Geographical location

Hainstadt is located north of the core city of Buchen on the railway line towards Walldürn . Depending on the nature of the soil, it cannot be assigned to the Odenwald ( red sandstone ) or building land ( shell limestone ). It lies on their border, which runs roughly along the Seckach – Miltenberg railway in the Buchen-Hainstadt-Walldürn section. The Hainsterbach flows through the village .

history

The first documented mentions from 775 (donation of goods on the river "Heinbach") are recorded in the Codex of the Lorsch Monastery . The place name is mentioned in different spellings, "Hainsteten" (777), "Hainstat" (1255), "Heigenstat" (1285), "Heynstat" (1340), "Heymstat" (1453) etc.

In the “Heynstatter Rebellionsbrief” the people of Hainstadt had to forego numerous rights after participating in the Peasants' War in 1525.

Although no special documents exist, Hainstadt was affected by the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War after the events in nearby places , where imperial, French and Swedish troops were active until 1635 and troops passed through again towards the end of the war. In addition, there were famines and plague - both before and after the war.

From the 12th to the 17th century, Hainstadt had various landlords . At the end of the 17th century, three quarters belonged to the Würzburg monastery and a quarter to the barons Rüdt von Collenberg . In the course of secularization in 1803, the Principality of Leiningen became the owner of Hainstadt, which in 1806 became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden .

On October 1, 1974, the city of Buchen was combined with Götzingen, Hainstadt, Hettigenbeuren and Hettingen to form today's city of Buchen.

economy

Hainstadt has developed from a farming village into a place with industry. Important companies are, in particular, the Braas-Ziegelwerke (formerly RuppKeramik) of the Braas Monier Group, which operates one of 16 production sites in Germany, as well as Scheuermann + Heilig GmbH, the customer-specific precision parts in the areas of spring technology, stamping technology, bending technology and assembly technology produced.
