Hanauerland
Hanauerland refers to a former domain north of Strasbourg on the French side and around Kehl in Mittelbaden on the German side on both sides of the border formed by the Rhine . In the regional everyday language context, it is now understood to mean the greater Kehl area. The area usually includes the cities of Kehl and Rheinau as well as the municipality of Willstätt , which are jointly implementing several supraregional projects, such as the Hanauerland flood protection association, because of their historical ties and because they belong to the Ortenau district . Occasionally, the municipality of Lichtenau , which has been part of the Rastatt district since the district reform, is also included, such as the service area of the Sparkasse Hanauerland Kehl. Hanauerland is more rarely used as a synonym for the dissolved Kehl district , which, in addition to the previously mentioned local authorities of the Ortenau district, also included the present-day communities of Neuried , Appenweier and Renchen .
history
The area had been the territory of the Lords of Lichtenberg since 1273, based in the town of the same name in the northern Vosges .
Count Philipp I the Elder von Hanau married Anna von Lichtenberg in 1458 , one of the heirlooms of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg . After his death in 1473, Anna and Count Philipp I received half of the Lichtenberg rule in lower Alsace with the capital Buchsweiler . This resulted in the line and county of Hanau-Lichtenberg . The inheritance also included areas that are now in Baden. The other half of the rule fell initially to the Counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch . In 1570 these also died out, and their goods, including the Lichtenberg part in Alsace , fell to Hanau-Lichtenberg. The area owes its name to this count house.
After the death of the last Count of Hanau, Johann Reinhard III. , in 1736 the county Hanau-Lichtenberg went to the Hereditary Prince Ludwig IX. von Hessen-Darmstadt , son of Charlotte Christine Magdalene Johanna von Hanau-Lichtenberg , the heir to Johann Reinhard III.
Hanauerland in Baden
With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the Hanauerland fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1803, as far as it was on the right bank of the Rhine . The then margrave of Baden and later Grand Duke Karl Friedrich was married to Karoline Luise , who was a daughter of Charlotte von Hanau and Ludwig VIII. Von Hessen-Darmstadt . The area was administered by two government councilors at the head of the offices of Rheinbischofsheim and Kork , to which the following communities belonged. To Rheinbischofsheim, Bodersweier, Diersheim , Altfreistett , Neufreistett , Grauelsbaum, Hausgereuth, Helmlingen , Holzhausen, Honau, Leutesheim, Lichtenau, Linx, Memprechtshofen , Muckenschopf, Scherzheim and Zierolshofen. The localities of Auenheim, Eckartsweier, Hesselhurst, Hohnhurst, Legelshurst, Neumühl, Odelshofen, Querbach, Sand and Willstätt were administered from Kork.
Due to the way they come from, the historical costumes here are partly Alsatian.
