history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of the village comes from 786. It was also mentioned as "Azzenheim" or "Atzne". From the late Middle Ages, the village of Hohatzenheim was in the Buchsweiler office , which emerged as the office of the Lichtenberg rule at the beginning of the 14th century . It was a fiefdom of the Bishop of Metz . Around 1330 there was a first, in 1335 a second division of the country between the three lines of the House of Lichtenberg . Hohenatzheim fell half to Johann II von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and half to the descendants of Johann III, who died early . von Lichtenberg , who established the middle line of the house. In 1378 Heinrich IV. Von Lichtenberg sold half of the village to Ulrich von Finstingen . This half was probably bought back later, because Hohatzenheim is later always mentioned as belonging to the Lichtenberg rule.

Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), daughter of Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474), and one of two heirs with claims to the rule, married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen in 1458 (* 1417; † 1480). He had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule. The other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Buchsweiler office - and thus also Hohatzenheim - belonged to the part of Hanau-Lichtenberg that Anna's descendants inherited.

Modern times

Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .

With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Buchsweiler office came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, Hanau-Lichtenberg - and with it the Buchsweiler office - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the upheaval started by the French Revolution , Hohatzenheim became French.

The community of Hohatzenheim formed the Commune nouvelle Wingersheim les Quatre Bans on January 1st, 2016 together with Mittelhausen , Gingsheim and Wingersheim . The community was a member of the Communauté de communes du Pays de la Zorn .

Remarks

  1. Hohatzenheim is assigned to the Amt Brumath in a very late source (cf. Knöpp, p. 4f), which Eyer, p. 238, took over. In fact, it belonged to the Buchsweiler office (Knöpp, p. 5).
