history

The place is over 680 years old and was first mentioned in 1322 as villa Heynes (place on the grove ). The part of the name -hain suggests an earlier settlement in the period from the 8th to the 12th century. The settlement had developed around a feudal yard. The "Heeneser Mühle", a water mill, first mentioned in 1597, was used to grind the grain until the middle of the 19th century.

Between 1624 and 1626, 34 residents died of the plague . The population of Heenes decreased from 17 to 10 during the Thirty Years War . Eight farmsteads had become desolate.

The villages of Heenes, Kalkobes and Allmershausen initially used (since unthinkable times) the church and the burial place on the Frauenberg as part of the Hersfeld parish . It was not until 1912 that a separate cemetery was established in Heenes. Three Heenese school periods are historically documented: the first teacher was mentioned in 1722 (Hans Georg Lentz, who was also linen weaver), the second schoolhouse was opened in December 1839 and the third was inaugurated on September 8, 1952. Initially, church and school were spatially closely related: services were held in the schoolhouse. In 1952, the parish acquired the second school building that has now become vacant and was demolished in 1965. In the same year the new Protestant parish hall was inaugurated.

The shell limestone found in Heenes was processed into fertilizer lime and mortar in three lime kilns . The first lime kiln was mentioned in 1747. The historical locations of these systems were today's Ernst-Reuter-Straße 4, as well as the south side of the Ziegenrück. Another economic use of the shell limestone was the cultivation of lentils in Heenes. This may have led to the coining of the popular local names "Linseloch" or "Bad Lins".

Until the middle of the 19th century, the conifers growing around Heenes, especially spruce and pine, were used by local pitch- boilers to extract pitch . The pitch was used, among other things, to seal barrels. There was a kiln each 1.2 km northwest of Heenes and in the middle part of the Hottenbachtal. Resin was produced until 1955 .

A midwife , jointly committed by Heenes, Kalkobes and Allmershausen, was mentioned for the first time in a municipality bill in 1802. In 1845 the community of Heenes financed the training of its own midwife at the midwifery school in Marburg with 7 thalers .

The earlier traditional clothing of women is to be assigned to the Hersfeld costume . A special feature was the headgear with the pointed hood, which was called "Hubbeltracht". After the turn of the 20th century, headgear lost its importance and later there was a transition to urban fashion. In 1934, 48 of 184 women (26%) wore traditional costume. According to a report from 1879, the men's summer clothing consisted of a black cloth cap, a blue and white polka-dot scarf, a blue linen smock, black-striped cotton trousers and a linen shirt and shoes.

During the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) there were French troops in Heenes. In 1812 a Heeneser was killed in Napoleon's Russian campaign . Thirteen men of the village took part in the wars of liberation against Napoleon, one of whom fell in 1814. In 1866 a Heeneser went to war with Germany ; 1870–1871 three were in the Franco-Prussian War . In the First World War were 11 and in World War II to complain 35 casualties or missing. On March 31, 1945, the village was liberated from fascism by American troops .

At the height of a strike in the textile industry in 1958, violent verbal arguments broke out between those willing to work and those on strike. According to the police report, 250 to 300 people had jammed around an omnibus that was bringing strike-breaking textile workers to Heenes. The workers were then escorted to their apartments under police protection with drawn rubber truncheons.

In 1968 Heenes was the area winner in the competition: " Our village should be more beautiful ".

Originally independent, the municipality became a district of the district town of Bad Hersfeld on December 31, 1971 as part of the Hessian regional reform . The last mayor was Friedrich Sandlos, who did a great job building the church and the community center (built in 1965 as the most modern in the district at the time, renovated in 1997).

Heenes was included in the village renewal program of the state of Hesse in 1990, so that the architectural improvement of the public buildings, the canal and the road system were defining for the following decade.

On May 22, 2009, Heenes took part in the vote to move into the finals of the “ Dolles Dorf ” competition organized by Hessischer Rundfunk .

emigration

Valentin Hack, a soldier of Hersfelder Infantry Regiment Prince Charles, 1776-1783 as a result of soldiers trade under Landgrave Friedrich II. Of Hesse-Kassel at the American Revolutionary War took part, remained in the United States . Other Heeneser followed him in the mid to late 19th century, including to Vermilion in the US state of Ohio , a place that had had a German Protestant church since 1852 and had 275 inhabitants in 1860. The prevailing poverty is to be seen as an essential "push" factor of emigration: In 1846 the community of Heenes bought breadfruit from the Niederaula renting company for 52 talers in order to distribute it among the needy. The wave of emigration to America subsided after 1900, when the industry in Hersfeld experienced an upswing.
