history

middle Ages

In the Middle Ages , Hohl belonged to the Mömbris court , which in turn was part of the Alzenau free court . The free court was directly imperial , but the empire pledged or lent the area again and again. So the rulers changed, including the lords and later counts of Hanau , the lords of Randenburg and the lords of Eppstein .

Modern times

In 1500 , the Roman-German King Maximilian I enfeoffed the Archbishop of Mainz and the Count of Hanau-Munzenberg together with the Freigericht, which they now administered as a condominium . Since ecclesiastical jurisdiction remained with the Archbishops of Mainz at the time of the condominium , the Reformation - in contrast to the County of Hanau-Münzenberg - could not prevail here. Hohl remained Roman Catholic .

With Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family died in 1736. The Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel was the heir of the Hanau-Münzenberg part of the state by virtue of a treaty . Whether his legacy also extended to Hanau's share in the condominium was heavily disputed in the following years between Kurmainz and Hessen-Kassel. The dispute ended in a compromise, the "party recession" of 1740, which provided for a real division of the condominium. However, it took until 1748 for the treaty to be implemented. Hollow thereby fell to Kurmainz.

According to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, Hohl became part of the newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg of the Prince Primate von Dalberg, with whom it finally fell to Bavaria in 1814 (then a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt).

The northern part of Hohl had been part of the Mömbris market for a long time and was called Mömbris-Hohl . Before 1974, the southern half was an independent municipality in the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia with its own mayor and was then called Johannesberg -Hohl . The base of the volunteer fire brigade and the parish church of St. Mary's Visitation , built in 1957, are located there . Since January 1st 1974, Hohl has been part of the Mömbris market.

Lourdes grotto

The Lourdes grotto in Hohl

The Lourdes grotto in Hohl north of the village square was consecrated to the Assumption of Mary in 1926 . The carpenter Johannes Fath (* 1859; † 1940) from Hohl had it built in gratitude for the fact that he was cured of his incurable tuberculosis in 1925 after returning home from a pilgrimage to Lourdes in France . To be able to undertake this pilgrimage, he had previously sold all of his private property. In honor of this, a street in Hohl was named Johann Fath Street.

Every year in May the Grotto Festival takes place in Hohl. This Saturday evening it will open with a procession of lights from the church to the grotto. There is a Stations of the Cross prayer on Sunday morning . After the arrival of the pilgrim procession from Gunzenbach, there is a high mass in front of the grotto. The day of pilgrimage ends with evening prayer.

In addition to the grotto festival, the hollow curb takes place every year on a meadow on the village square in front of the grotto .
