history

Territorial history

The village was first mentioned in a document in the 13th century. There are two ways in which it came to the Lords and Counts of Hanau :

  1. In 1318, the tenth of Harreshausen was leased for another 20 years with the consent of Lord Gottfried von Eppstein . In 1320 two widows donated the hamlet of "Hareshusen" and its accessories to the Fulda monastery . When Konrad IV von Hanau had to go into debt in 1373 for his election as prince abbot of the monastery, the consequence immediately after taking office in Fulda was that he tried to refinance the debts he had incurred from the imperial monastery of Fulda. As early as 1374 he pawned Otzberg Castle , the city of Hering and the Umstadt office for 23,875 guilders to his nephew, Ulrich IV. Von Hanau . In this context Harreshausen could also have come to Hanau. In 1383 the tenth of Harreshausen fell to Babenhausen Castle . So it belonged to Hanau.
  2. The alternative is that Adelheid von Munzenberg , daughter of Ulrich I von Munzenberg , when she married Reinhard I von Hanau before 1245 (the exact year is not known) , brought Harreshausen into the marriage as a marriage asset. But that makes it difficult to explain the above-mentioned Eppsteinischen and Fulda rights.

Since Harreshausen belonged to the Hanau lordship , later to the Hanau county and after the division of 1456 to the Hanau-Lichtenberg county , it was part of the Babenhausen office . In 1447 the village had its own regional settlement court . Von Wasen and von Düdelsheim also owned property in the village . After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , 1736, landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the county of Hanau-Münzenberg on the basis of an inheritance contract from 1643. Due to the intestinal succession , the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell to the son of Johann Reinhard III's only daughter, Landgrave Ludwig IX. from Hessen-Darmstadt . Disputed between the two heirs was the affiliation of the Babenhausen office and its villages to Hanau-Münzenberg or Hanau-Lichtenberg. There was almost a military conflict when Hessen-Kassel occupied most of the Babenhausen office, including Harreshausen, with the military already carefully stationed in Hanau . The dispute could only be ended with a settlement in 1771 after a long-standing legal dispute before the highest imperial courts , the so-called participation recess . Harreshausen was finally awarded to Hessen-Kassel. Already in the years 1722-23 Count Johann Reinhard III. von Hanau build the old hunting lodge Harreshausen . The hunting arsenal located on the site was dismantled again in 1779 and was the basis of the Hanau arsenal. In 1807 the Amt of Babenhausen came under French administration as a result of the Napoleonic Wars . By a state treaty with France in 1810, however, to the Grand Duchy of Hesse (-Darmstadt) and then belonged to the following administrative units: until 1821: Amt Babenhausen ; 1821 to 1832: Seligenstadt district in the Starkenburg province of the Grand Duchy of Hesse; 1832 to 1848: Offenbach district with the introduction of districts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse; 1848 to 1852: Dieburg administrative district during the division of Starkenburg province into administrative districts; 1852 to 1938: Dieburg district with the abolition of the administrative districts until the end of the Starkenburg province; 1938 to 1977: Dieburg district ; from 1977: District of Darmstadt-Dieburg, in which the district of Dieburg is dissolved in the course of the regional reform in Hesse.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Harreshausen in 1829:

»Harreshausen (district of Seligenstadt) Lutheran parish village; is located on the Gersprenz, 1 3 / 4 St. Seligenstadt and 3 3 / 4 St. Steinheim, and has 79 houses and 380 inh. containing up to 7 Kath. are Lutheran. The so-called beautiful oak, from the growth of an Italian poplar, is remarkable. The village of Hiltenhausen, which still existed in 1532, was nearby. - This village, whose name probably originated from Harro, belonged to the Munzenbergers and was probably ceded to Hanau between 1258–1278. After the exit of the Hanau – Lichtenberg line in 1736, both Hessen – Darmstadt and Hessen – Cassel took the office of Babenhausen, of which Harreshausen was a member, to claim. However, this office was cured by the comparisons of 1762 and 1771 between these two houses, with Harreshausen coming to Hessen-Cassel. In 1807, France seized Cassel's stake in the Babenhausen office and incorporated it into the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, which was newly established in 1810. In the same year the new owner ceded this village with others to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. "

On December 31, 1971, the previously independent community of Harreshausen was incorporated into Babenhausen on a voluntary basis as part of the regional reform in Hesse and has been a district of Babenhausen since then. For Harreshausen, as for the core town of Babenhausen and the other parts of the city, a local district with a local advisory board and local chief was set up according to the Hessian municipal code.
