Prehistory and early history

The oldest traces of human life to date from the area around Hofheim date from the Paleolithic with the oldest find around 40,000 BC. From the Neolithic Age from approx. 5000 BC. Settlement areas on the banks of the Schwarzbach, on both sides of today's Schmelzweg and on the Kapellenberg were identified. Especially the Michelsberg culture around 4400 to 3500 BC. Chr. Shows through numerous traces of settlement and finds on the Kapellenberg (ring wall system). The area was settled by the Romans around 30/40 AD . a. To secure the Wetterau , to secure the route between Mainz and Nida in today's Frankfurt-Heddernheim as well as to protect the Limes triangle , two forts were built - first an earth fort and from 75 AD under Emperor Vespasian also a stone fort that was built until 110 AD existed.

Middle Ages and Modern Times

The first documentary mention was made in 1254 under the name Hoveheim , the suffix -heim, however, indicates a much earlier Franconian foundation. Hofheim belonged to Count Philip VI. the elder von Falkenstein , when Emperor Karl IV. granted Hofheim city ​​rights on March 21, 1352 under the name Hobeheim . This document gave the gentlemen over Hofheim the right to build walls, gates and bridges, to erect a gallows, to hold court, to do handicrafts and to hold markets. In the imperial war against Philip the Elder of Falkenstein ( Falkensteiner Feud ) the city was conquered by Kurmainz in 1366 , to whom it was subject until 1418. This was followed by the rule of the Counts of Eppstein -Königstein until the family died out in 1535. Only two owners changed during the 16th century. From 1535 to 1574 the rule of Eppstein-Königstein belonged to Count Ludwig von Stolberg, who introduced the Reformation in Hofheim in 1540, and from 1574 to 1581 Christoph von Stolberg. But as early as 1559, Elector and Archbishop Daniel Brendel von Homburg had redeemed an old pledge and thereby got Eppstein and Hofheim back. After the death of Christoph von Stolberg in 1581 the rest of the County of Königstein also went to Kurmainz.

Under the government of Wolfgang von Dalberg , Archbishop and Elector of Mainz , and his successor Johann Adam von Bicken, the witch trials in Kurmainz reached their climax between 1588 and 1602 in the two offices of Höchst and Hofheim. From the remains of old court records, the remains of the Aschaffenburg archives , 23 women could be identified who were accused of witchcraft, 15 of whom were killed at the stake. The city council of Hofheim am Taunus decided on November 3, 2010 to rehabilitate the citizens convicted of witchcraft.

Until the beginning of 1603, Protestantism was the predominant religion among the inhabitants, despite the fact that the city belonged to the Catholic Kurmainz. It was not until June of this year that the Protestant pastor was replaced by a Catholic pastor. During the Thirty Years' War , Spanish, Bavarian, Swedish and French troops occupied, looted and devastated the city and the current districts. Residents were tortured into hiding cattle, horses and household items. In addition to famine, epidemics broke out again and again and in 1635 the plague spread in the region. In Hofheim, the number of men (citizens) in 1635 fell from 76 and 13 widows to 27 people within four years (no division into men and widows). At the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648 there were finally 40 men and 4 widows. In principle, children, women and inmates were not included in the censuses. From 1665 the plague raged in Mainz and Frankfurt as well as in the region of today's Main-Taunus-Kreis. The following year Hofheim was still plague-free and on July 3, 1666 Pastor Gleidener led the residents in a procession to the "Rabberg" (today Kapellenberg) to take a vow: If the city was spared the plague, in honor of the Holy Virgin Mary a chapel to be built at this point. The chapel was built in 1667 and replaced by a successor in 1774.

With the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789 , a 26-year period of peace ended for Hofheim. The population had reached a modest level of prosperity and had grown to a thousand. With the occupation of the city of Mainz by French revolutionary troops and finally the city of Frankfurt in 1792, the Hofheimers began to suffer for years. Changing troop marches and billeting resulted in looting, famine and epidemics.

