedergründau ), Hain-Gründau was a forested village (most likely a much older clearing ), located in the west of the Büdinger Forest. One can assume with some probability an old Germanic sacrificial site here.

In any case, more than 5 000-year-old signs of settlement in the district known (find sites of stone devices: the Stickelberg above the station agent Gruendau and at the foot of the district Gettenbach belonging whetstone to the mouth of Gettenbachs in the Gruendau ). During this time the oak and beech forests are more numerous, the pig is pet, it becomes the acorn and beech nuts driven -Mast in the forest. During excavations in 2017 and 2019, objects from the time of the band ceramics in the Neolithic and a Celtic settlement ( Celtic pantry ) were found. There is a well-founded assumption of permanent settlement in the area from the time of the band ceramists (site: In der Altenbach ) to the Romans (approx. 100 BC to 260 AD, eastern border area in front of the Roman Wetterau Limes with the two forts Rückingen and Marköbel ) and from 500 the Franks (Christianity).

In the 11th or 12th century, the founding of the Husenbach settlement (district designation In der Hausemich ) is believed to have ended at the end of the Middle Ages.

The old village

In the first half of the 12th century the chapel ( Laurentius Chapel ) , which is still used as a church, was built. The village is located south of the Gründau (today's village is north of the Gründau), near the Hollerborn , which supplies the water for the village. Field names such as "Spielgasse", for the gardens "auf der Beune" and the Baumgarten "Bangerte" are still reminiscent of the location of the village right on the border of the Gettenbacher district and near the chicken farm that was later built south of it (from Hünenhof the numerous barrows there in the forest or from "Hainer Hof" = Hof am Hain). After the counts of Selbold-Gelnhausen died out (1151), Grindaha in Hayn belongs to the lords of Büdingen , who are later inherited by the Isenburg family . With the burgrave office in Gelnhausen, they brought the entire Büdinger forest and the villages involved, the “forested” villages, into their sphere of influence; they have also acquired the fiefs of the forester from Gelnhausen and those of the "riding forester" (= knight). In 1442 the people of Isenburg in Büdingen became (imperial) counts. In 1550 they introduce the Reformation (“evangelical preaching”, the three main monasteries in the county, Selbold (in the city of Langenselbold ), Marienborn and Meerholz are secularized ), and in 1581 an independent parish is established in Hain-Gründau. The church is being expanded, and the church bills include Vonhausen (the neighboring village in the northwest) and Gettenbach (the closest neighboring village in the southeast), which paid contributions for the construction of the church. Hain-Gründau and Gettenbach also shared the cemetery. In 1583, based on the contributions to the church fund, the number of houses in Hain-Gründau was 47, in Gettenbach with 37 and Vonhausen with 36.

In 1548 an ash burner (= potash boiler ) worked in Hain-Gründau and in Gettenbach , from 1551 onwards they were only allowed to use "lying Uhrholtz" (= reading wood) because the Büdinger forest was very clear due to the wood consumption of the charcoal burners.

The Thirty Years War and the destruction of the village

At the beginning of the war (1618) Hain-Gründau had 240 inhabitants who had to suffer from the war taxes of the 1620s. In 1634/35 the church and the village are destroyed (by imperial troops); Hunger and plague prevail (the count in Büdingen flees, the county falls to the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt ), cannibalism in the village (as in the western neighboring village of Mittel-Gründau) is reported, the witch hunt reaches the court places in Büdingen (for the entire Isenburg counties from Wolferborn to Wächtersbach and from Büdingen to Meerholz) and Gelnhausen ( free imperial city , but pledged ) a new high point (as in the past between 1560 and 1600).

The new village

After the Peace of Westphalia (1648), the village was rebuilt from 1656 north of the Gründau, but further east, behind the Schenkerain along today's Pfarrgasse, Burgstrasse and Hainstrasse. According to legend, the Rain (Schenkerain) given by the count is said to have gone to the first settlers Weinel and Hirchenhein . In 1687, Hain-Gründau came to Ysenburg-Büdingen-Büdingen when one of the Isenburg state divisions , the villages of the Gründau court to Ysenburg-Büdingen-Meerholz and Breitenborn (the neighboring village in the east) to Ysenburg-Büdingen-Marienborn . In 1715 the church is rebuilt in its original location, the parish becomes independent again, a rectory is built and a (new) cemetery is laid out.

