location
Henschhausen is 300 m above sea level on the left plateau of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley at the eastern end of the Hunsrück . The place is connected to the main town Bacharach, which is located south on the banks of the Rhine, by the district road 21 Bacharach - Oberwesel , which runs through the Leimbachtal. In terms of tourism, it is part of the Rheingoldstrasse that runs over the left Rhine heights . The next larger town on the K 21 is Langscheid , which already belongs to Oberwesel. The Rheinburgenweg is ideal for hikers .
history
The place is mentioned for the first time in 1319 as Hentzhusen, together with Medenscheid and the Viertäler as early as 1104 in a document from Archbishop Friedrich I. von Schwarzenburg . According to the description of the Oberamt Bacharach from 1669, Henschhausen consisted of two farms. According to the wisdom of 1387, these belonged to Kurköln and were given to the Bacharach nobles as a fief . Henschhausen belonged to the fourth valleys , whose inhabitants had special privileges with Bacharach as a suburb. The place also belonged to Bacharach in church. From 1541 the Wittelsbachers of the Electoral Palatinate reformed their quarter valleys around Bacharach (parishes in the Koblenz church district). Since then he has been predominantly Protestant. Henschhausen has had its own small chapel since 1958, which is looked after from Bacharach. Since June 1, 2012, the Protestant congregations of the Viertäler have been merged into one congregation.
After the end of feudal rule , the Viertäler belonged to the Mairie and canton of Bacharach in the Département de Rhin-et-Moselle during the French period , then to Prussia and, since June 7, 1969, to the district of Mainz-Bingen in Rhineland-Palatinate .
economy
In addition to agriculture and viticulture and now tourism - there is a four-star hotel and a few holiday apartments in Henschhausen - the Rhein mine, founded in 1889, offered the inhabitants work. Up until the 1960s, the slate roof was dismantled here. Since then, only slate flour has been produced from raw material deposits in a mineral grinding plant. Most of the approximately 300 inhabitants today are out-commuters.

Henschhausen is designated as a local district and therefore has a local advisory board and a local councilor . The local advisory board consists of five local advisory board members. In the local elections on May 26, 2019 , the advisory board members were elected by majority vote. The mayor is Eckart Steeg. He was re-elected in the 2019 local elections with 58.23% of the vote.
