Geographical location

Tower on the Hallgarter Zange

Hallgarten, as one of the Rheingau high places, is not on the Rhine, but two kilometers further north on a slope below the clearing boundary of the Taunus forests . As a wine village, the place is surrounded on all sides by vineyards and offers a distant view to the south over the Rheinhessen table and hill country to the Donnersberg 46 km away and to the Odenwälder Bergstrasse . The settlement Am Rebhang, built into the edge of the forest, extends 1500 meters north of the village to a height of 400 meters.

The summit of the Hallgarter Zange rises two and a half kilometers north of Hallgarten ( 580.5  m above sea level ). The observation tower erected there in 1909 offers the best view over the Rheingau. The the Taunus main ridge at about 1,000 meters to the south upstream mountain acts from the south in perspective higher than the highest point lying behind the Rheingau, the wooded Cold hostel ( 619.3  m ). The forests of Hallgarten include the Mapper Schanze as the only preserved gate fortification of the Rheingau Gebück and extend in the hinterland forest to the upper Ernstbach .

history

Parish Church of the Assumption

Hallgarten probably originated from an estate belonging to the Eberbach monastery .

The place is part of the Kurmainzian territory with the whole Rheingau . After the dissolution of the Electoral state the place in 1803 went to Nassau-Usingen and belonged to the time of the Duchy of Nassau for Office Eltville .

Thanks to Johann Adam von Itzstein and the meetings of his Hallgarten circle of political and social greats between 1832 and 1847, Hallgarten played a political and historical role. They met at the Itzsteins winery in Hallgarten to discuss political issues. This opposition group included Hoffmann von Fallersleben , who wrote an Itzstein biography in Hallgarten in 1847. The Hallgartener Kreis is also seen as the nucleus of the Frankfurt National Assembly in 1848 in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt .

After the annexation of the Duchy of Nassau by Prussia , Hallgarten was assigned to the Rheingau district in the Wiesbaden administrative region in 1867 .

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , Hallgarten was incorporated into the city of Oestrich-Winkel by law and against the will of the population on January 1, 1977. From that time until the local elections in 2016, Hallgarten was the only district in Oestrich-Winkel for which a local district with a local advisory board had been set up; since then there have been three more local councils and the Hallgarten local council has been reduced from seven to five seats.
