history

View from the vantage point of the Hattenheim Castle and the St. Vincentius Church
Around 1873, the governments of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse decided to straighten the Rhine and split the natural floodplains. The aim was to remove obstacles to shipping. The straightening of the Rhine was carried out in Germany between 1817 and 1879 by the engineer Johann Gottfried Tulla and his successors to straighten and make the Rhine navigable.
The Steinberg is one of the best vineyards in the Rheingau. The history is closely connected with the Neuhof and the Eberbach monastery and goes back to the 12th century.
The history of the Neuhof goes back to the 12th century. The Mainz Abbey of St. Johann gives a fief against interest to the Eberbach monastery. The feudal estate includes two courtyards, one in Hallgarten and one south of the Leimersbach, the Neuhof.
Willborn was mentioned as early as 1212 as "Welleborn" (strongly flowing fountain). The complex was designed in 1992, the chapel was restored in 1992. Inside is St. Margareta, the patron saint of winemakers.

Hattenheim was very likely settled as early as the Neolithic . This is evident from finds in the area of ​​today's primary school and the surrounding area. The assumption goes back to a foundation of the Rhine Franconia, probably from the 8th century. A certain Hadur or Hadir settled here. The name of the place in the Rheingau used to be formed by the personal name + heim. The Hadirsheim can be derived from this.

Hattenheim is first mentioned in writing around 954. At that time, Hattenheim became a church branch of Eltville. The place got the right to occupy its chapel with a priest who was allowed to baptize and baptize. Around 1118 the Hattenheimer Burg was built or extended to this structure. It served the "nobles of Hattenheim" and later passed to Baron Langwerth von Simmern and is still owned by the family today. The Greiffenclauer Hof settled next to the castle. In 1174 the community of Hattenheim donated a spring to the neighboring Eberbach monastery . The monastery inventory of goods from 1211 shows that most of the vineyards belonged to the monastery at that time. In 1239, Hattenheim sold a path through Steinberg and the Mehrholz forest to the Eberbach monastery. The Margaret Chapel and the oldest half-timbered house were built around 1320/1321.

The important Hattenheim viticulture is particularly confirmed by the well-known Schröderbruderschaftsbuch from 1442. In 1488 Hattenheim got its own court seal. Around 1740 the Hattenheim baroque church St. Vincentius was built on the place of the Margaret Chapel. It was dedicated to the martyr Vincent of Valencia . The early Gothic tower dates back to the 13th century. The Auxiliary Bishop of Mainz Johann Valentin Heimes was born in Hattenheim in 1741 as the third child of the winemaker Christian Heimes.

Since the founding of Hattenheim, the large estates of the families Baron Langwerth von Simmern , Count von Schönborn-Wiesentheid , Prince Friedrich of Prussia, Count Matuschka- Greiffenclau , as well as the state domain and the city of Eltville dominated. Hattenheim had more than 80 independent wine-growing businesses.

Auxiliary Bishop Valentin Heimes dies in 1806 at the age of 65. In 1814 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe took a cure in Wiesbaden. During a trip through the Rheingau on August 16, 1814, he also visited the Rochus Festival in Hattenheim.

Hattenheim belonged with the entire Rheingau to the Kurmainzian territory. 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 . After the annexation of the duchy by Prussia , the place was assigned to the Rheingau district in the Wiesbaden administrative region in 1867 .

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Hattenheim was incorporated into the city of Eltville on July 1, 1972 on a voluntary basis . Local districts with local advisory councils and local councilors were formed for both the core city and the city districts .

Religions

The Protestant Christians of Hattenheim belong to the Evangelical Church Community of Oestrich-Winkel, which was founded in 1891 and whose church is located in the Oestrich-Winkler district of Mittelheim . The Catholic parish of St. Vincentius is part of the Eltville pastoral area .

Hattenheim vineyards

Hattenheim is particularly preferred among the wine villages of the Rheingau due to the quality of the soil. With 268 hectares of vineyards, viticulture in Hattenheim takes up most of the agriculturally usable area. The vineyards of the Hattenheim district are summarized in the large Deutelsberg area.

The most famous location is the Steinberg , which was laid out in the Middle Ages by the Cistercian monks of the neighboring Eberbach Monastery at the edge of the forest on a steep southwest slope and was surrounded by a high slate-covered quarry stone wall. The wall served to protect the vineyard, it also favored the microclimate and was named because of the amount of stones used there. The Steinberg was managed via the adjacent Neuhof , a farm yard of the monastery. The Steinberg is the sole property of the Hessian State Winery Kloster Eberbach and has been home to the new Steinbergkeller , the central winery of the State Winery , since 2008 .

Other well-known locations are the well locations Nussbrunnen and Wisselbrunnen , which are often mentioned in the same breath as the neighboring Erbacher Marcobrunn . The Mannberg also shares a border with it and is, so to speak, its extension to the west along the old federal road to the locality of Hattenheim. The locations are completed by Pfaffenberg , Hinterhaus, Hassel, Engelmannsberg, Schützenhaus and Heiligenberg . Last but not least, think of the Rheingarten , which also extends to the Mariannenaue island .
