Hargarten is a district of the municipality of Sankt Katharinen (Neuwied district) in the north of Rhineland-Palatinate .
geography
Hargarten is located on the Rheinwesterwälder volcanic ridge in the western foothills of the Westerwald on the east side below today's 407 m above sea level. NHN (formerly 445 m) measuring Hummelsberg as well as on both sides of the "Hargartener Hügels" ( 380.6 m above sea level ), whereby the place altitudes from 335 to almost 380 m above sea level. NHN includes. Landesstraße 254 ( Kretzhaus –Weißfeld) runs along its eastern edge . After the completion of the basalt mining on Hummelsberg, which was operated from 1855 to the 1980s, an inaccessible lake was created there, which is located southwest of Hargarten. Immediately to the northeast is the district of Noll , which together with Lorscheid and Notscheid forms the center of St. Katharinen. Ginsterhahn with the Linz am Rhein transmitter is about one kilometer south of Hargarten. The district boundary to Linz am Rhein runs immediately to the west of the village.
history
The place was mentioned early in 1366 as Hargarden , known as the parish of Linz. For a long time, like Hilkerscheid, Noll, Notscheid and Ginsterhahn, it was a part of Linz on the Rhine that was located outside the city wall and belonged to the electorate of Cologne . This area, known as the "Linzer Höhe" from the 17th century onwards, became part of the Duchy of Nassau in 1806 and divided into the communities of Hargarten and Notscheid in 1809. The hamlets of Noll and Ginsterhahn as well as the Grendel farm and later Kaimig belonged to Hargarten . After the Rhineland was ceded to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815, Hargarten was assigned to the Linz district (incorporated into the Neuwied district in 1822 ) and administered by the Linz mayor's office.
According to the interest register, Hargarten's population was around 15 in 1415 , and around 200 in the municipality in 1618, which can be deduced from the 34 people with citizenship at the time . It decreased noticeably to 168 by 1810, and increased to 321 by 1875. The population of Hargarten itself fluctuated between 120 and 180 people in the 19th century; in 1875 there were 30 houses. In 1925 the place was connected to the power grid.
Economically, with 498 acres of usable area, agriculture with the cultivation of rye and oats dominated . The existing craft was limited to blacksmith, carpenter and a shoemaker. From the second half of the 19th century, the place was economically shaped by the basalt mining, which was operated on the Hummelsberg and until 1938 also on a "Hargarten hill" called mountain. The first school in Hargarten, which was also a school for the entire Linzer Höhe, was occupied in 1750; in 1829 there were still 32 students there. The first church in Hargarten was built in 1628, the second as a half-timbered building with the patrons Maria and Josef . The current building, the Apollonia Chapel, originally dates from 1690 and was mentioned in a visit protocol in 1757. In 1872 a new and larger Apollonia Chapel, a hall building in the neo-Gothic style, was built. The bells date from 1628 and 1718.
On June 7, 1969, the previously independent communities of Hargarten (then with 547 inhabitants), Notscheid and Lorscheid were formed into the new community of St. Katharinen. The Hargarten district was also dissolved and became part of the new St. Katharinen district .
