geography

View of Hasselbach im Taunus from the west

Hasselbach is located in the eastern Hintertaunus , on a plateau on the northwestern foothills of the Feldberg-Langhals-Pferdskopf-Scholle . Right on the border of the Hochtaunuskreis and the Limburg-Weilburg district in the Taunus Nature Park .

The village is located in a valley basin , which opens to the south and south-east and allows the Langenbach, which rises above the place, to flow towards the Weiltal . As a result, Hasselbach is surrounded by several elevations: The Frohnstück ( 483  m ) in the northwest, the Tannenkopf ( 455  m ) in the northeast, the Milsenberg ( 422  m ) in the southeast and the Kuhbett ( 526  m ) in the southwest. The Schinnkopf ( 428  m ) rises unwooded in the field markings on the western edge of the village. The altitude of the district is in the middle of the Langebach in the east at around 300  m and reaches up to 500  m in the elevations in the west .

The district area is 9.04 km², of which 4.70 km² are forested.

From the higher parts of the village, when the weather is clear, there is a wide view to the southeast and east over the eastern Hintertaunus to the Hochtaunushauptkamm , with the Großer Feldberg to the southeast . The horse's head rises further to the southeast . The Taunushauptkamm is at an approximate distance of 15 kilometers.

The nearest towns are Bad Camberg (10 km southwest), Limburg an der Lahn (24 km northwest) and Usingen (19 km east).

The district borders in the west and northwest on the Selterser districts Eisenbach and Haintchen . In the northeast and east, Emmershausen and Rod adjoin the Weil . In the south, Hasselbach borders on Cratzenbach and in the south-west on the Bad Camberg districts of Dombach and Schwickershausen .

history

The first mention of Hasselbach can be found in a document from 1306. There it says: Imagina, widow of the Roman King Adolf (von Nassau, 1291-1298), certifies that all tithes of already built and still to be built Rodland are in their woods or bushes within the parish of Rod and the districts of the chapel in Haselbach were given to the Marienborn monastery by their father Gerhard von Limburg and their uncle Heinrich von Isenburg.

The sovereigns

Hasselbach 1674

The oldest known document that mentions the village of Hasselbach comes from the year 1217. It briefly reports that Hasselbach then belonged to the parish of Rod ad Weil. A document from 1317 has more to say. According to her, at that time the village was owned by the Lords of Limburg, whose castle stood there on the rock by the famous Limburg Cathedral. They moved the new tenth from Hasselbach. This leads to the assumption regarding the origin of the village that it was a clearing in the mighty mountain forest that covers the heights between the Emsbach valley and Weiltal . When the Lords of Limburg died out, Hasselbach came into the possession of the Elector of Trier in 1420. Seven years later he gave a quarter of the place to the Count of Nassau-Saarbrücken, from whom he received a quarter from the neighboring community of Eisenbach . It stayed that way for about 400 years; three quarters of Hasselbach belonged to Kurtrier, a quarter to the princes of Nassau-Saarbrücken. With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the secular property of the church in Germany was ceded to the secular princes. So then the share of Kurtrier in Hasselbach fell to the princes of Nassau, so that they now owned the entire village. In 1866, after the Prussian annexation of the Duchy of Nassau, it became part of the Kingdom of Prussia .

Hasselbach Castle

Drawing from 1777 (Source: Hessisches Hauptstaatsarchiv Wiesbaden, Department 3011, No. 990)

