history

A witness report from 1233, kept in the papal archive, about the first miraculous healing of a girl Adelhaidi , who was born in Hoheneiche and recovered from her suffering on November 19, 1231 at the grave of St. Elisabeth of Thuringia , is the first mention of the place. The place was mentioned again in 1264 when Hoheneiche came from Thuringia to the newly created Landgraviate of Hesse. The St. Martin chapel, which was initially built in the Romanesque architectural style, was expanded into a church around 1300 and received a choir tower. The church, along with other buildings in the village, fell victim to a fire in 1637, which the Croatians had started during an attack. During the reconstruction, it was decided to add a half-timbered storey to the tower.

The noble place owned by the Lords of Boyneburg came to the landgrave office of Bischhausen in 1654 . Between 1807 and 1813 the place was part of the canton of Reichensachsen in the Kingdom of Westphalia . On August 21, 1801, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe traveled through Hoheneiche and draws the church . At that time the trade route from Leipzig to Holland ran right through the village. Since 1821 the place belonged to the Eschwege district .

The TRUMPF stocking factories Rollmann & Rose , founded by Abraham Rollmann and Abraham Rose in Cologne in 1869, built a new manufacturing facility for the manual production of stockings and socks in Hoheneiche in the 1890s. Under the management of the Kaufmann family , colored sample machines were set up in the 1920s and the company became a brand name for hosiery in Germany . In 1938 the company was " Aryanized ". With 650 employees, the company was the largest employer in town in the 1960s. There were branch factories in Grebendorf and Eschwege. Due to the similarity of the name to the corsetry brand name TRIUMPH , there was a lawsuit in 1968 before the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court , which the Hoheneich company won.

On February 1, 1971, Oetmannshausen and Hoheneiche merged to form the new municipality of Hoheneiche as part of the regional reform in Hesse . This new community Hoheneiche came on December 31, 1971 to the community Wehretal.