Mining and lime works

There has been mining for copper and silver in Hain-Gründau since at least 1400 ( copper shale with fish prints ). The Thirty Years' War interrupted mining, which resumed after 1700 and was abandoned in 1780 (another attempt was made in 1856–1858). The copper-bearing layers of the Hain-Gründauer Zechstein formations with lead, nickel , bismuth , cobalt , iron, zinc, gypsum, limestone , rock salt and barite attracted many professors and students on excursions to the remains of tunnels and shafts in “Im Wolfsgraben "," Kreischberg "and" Auf der Fuchshecke ". The Hain-Gründauer ore was very productive: from 157 quintals of ore 13¾ lot of silver , one quintal 61½ pounds of copper, three hundredweight 79¼ pounds of lead were extracted; Funded from 17 shafts. A hut "Auf der Schmelz" was located east of the village ( Mühläcker , Auf der Schmelzwiese , Am upper pit house ) on the bridge over the Gründau. In the last operating period in the second half of the 18th century, the ore extracted was smelted in Bieber in the Spessart. The numerous references to old mining in the Hain-Gründauer district prompted an investigation of the soil quality by the Royal Prussian State Geological Institute in 1897 . The photo confirmed that the thickness of the Zechstein in the north of the district after the Büdinger Tunnel is increasing (45 to 60 m).

On the basis of the report, the Upper Hessian Portland cement factory mined first-class "lime" for many decades , which burned in three large funnel-shaped ovens for three to four days at approx. 1000 degrees and was converted into building lime and dung lime in a lime mill. At that time 40 to 50 workers were employed in the plant; The entrepreneurs even planned to run a cable car to Gettenbach and from there to take a still-to-be-laid narrow-gauge railway to the station in Mittelgründau . This did not happen because of the global economic crisis of 1929/30. The plant was not shut down until 1965.

The Seven Years War, the land registration and regulation in the 18th century, the French Revolution, Napoleon and the fall of the old Empire

"The storms of the seven-year war , but above all of the French war, left multiple traces of destruction and devastation in the hallway and village, in house and heart." The land is measured, land maps are drawn up and the Gründau is regulated (under the sovereignty of J. Konrad Siegmann ). During the coalition wars of 1796/97, the villagers suffered a lot from the French army marching through. Gangs of robbers hide in the protection of the Büdinger Forest and made the area unsafe.

With the fall of the old empire (1806), a modern state emerged as a member of the Rhine Confederation , the Principality of Isenburg under Carl Fürst zu Isenburg and Büdingen in Birstein, who mostly resided in Offenbach ( Offenbach , Dreieich and Neu-Isenburg were part of the principality) . Again the village is asked to pay, this time for Napoleon's wars across Europe. With the decisions of the Congress of Vienna (1814-15), the Principality loses its independence and in 1816 between Kurhessen and the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt divided; Hain-Gründau comes to the Grand Duchy and the district of Büdingen , which in 1852 becomes the district of Büdingen . The state and customs border now runs between Hain-Gründau on the one hand and Gettenbach with the chicken farm and Breitenborn on the other, and a customs office is set up.

1830 and 1848 - revolutionary activities

Former flour mill in Hain-Gründau at the northwestern foot of the Wetzstein (252 m high), in operation until the 1950s.

1830, the village has 492 inhabitants, anywhere in the (Hessian) Province Hanau and (Hesse-Darmstadt urban) Province Oberhessen are inches unrest , the Hain-Green Continuous border customs office is demolished, burned the tax records, the inhabitants join for. Some armed trains to Büdingen, where the castle is stormed. The grand ducal military is deployed. Despite the violent suppression of the uprisings, reforms take place (a new progressive constitution is passed in Kurhessen ). The previously jointly used marrow and court forest of the Büdingen court will be dissolved and distributed to the participating villages. The Hain-Gründauer community forest in the Ronneburg Forest north-west of Mittel-Gründau is being created; the forest is not finally allocated to the community until after 1848. In the course of the 1840s, the " tithes " (taxes) opposite the mountain church, the church in Gelnhausen and the Büdinger counts were "replaced". In 1856/57 the mill ban (the obligation to have the harvested grain ground in the mill) was replaced for the stately mill on the Gründau (below the whetstone ).

In the mid-1840s there were bad harvests and famine, and a public dining establishment for children was established. The population growth and the non-increasing harvests do not bring any improvement in the situation of the population (1849 = 669, 1852 = 708 inhabitants). The community is carrying out extensive logging in the new community forest , thereby funding the emigration ( fully equipped ) of 120 residents to Baltimore , Maryland , USA. In 1854 Hain-Gründau only had 510 inhabitants (1890 = 583 inhabitants).

Jewish residents in the 19th and 20th centuries

Jewish cemetery in Hain-Gründau , view of the cemetery area from the northeast

A first Jewish family ( Löb ) is said to have lived in the village since the end of the 18th century. In 1840 there is evidence of a Jewish family in Hain-Gründau because a Jewish civil status register is being created and kept. In 1890 there are two Jewish families ( Goldschmidt and Grünebaum ) who had small shops on (today's) Hainstrasse and Burgstrasse. They were only expelled from the village during National Socialism in the 1930s. From 1866 onwards, the arrival of Jewish families from Ronneburg and Gettenbach led to a Jewish community in Hain-Gründau, to which Mittel-Gründauer Jews also belonged (prayer house in Pfarrgasse). In the 1920s, a Jewish burial place is laid out. In 1935/36, numerous Jewish families moved to major cities such as Frankfurt and Darmstadt, the church was sold and the Jewish community was dissolved. From 1941 to 1943 numerous members of the Jewish families from Hain-Gründau were deported after they were abducted. T. to Minsk and Majdanek , killed. The Jewish cemetery in Hain-Gründau was destroyed and "cleared" during the Nazi era. After the end of the Second World War , only three tombstones could be rebuilt.