At the time when Hasselbach was in the possession of two rulers, traffic took a different route than it does today; He preferred to choose high-altitude trails. One of the busiest roads through the Taunus was the so-called Rennstraße . The route led from Frankfurt am Main to Königstein , on over the ridge of the mountains to Seelenberg and stayed on the ridge where possible until it flowed into Weilburg. Many merchants used this route in spring and autumn to visit the well-known Frankfurt trade fair. Hasselbach was up to him. Less than half an hour north of Hasselbach, two old traffic routes flowed into Rennstrasse, the Juden -pfad and Hessenstrasse , which formed the connection with the old Kölner Strasse. Hasselbach was therefore close to a junction of busy roads. The precarious public security that was threatened at that time by the knighthood, which went out partly out of necessity and partly out of greed for robbery, was probably what the rulers of Hasselbach, the Archbishop of Elector Jakob v. Sierk and Count Philipp von Nassau decided to fortify the place. On September 1, 1441, permission was given. The relevant imperial decree is available in a certified copy from the previous century in the parish archive. It says u. a .: " Permission is given that a city and fortresses may be made and built with moats, walls and gates, and that the people who are at Hasselbach or will come afterwards from taxes, services, camps, begging and complaints should be exempted . "The reason given in the imperial deed for these special privileges and freedoms confirms the above assumption:" Common utility of the country folk and areas around Hasselbach, and because damage to the same country and people and army has existed in various ways and still wants to exist. “The residents of the village of Hasselbach should therefore enjoy the same freedoms and benefits as the free imperial city of Frankfurt / Main. So Hasselbach was expanded as a castle. The place was walled 240 paces long and 120 paces wide, so that the fortress was a square that was twice as long as it was wide. The wall was four and a half meters high and 75 cm wide, so that one could just walk around the place behind the battlement. There was a gate on each side. One of them was just a narrow passage for people; his name is no longer known. The names of the other three are still on everyone's lips: the lower, the upper and the blunt gate. There was a square tower at each gate. On the hill that rises in the southwest immediately in front of the village, on which there is currently a cross erected in gratitude for regained health, one might think of a gallows towering, visible from afar as a warning to the highwaymen.

The favorable location of the castle on a major road resulted in rapid development of the place, so that the fortifications were soon seen as an inhibiting bondage. Over time, maintenance was no longer important; it fell apart. 150 years ago, the gates were closed every evening, as was customary with the castles. Of the towers, the ones at the Upper and the Lower Gate have survived the longest. The former, which was not very high, was auctioned off for demolition 130 years ago. The latter suffered the same sad fate only because of its stately height. It was sold 100 years ago by the municipality for 65 guilders (not quite 100 marks) to the owner of the house attached to it. This used it as a barn. Since the driveway was too narrow for him, he broke out of the arch one piece at a time. His carelessness took bitter revenge. On the evening of February 9, 1888, about a third of the tower collapsed, tearing part of the house leaning against it with it and blocking the corner of Langgasse and Hintergasse as a pile of rubble. At community expense, the rubble had to be removed and the roof that was still hanging above and the partially collapsed side walls had to be supported, as the owner was incapable. The community now had to decide whether the tower should be bought back and rebuilt, which according to the estimate would have cost around 850 marks, or whether it should be demolished and the rubble removed; someone wanted to do this for 450 marks. Although there was no lack of goodwill on the part of the community council, the latter was chosen because of the high costs. The only witnesses of Hasselbach Castle today are the remains of the fortress walls.

Walk through the centuries

Due to its favorable location on a busy road, Hasselbach Castle flourished quickly. A hundred years after it was expanded as a castle, around the middle of the 16th century, it was given its own parish, around the middle of the 17th century it rose quickly from the ruins of the Thirty Years' War , and around the middle of the 18th century the new, spacious one was built Parish church, around the middle of the 19th century it had its highest population.

Own parish 1545

Until 1536 Hasselbach belonged to the parish of Rod an der Weil; it probably had its own chapel and church service, but no clergyman of its own. At that time Rod had converted to the "new teaching". Hasselbach, on the other hand, stayed with the “old faith”, because three quarters of it was under the elector-archbishop of Trier. Even then, the sovereigns often determined the religion of their regional children, which soon after became a generally applicable principle. Initially, the pastor of Rod now officiated for a while in his parish seat according to the evangelical doctrine and in his branch in Hasselbach as a Catholic, until the church supervisory authority intervened against this untenable situation. Hasselbach Castle is separated from the parish of Rod and becomes its own parish, as it is wealthy enough to maintain its own clergy. In 1545 the first pastor moves in. At that time, the knight Philipp von Rheinberg at the nearby Eichelbach Castle of the Hasselbach church seems to have been very kind. He maintained his own chapel at his castle for a while with a chaplain who provided pastoral care in the nearby Kratzenbach and in Gemünden. Probably towards the end of his life Philipp von Rheinberg bequeathed the entire equipment of this chapel to the church in Hasselbach and thus prepared the establishment of the parish, because when he passed away he was buried in the church in Hasselbach. And only the builder or great benefactor of a church was so honored. His tombstone was later immured in the choir wall to the right of the high altar when the new church was built. He shows us the bust of a knight in armor with a long beard and clasped hands. The embrace is done in a renaissance style. It is one of the earliest monuments of this style in Nassau. One of his descendants laid out the Eichelbach farm 41 years later and moved there from the old castle.

