politics

Since 1972 the village has been the administrative seat of the then newly founded municipality of Nüsttal, to which seven other districts belong.

history

The first mention of the village as Escinebach in the registers of the Fulda monastery probably dates back to 1015. The place name at that time indicates the location of the settlement on the Eschenbach. The existence of the place since the middle of the 12th century is firmly documented. Hofaschenbach has been inhabited by a noble family since 1186. A connection route from Fulda to Geisa used to run right through Hofaschenbach .

From 1298 at the latest, Hofaschenbach was the main place of a Fulda court, which, however, unlike the Hofaschenbach Central Court, was later moved to Mackenzell . Mackenzell was also the location of an upper office to which Hofaschenbach belonged in 1802.

Before it became a parish village, Hofaschenbach ecclesiastically belonged to the branch of the Huenfeld monastery parish . Peter and Paul have been titulars of the local church since 1681 . In the years from 1672 to 1685 Hofaschenbach did not have a church because the medieval building was destroyed by fire. New church buildings were built in 1826 and 1955. In 1827 an organ was built by the brothers Johann Georg Oestreich and Johann Adam Oestreich . Before the church received a new organ built by the Rhön organ building workshop Hey Orgelbau in 1993, restoration work took place in 1982 and 1987. In 1744 the 14th Helper Chapel on the Kapellenberg was completed.

On February 1, 1971, Hofaschenbach was merged with five other municipalities to form the new municipality of Nüsttal as part of the regional reform in Hesse .

religion

The parish of Hofaschenbach also includes the Nüsttal districts of Morles , Mittelaschenbach and Oberaschenbach , as well as the subsidiary communities of Rimmels and Silges . Today the parish with the branches Morles, Rimmels and Silges belongs to the deanery of Hünfeld .

The church of St. Peter and Paul in Hofaschenbach is one of the oldest churches in the area. The renowned Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen has already delivered bronze bells for them twice; the bells from 1926 were confiscated and melted down during World War II. After the war, Otto cast three new bronze bells for the Church of St. Peter and Paul with the string of strikes: f '- as'' - b ''. The diameter of the bells measures 1218 mm, 1024 mm and 813 mm. The bells weigh 1200 kg, 700 kg and 350 kg.

Infrastructure

Hofaschenbach is the location of a primary school, a kindergarten and a crèche group.
