history

Prehistory and early history

The area around Praunheim has been populated since the Neolithic Age (about 6000 years). The basis for this was the loess soil of the Ebelfeld , which is favorable for agricultural yields . Numerous archaeological findings have been secured here.

Between Heddernheim and Praunheim, the remains of at least ten early Roman military camps were found, which formed a strategic focus for the conquest of the Wetterau . A Roman military road led to the Wetterau on the one hand and to Mainz on the other. The Roman city of Nida was on the border of Praunheim. This archaeological site was destroyed on the occasion of the construction of the Roman City (1927-1929) and the Northwest City (1961-1973).

middle Ages

Coat of arms of those of Praunheim on the epitaph of Rudolf von Sachsenhausen

The oldest surviving mention of the place comes from the year 804 under the name Praunheim (Brumheim) as located in Niddagau . In the High Middle Ages , Praunheim was part of the Bornheimerberg court and later office . Praunheim was thus a royal property . In the area of ​​the church, near the Nidda, there was probably a water-defended royal court. The Klettenburg and (since 1676) the Augustusburg were located in the direction of Niederursel in the then swampy Steinbach valley . The local nobility, the lords of Praunheim , were one of the leading families in the Wetterau and provided a number of mayors to the imperial city of Frankfurt am Main in the 12th and 13th centuries .

In 1320 King Ludwig IV pledged the Bornheimerberg to Ulrich II von Hanau , so that half of Praunheim belonged to the Hanau rulership and later to the Hanau-Münzenberg county . The other half belonged to the Counts of Solms . A condominate grew out of this double claim . The Hanau part of Praunheim was initially given as a fief to the Lords of Praunheim . This family played a significant role in the history of Frankfurt. For example, the knight Wolfram I von Praunheim is the first known mayor of the city of Frankfurt am Main.

Another castle, the Old Castle , was in the middle of Praunheim.

In 1132 the Archbishop of Mainz acquired the right to invest in the Praunheim church.

The Praunheim parish originally included Ginnheim , Rödelheim (until 1464), Hausen (until 1772), Heddernheim (until 1821) and Niederursel . The Leonhardstift in Frankfurt had been patronage since 1336 , but the Archbishops of Mainz also claimed it. After the end of the old empire, the city of Frankfurt had the right of patronage until 1906. The middle church authority was the archdeaconate of the provost of St. Peter in Mainz , deanery Eschborn .

Until it was incorporated into the city of Frankfurt, Praunheim owned a community-owned forest on Sandplacken (the area is about 99 hectares with the highest elevation of 684 m above sea level on the Kolbenberg ). The forest is enclosed by the boundary stone trail.

Modern times

Count Friedrich Magnus von Solms and Count Philipp III. von Hanau-Munzenberg introduced the Reformation according to Lutheran teachings in Praunheim in 1545 . The Solms portion of Praunheim belonged to the County of Solms-Rödelheim , Office Rödelheim .

In 1770 a new boundary stone was set after disputes over a boundary had arisen. The Ginnheimers claimed the moat in the Woog for themselves, as it was regularly leased for fish woad.

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. inherited his share in Praunheim together with the county of Hanau-Munzenberg the Landgraves of Hessen-Kassel . The Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel became the Electorate of Hesse in 1803 . The Solms-Rödelheim share of Praunheim fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . Temporarily belonged Praunheim in Napoleonic times , first from 1806 to 1810 to the French Empire , Principality of Hanau , Office Bornheimer mountain , then to the 1810-1813 Grand Duchy of Frankfurt before it was back to a Kondominat between the electorate and the Grand Duchy of Hesse. This mixed situation was cleared up in 1816 when the Grand Duchy ceded its half of Praunheim to the Electorate. After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, during which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, Praunheim belonged to the Hanau district . As an ally of Austria, the electorate was subject to the Kingdom of Prussia in the Austro-Prussian War in 1866 . This annexed then Kurhessen and thus Praunheim. From 1866 Praunheim belonged to the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau , the administrative district of Kassel and the district of Hanau, and from 1886 to the district of Frankfurt . For Apr. 1, 1910 Praunheim was in the city of Frankfurt incorporated .

Praunheim settlement

To alleviate the dramatic housing shortage after the First World War , the building construction department head Ernst May, appointed by Mayor Ludwig Landmann, had a satellite town built in Praunheim, west of the old town center between Heerstrasse and the Nidda . In the Praunheim housing estate, almost 1,500 Bauhaus-style apartments were built in just a few years (1926–1929) . The Praunheim settlement is considered to be the prototype of social housing in Frankfurt and far beyond, although it is not about rental housing construction by a non-profit housing association, as was common in almost all settlements of the twenties throughout Germany, but a Reichsheimstättensiedlung directly through the city of Frankfurt was built and their residential buildings were sold after completion with the social ties on the homestead. The Frankfurt kitchen , which was first installed in the Praunheim housing estate, was also known , an architectural design that radically differed from the kitchen-living room that was customary up to that time, according to which the kitchen was only a small, purely functional room ( laboratory kitchen ). Instead, the apartment was equipped with a living room as a family meeting point, a space that was previously unfamiliar to workers.

At a first meeting on June 30, 1927, the residents of the Praunheim settlement formed the "Siedlerverein der Siedlung Frankfurt a. M. - Praunheim ”, which represents the interests of the owners who have been exempted from being bound by the Reichsheimstätten since 1993.