At the time of the Thirty Years War and after (1650)

Bad times came for Hasselbach Castle and its surroundings with the Thirty Years' War. Some places in the closest neighborhood, Oberhain (about 20 minutes northwest of Hasselbach), Raupenhain (about 15 minutes north) and Schneebach (about a quarter of an hour to the east) disappeared completely.

There is no trace of their sites. Only the names of the paths and districts still remind of them. Hasselbach got away a little more graciously, probably due to its naturally protected location halfway up the hill. As in the neighboring Haintchen, the population sank so much that these two places were not even able to maintain a pastor together. Rather, they were provided by Eisenbach . The pastor there also had to pastorate the Niederselters, who also had no clergy between 1630 and 1660. With this great expansion of his field of work, he could only rarely come up to Hasselbach to care for the sick and to comfort the troubled , as stated in the relevant document.

Two years after the peace treaty, in 1650, Hasselbach and Haintchen got a common pastor named Adam Kassel. This worked with the greatest care for about 50 years. A report on this said: “In few places we have found everything as clean and accurate as here. “While Haintchen had no teacher, there was one in Hasselbach; but only a few children came to school. The then teacher Valentin Reif assured in a report that around 1685 Hasselbach had only 29 citizens, i.e. about 120 to 150 inhabitants.

House No. 22 in Langstrasse, Hasselbach's private home (now Limburger Strasse 13 after the regional reform), is a witness of that time. Two inscriptions are placed under the bay window on the upper floor, one in Latin and one in German. These wooden panels and other carvings, which could be saved from a fire in 1926, to which a house from the Thirty Years' War that was then a listed building fell victim, were used again in the new building. The former was mutilated by the fact that when the bay was later enlarged, the upper part of the frame with the beginning of the inscription fell away. The one who had the house built, the carpenter Johann Rodt, asks God that there should be no obstacle in the way of the building, that peace be and remain, and that the builder and his wife be able to live in the house undisturbed at the moment was built during the war. This latter remark seems to contradict the year of the inscription: 1678. The war was over in 1648. It probably rhymes as follows: Towards the end of the war or soon after the peace agreement, as there was still unrest, the building began. The completion of the building, especially the carvings, falls in 1678.

The construction of the current church (1751)

The furnishing of such a stately town house already reveals that Hasselbach Castle soon recovered from the horrors of the Thirty Years' War. This is supported by the fact that in 1699 the place got a pastor again. This is clearly demonstrated by the impressive new building of the parish church in 1751. The church, which was built in 1445 at the same time as the fortification, was destroyed by flames on October 22, 1749 after three hundred years of existence. That day at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a fire broke out in a house behind the church as a result of careless handling of the excessively dried flax. In a strong north-easterly wind, 33 houses and 22 barns were also caught in the flames and the church was cremated together with the 3 altars, the organ, the 3 bells, all paraments and many judicial letters and documents. The pastor was absent. After a year and a half, the new building began. The old one was chosen as the construction site. It was suitable because it was a rock in the middle of the village. In addition, there was nowhere to find a free place in the village. House to house stood close together. The free space at the butt gate was created much later, as several houses were demolished. The construction site had only one flaw: it was a little too small.

Parish Church of St. Margaretha

The foundation stone was laid on April 30, 1751. On August 17th the 4 shoe thick walls of the church were completed, on September 13th the four and a half shoe thick walls of the tower were completed. The carpenter started on September 16 and completed his work in 3 days without any accident. The roof on the church was completed in 1751, the one on the tower in 1752. The inauguration took place on April 13, 1752. The parish church has a peculiarity: from a distance it gives the impression that there is a fully developed tower behind the ship. In reality, only the front wall and two thirds of the two side walls are listed in solid masonry from the ground. The rear third of the side walls and the rear wall only begin halfway up the church roof and rest on wooden beams. As a result of this construction, the tower has inclined towards the ship over time. Measured from the tip of the helmet to the bell cage, the tower is about 65 cm off the perpendicular. There was no danger of collapse. However, this inclination was an obstacle to the removal of the bells when their delivery was requested during the First World War . The district authority shared the concerns raised by the church council until the end of the war. So the bells were preserved. However, these concerns were no longer sufficient in World War II . One day in the war years, two bells were removed and two concrete blocks were installed in their place, which were supposed to make full use of the tower. In the following years, however, the upper third of the tower tilted more and more to the east, so that in 1949 the deviation from the vertical was almost 90 cm. Since there was now serious fear of collapse, the timbers were renewed and raised. Nevertheless, the top of the tower is still about 40 cm off the plumb line.

