history
prehistory
In the Hochstädter Forest there are two groups of barrows , south of the road to Hanau on the edge of the Braubach lowland the Töngeswald burial ground (probably Bronze Age barrow ) and north of the road in the Burghege forest district ( Hallstatt period ). They were excavated in 1884 and 1878 by the Hanau District Association for Hessian History and Regional Studies .
middle Ages
The oldest surviving mention of Hochstadt can be found in a document from 846.
Hochstadt belonged to the Electorate of Mainz , but was given to Hanau as a fief . In the rule and later county of Hanau , from 1458: County Hanau-Münzenberg , Hochstadt belonged to the office of Büchertal . However, numerous other rights and goods also had here, such as the monasteries Lorsch , Fulda and Haina , the branch of the Antoniter Order in Roßdorf and the Lords of Eppstein .
The ring wall , which is still largely in place today, was built around 1350 . In 1375 a pastor and a vicar are mentioned. The later desolation of Groschlag was parish off to Hochstadt. Groschlag fell desolate before the Thirty Years' War began . The patronage of the church of Hochstadt was held by the Lords of Karben , and since 1510 the Georgskirche in Friedberg . The middle church authority was the archdeaconate of the provost of St. Maria ad Gradus in Mainz, Landkapitel Roßdorf .
The main occupations at this time were agriculture and viticulture .
Historical forms of names
In documents that have survived, Hochstadt was mentioned under the following names (the year it was mentioned in brackets):
- Hohunsteter marca (846)
- Hohstat (1256)
- Hohinstat (1265)
Early modern age
In the middle of the 16th century, the Reformation took hold in the county of Hanau-Münzenberg, initially in its Lutheran form. In a "second Reformation", the denomination of the County of Hanau-Munzenberg was changed again: From 1597 Count Philipp Ludwig II pursued a decidedly reformed church policy. He made use of the Jus reformandi , his right as sovereign to determine the denomination of his subjects, and made this largely binding for the county, as was the case in Hochstadt. During the time of the consistorial constitution , the clergyman in charge of the pastor of Hochstadt was in office in Bergen . From the end of the 17th century there was a Lutheran congregation in Hochstadt in addition to the Reformed church. Their pastor also looked after the Lutheran congregation in Kesselstadt . The Lutheran and Reformed congregations of the former county of Hanau-Münzenberg were united in the Hanau Union in 1818 .
After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , 1736, Landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the County of Hanau-Münzenberg and thus also the office of Büchertal with Hochstadt on the basis of an inheritance contract from 1643.
Modern times
During the Napoleonic period, Hochstadt was under French military administration from 1806 to 1810 and then belonged to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , Hanau Department, from 1810 to 1813 . Then it fell back to Hessen-Kassel, now called " Electorate of Hesse ". A fundamental administrative reform was carried out here in 1821: The office of Büchertal was added to the newly formed Hanau district.
In the 1930s a settlement was built west of the town center, in the 1960s the first larger apartment buildings in the east and at the turn of the millennium the residential area on the site of the former Kling company.
On July 1, 1974, the municipalities of Hochstadt, Bischofsheim , Wachenbuchen and the city of Dörnigheim were merged into the city of Maintal by means of state law as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