In the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 Hofheim fell to the Principality of Nassau-Usingen . In 1806 it was merged with the Principality of Nassau-Weilburg . Together they formed the Duchy of Nassau . In 1866 it came under Prussian rule and from then on existed as the province of Hessen-Nassau . After Hofheim was out of the way in terms of traffic for a long time, the city was connected to the railway network from 1874 to 1877 with the construction of the Main-Lahn-Bahn between Frankfurt and Limburg . Another economic upswing began. Hofheim also became interesting for Taunus tourists from Frankfurt due to the rail connection.

20./21. century

The First World War 1914–1918 claimed its victims: 121 men died in acts of war. Many residents, especially children, died as a result of malnutrition. After the armistice agreement of November 11, 1918, Hofheim was occupied by French troops on December 2, which lasted until 1929 (officially until 1930). Hofheim was within the thirty-kilometer radius of Mainz, which had to be freed from German soldiers - according to the demands of the victors. In these zones were the cities of Cologne and Koblenz, the area to the right of the Rhine and the city of Kehl (the latter with a smaller radius).

In 1933 the Nazis came to power in Hofheim as well. In the Reichstag election on March 5, 36.91 percent of the residents of Hofheim voted for the NSDAP. In the local elections on March 12, 1933, this won 6 out of 12 seats. The other seats went to the SPD (3) and the Center Party (3). The SPD was banned on June 22nd, and the Center Party disbanded under massive pressure on July 5th. Thus, the NSDAP was the only remaining party in the Hofheim city parliament and from July 24th the only legal party in the German Reich.

By April 11, 1933, the previous mayors in 13 municipalities in the Main-Taunus district had been replaced by NSDAP members. Oskar Meyrer held the mayor's office in Hofheim from 1920 and was to keep it until his death on August 1, 1942. After that, the position was not filled again, but instead continued to be exercised by the local group leader Georg Kaufmann.

With the takeover of power, discrimination and persecution of communists, social democrats, members of the Confessing Church and, above all, Jewish residents began. There had been a Jewish community since the Middle Ages. Around 1800 the members established a synagogue in the former defense tower / Büttelturm. In 1933 the community had about 35 members. In the night of November 9th to 10th 1938 ( Reichspogromnacht ) this synagogue was devastated. Due to the narrow buildings in the old town, lighting was not used. The synagogue in Wallau (a district of Hofheim since 1977) suffered a similar fate. Only some residents were able to save themselves by emigrating abroad; the others were deported and died in concentration camps.

After the end of the Second World War, Hofheim fell to the newly founded state of Hesse.

For January 1, 1980 Hofheim im Taunus new county seat of Main-Taunus district, the final move was made but only in 1987 with the completion of the new circuit house in Hofheim, previously the administrative center was located in Frankfurt's Höchst , who until the incorporation to Frankfurt in 1928 as an independent city Höchst am Main was part of the district.

In 1988 the city of Hofheim was the 28th  Hessentagstadt .

Between 2008 and 2014, the artist Gunter Demnig laid 89  stumbling blocks for victims of National Socialism in Hofheim and the districts of Marxheim, Diedenbergen, Wallau and Langenhain .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1938, Marxheim was incorporated. As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Langenhain was added on a voluntary basis on December 31, 1971, Diedenbergen on April 1, 1972 and Lorsbach on July 1, 1972 . Wallau and Wildsachsen followed by law on January 1, 1977 . Local districts with local advisory councils and local councilors were formed for all parts of the city and the core city .

Population development

Around 1900 Hofheim had around 2,800 inhabitants, in 1908 already 4,040, in 1938 then 7,800. In 1972 the number had grown to 27,500, in 1977 to 33,000. It peaked in 2002 with 40,863 inhabitants, after which the number fell. It wasn't until 2017 that the 40,000 mark was exceeded again.