The time after the turn of the century (19th / 20th century)

In 1828 the current cemetery was laid out on Roder Weg, because the non-expandable resting place at the parish church of St. Margaretha was no longer sufficient for the deceased of the village, which had grown to over 1000 inhabitants.

The traffic conditions that have been changing for a century, especially the rail track that emerged during this time, made Rennstraße a deserted, quiet route. To open up Hasselbach by railroad was too difficult due to the mountainous terrain. This also explains why the population had decreased from over 1000 to just over 700 in the last hundred years before the last world war. However, the active, inner life of the church was not affected by this external decline. The establishment of a nurses' house with kindergarten, nursing ward and sewing room in 1902, the construction of the water pipe in 1908, the construction of the new rectory in 1909, the construction of the electrical lighting system in 1921 and the construction of the war memorial chapel in the same year bear witness to this.

In 1936 an outdoor swimming pool was built. This was financed by the proceeds from the sale of wood, which were high due to the winter storms. It was still in use until the 1970s when it was the last outdoor swimming pool in Weilrod. Today it is the only remaining bath and is used as a fire fighting pond .

Shortly before its end, the Second World War brought some exciting days to remote Hasselbach as well. Eight bombs fell on March 26, 1945, injuring several residents and more or less damaging a large number of buildings. On Good Friday the village was shelled by heavy artillery from the west. Most of the projectiles went into the open field, but two houses were largely destroyed and numerous gravestones in the cemetery were damaged. The two world wars claimed 32 victims in the First World War and 70 dead and missing in the Second World War.

The unusual revival of construction activity after the currency reform also brought unexpected advantages for the village. The prices for construction timber skyrocketed and brought the wooded community good income. So you could buy the two missing church bells again, drill two deep wells for the water supply and build a large elevated tank, terminate the sewerage of all streets and renew the village streets. In 1949 they dared to build a town hall, which could be finished the following year. In addition, a spacious threshing hall, a mortuary in the cemetery and finally a new fire station with a hose drying tower were built, as the old one was no longer sufficient for the newly acquired extinguishing equipment.

A large children's playground was built, an extension to the kindergarten in the nurses' house and an enlarged sports field were made. Despite great efforts by the parish and the parish, it was not possible to prevent the dissolution of the nurses' station and thus also of the nursing in 1965 due to the general shortage of young members of the church orders.

During the renovation work on the baroque church in 1954, the original colors of the 3 altars from the “Hadamar School” were exposed. Just four years later, craftsmen found their way into the church again. This time the task was to get rid of the wall sponge, which had already attacked the masonry up to a height of 2 m. After the sponge had been removed, so-called "vaccine nests" were created in hundreds of holes, which guarantee the continued preservation of the church in this regard.

As a result of this urgent work, the necessary restoration of the baroque organ had to be postponed again and again. Built in 1755 by the Stumm brothers, it has been changed over the past two centuries through remodeling, removal of the reeds (1888) and the sale of the prospect pipes during the First World War, so that hardly anything of its original "radiant shine" could be heard. In 1966, however, the restoration was carried out. All registers that were added later were removed and the work was restored at the suggestion of Pastor Vowinkel after a thorough study of numerous works built by the Stumm brothers in Rheinhessen. Today Hasselbach owns a baroque organ, which according to the judgment of recognized experts and well-known organists with the well-coordinated disposition and the radiant baroque voices is unparalleled in the vicinity.

The church has another attraction with a way of the cross carved in the Baroque style in Oberammergau, the colors of which were specially coordinated with the existing figures of saints. The visitor to the house of God will now be able to admire a sacred room furnished in perfect style.

From the outside you can hardly tell from the outside of the school building, which was built in 1830, that its furnishings fully do justice to modern pedagogical teaching. In 1965 the building entrance was redesigned and the corridor was illuminated. In 1967, the teacher's apartment on the right-hand ground floor was turned into a toilet facility, which “with its floor and wall tiles meets all the requirements of modern hygiene”. A workshop could also be gained during this renovation work. In the following year, two teaching material rooms and a further classroom were created from the teacher's apartment on the left ground floor, which can later be used as a gymnastics room for the children of the elementary school after the transition of the main school classes to a central school. At the same time, the school received a fully automatic night storage heater. In 1969, a new staircase extension made it possible to meet the provisions of the school building laws in this regard. On January 1, 1970, the school authorities were transferred from the Hasselbach community to the Limburg district, so that the latter was now responsible for the further structural work on the school building.

