history

middle Ages

A Haginhusen is first mentioned in a document in 1108 as the location of a moated castle owned by the von Hagenhausen family. The assignment of this mention to Hainhausen is questionable. It was next mentioned in 1122. The remains of the Hainhausen moated castle are preserved as a ground monument in a meadow near Rodau on today's Burgstrasse. The family of Hagenhausen settled in the Taunus and named themselves after their castle of Eppstein .

Hainhausen was part of the office of Steinheim under Eppstein rule . In 1371 Eberhard von Eppstein Hainhausen pawned half of the Count von Katzenelnbogen and the Lords of Hanau . In 1393 the pledge came to the Lords of Kronberg . Ecclesiastically, the village belonged to Weiskirchen as a branch .

Early modern age

In 1425 Gottfried von Eppstein sold the village to the Electorate of Mainz .

The place experienced its lowest point - like its neighboring communities - in the Thirty Years' War , when the plague raged among the population. The last survivors begged the plague patron St. Rochus for help. The end of the deadly epidemic is still celebrated every year (on August 16) with a procession , the destination of which was originally the Rochus Chapel, consecrated in 1692. Since the end of the 19th century, the Rochus Church, newly built elsewhere in the town center, has served as its end point.

In the years 1631–1634, during the Thirty Years' War, King Gustav II Adolf confiscated the office as spoils of war and gave it to the later Hanau Counts Heinrich Ludwig von Hanau-Münzenberg and Jakob Johann von Hanau-Münzenberg , who were allied with him . Since both counts died soon and the Peace of Westphalia was based on the normal year 1624, Hainhausen returned to Kurmainz, where it remained until 1803 when it fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the course of secularization .

Modern times

In the Grand Duchy of Hesse it belonged to the following administrative units:

On January 1, 1977, Hainhausen became part of the greater community of Rodgau as part of the regional reform in Hesse through the amalgamation of five previously independent communities, and since 1979 the town of Rodgau.

coat of arms

DEU Hainhausen COA.svg

Blazon : " A red tower castle in a silver shield, covered with the Eppstein's shield (three red rafters in silver)."

The coat of arms of the municipality of Hainhausen was approved by the Hessian Interior Minister on August 31, 1954 . It was designed by the heraldist Georg Massoth.

In heraldic stylization, it represents the former moated castle of the place, the ancestral seat of the Lords of Eppstein. Their rafter coat of arms was therefore also included in the coat of arms of Hainhausen. The colors silver and red refer to the coat of arms of the Archbishopric Mainz , which came into the possession of the town through purchase in 1425.

flag

On March 28, 1957, the Hessian Minister of the Interior approved a flag for the municipality, which is described as follows:

"The municipal coat of arms on 8 flag cloths, divided lengthways by red and white."

Attractions