Technical progress in the second half of the 19th century

In 1840 a road from Lieblos is led through the Judengrund (possibly an old burial place for the Gettenbach Jews), crossing the Gründau to the Kleeplatte and on to Büdingen . In 1852 the Büdingen district was formed.

In 1870 the Gießen – Gelnhausen railway line was completed. Despite many efforts, a train station is not being built, which is why a member of the Second Chamber of the Estates of the Grand Duchy of Hesse requests the following resolution to request the (grand-ducal) state government to move the stop built in Mittel-Gründau closer to Hain-Gründau, for example there [to] where the railway crosses the state road from Ortenberg to Gelnhausen and the railway administration has repeatedly stopped trains and had certain materials deposited for the glassworks in Breitenborn . It didn't help, the train station stayed in Mittel-Gründau .

In 1885 the castle school with two classrooms is built. Jobs are no longer only to be found in agriculture and in the forest, you can take the train to Hanau , many also work in the basalt quarry in Breitenborn AW. In 1910 the village had 736 inhabitants.

The Weimar Republic, electrification and the global economic crisis

In the First World War , 19 Hain-Gründauer fell, four are missing. After the November Revolution, Hain-Gründau belonged to the People's State of Hesse from 1919 , the successor to the Grand Duchy; the neighboring communities of Gettenbach and Breitenborn to Prussia. In 1921, Hain-Gründau received electricity (since then the village, like Mittel-Gründau, has belonged to the OVAG and its predecessors' supply area for almost a century ). A sawmill is founded in 1927. Due to the global economic crisis of 1929/32 there are many unemployed in the village. In 1933 Hain-Gründau had 835 inhabitants. Almost 80% of the valid votes fell in the Reichstag elections in early March 1933 to the NSDAP , over 15% to the KPD (a similar distribution of votes as in the western neighboring village of Mittel-Gründau).

WMTS - bunker belt from Wetterau to Klingenberg am Main - and World War II

Between 1936 and 1937 the German Reich built a military bunker belt between Büdingen in the Wetterau and the Lower Franconian Klingenberg in Bavaria under the name Wetterau-Main-Tauber -stellung (WMTS). It was supposed to protect the territory of the Reich from a rapid attack from the east or west, which could have led to the secession of the southern half of Germany. Taking into account the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , their location offered the furthest west, tactically and technically sensible way of delaying an attacker's advance. The positions in the Büdinger Wald are also located in Hain-Gründau. The bunkers in the northeast and east of the district were blown up after 1945, and smaller telecommunications systems behind the bunker line were filled in. "Near the bunker between Hain-Gründau and Gettenbach, old trenches with an armored trench can still be seen on the right and left of the forest path. They are staggered to form a deep defense line (5 to 6 trenches)."

During the Second World War, forced labor from France, Poland and later Soviet prisoners of war worked in Hain-Gründau. "To the north of the village there was a branch of Stalag IXb (Bad Orb). It is a little north of Hain-Gründau. In this satellite camp, from which a barrack and a guard house has been preserved, there were prisoners of war who were used as harvest workers. They were mostly guarded by 'reliable' citizens who were equipped with a weapon for this purpose. " From 1944 onwards, victims of bombing attacks (bombed out) from Frankfurt, Offenbach and Hanau are taken in, and on Good Friday 1945 American troops march into Hain-Gründau.

Period 1946 to 1959

In 1946/47 234 refugees and displaced persons were taken in. In 1950 the village had 1,192 inhabitants (including 192 Catholics for the first time). 1951–54 the central water supply and sewer system are built, in 1959 a sewage treatment plant, the village streets are asphalted.

Territorial reform and end of self-employment

Until July 31, 1972 the place belonged together with the neighboring village Mittel-Gründau to the district of Büdingen . In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , however, the citizens did not want to be accepted into the city of Büdingen and thus into the Wetterau district. Therefore, Mittel-Gründau and Hain-Gründau left the district of Büdingen and were incorporated into the municipality of Gründau in the district of Gelnhausen on August 1, 1972 .

At that time, Hain-Gründau had 1,210 inhabitants. In 1977 the parish joins the parish "Auf dem Berg", which, apart from Breitenborn (which only became part of the parish "Auf dem Berg" in 2017), comprised all of Gründau's districts (and the Roth district of the city of Gelnhausen). In the 1980s there was a (renewed, as in 1928–34) land consolidation, the number of country lanes was reduced, the route to bypass the village was planned. Development areas are planned and designated (in 1997 the village had 1,673 inhabitants). In 1998 the place celebrated "750 years of Hain-Gründau".