With the land consolidation initiated in 1965, combined with the redevelopment of the old village center, a section in the village's history began in which the external image of the district and the place itself was decisively redesigned. Since the last consolidation in 1866, the parcels had been so fragmented through constant division that they could hardly be processed with modern agricultural equipment. In recent years, fewer and fewer fields have been cultivated, and the extent of the fallow land has taken on ever more threatening forms. The profound change that has now been created by the land consolidation can be gauged from the fact that up to 150 small and very small pieces of land belonging to one owner have been combined into a single parcel and there are now five resettlement farms with consolidated real estate in the district.

In the course of the land consolidation, the community was awarded a larger meadow area at the southern exit of the village. This resulted in a park that invites you to linger with the clean sidewalks, the benches and the small pond. In 1970, the municipality began to renew the aqueduct from 1908. This project had become necessary because pipe bursts were repeatedly discovered, but above all because the small cross-section of the old pipes did not guarantee fire protection in the new building areas.

Territorial reform

The territorial reform initiated by the Hessian state government at the beginning of the seventies brought about a decisive change for Hasselbach . With effect from August 1, 1972, the independence of the Hasselbach community ended. Hasselbach was separated from the Limburg district by state law and added to the newly formed Hochtaunuskreis with the district town of Bad Homburg, which was formed from the Usingen and Obertaunus districts. The formerly independent communities Hasselbach, Emmershausen, Niederlauken , Oberlauken , Rod an der Weil and Weilnau were merged to Weilrod together . The district of Rod an der Weil was set as the administrative seat.

Although Weilrod, with an area of ​​70.7 km ^{2, is} one of the largest municipalities in Hesse, it only has around 6500 inhabitants.

In 2006 Hasselbach celebrated its 700 year history.

coat of arms

The talking coat of arms shows a hazelnut. It appeared in the oldest known seal of the village from 1529. Since 1816 the nut has also been used in the coat of arms. The current coat of arms was approved on December 9, 1937.

The colors silver and red are the colors of the Electorate of Trier , to which the village belonged in the 15th century. The archbishops of Trier granted Hasselbach city rights in 1442.

theatre

The old custom of amateur theater has a tradition in Hasselbach to this day. As early as the early 1930s, theater was played in Hasselbach, but only for a few years: During the war, amateur theater was no longer possible. But very quickly after the war one could regain new enthusiasm for the theater: 1947 began a period of almost 20 years of Singspiel and theater. The amateur actors thrilled their audience at least once a year, usually around Christmas or Easter. For many weeks they met in the unheated hall of the clubhouse to rehearse the pieces under the direction of Katharina Rau and Valentin Heuser. Well-known works such as “Freischütz” or “Carmen”, which were performed as a Singspiel, were just as much in the repertoire as “Räuber auf Maria-Kulm” or “Hasso, the rebel”. In particular, the steadily growing diversity of what was on offer made the theater performances more and more successful.

In the mid-1960s, the stage in the “Zur Krone” hall was rebuilt, but there was no longer any money for new sets. The amateur play paused. But as early as 1966, the men's choir "Eintracht" began with new work for the young: Since then, small plays or skits have been rehearsed with the children of the "club family" and performed at the annual Christmas party. So a new generation of amateur actors grew up.

It was not until 1988 that they dared to take the next step towards theater performance. Two “old hands” who were “on the boards” themselves in the 1950s / 1960s took care of the young players: Willi Messinger and Reinhold Heuser were able to convey the necessary fun in amateur play and also had the right touch when choosing the first piece "Die Brautwiese". One could look forward to a complete success with two sold-out theater evenings. The decision to continue was made; other pieces such as B. "The beloved brute" or the singspiel "The beautiful miller" and "The sinful Lindnerhof" followed.

Due to the popularity of the audience, the Eintracht Hasselbach theater crew has decided to offer a theater performance every year.

In 2005 Willi Messinger went into “retirement” and was appointed honorary game director. He was succeeded by Klaus Rumpf, who took over the management together with Reinhold Heuser. Since the death of Reinhold Heuser in 2013, the theater crew has been under the direction of Rosalinde Heid.
