About this picture

Homberg (Ohm) is a town in the Vogelsbergkreis in central Hesse .

geography

location

The state-approved health resort Homberg is located about 19 km southeast of Marburg on the southeastern edge of the Amöneburger basin ( Ohmtalsenke ) and on the southwest slopes of the northern Vogelsberg foothills counted, 358-meter high mountain it (in Homberg also high mountain called) and its offshoots (in East the 349 m high Wilchesburg ).

Beyond the parts of the city on a good 200 m above sea ​​level flowing through Ohm , a tributary of the Lahn , the city lies immediately south of the 331 m high Herrmannsberg , about five kilometers west-northwest the 407 m high Mardorfer Kuppe - both elevations of the Lumda plateau ("Vorderer Vogelsberg").

While the Vorderer Vogelsberg and Nördliches Vogelsberg-Vorland have the Vogelsberg in their name, but still belong to the West Hessian highlands , the district of Homberg meets the Untere Vogelsberg , a good four kilometers south of the core town , which, although not in height, is geologically part of the Vogelsberg can be counted in the broader sense and, like this one, belongs to the East Hessian mountainous region.

All the surrounding mountain ranges have in common that less than half of their area is forested and that they have a high density of wind turbines .

Neighboring communities

Homberg borders the city of Stadtallendorf ( Marburg-Biedenkopf district ) in the north, the city of Kirtorf in the northeast, the municipality of Gemünden in the southeast, the municipality of Mücke in the south, and the town of Grünberg and the municipality of Rabenau (both in the district of Gießen ), to the west to the municipality of Ebsdorfergrund , and to the northwest to the city of Amöneburg (both districts of Marburg-Biedenkopf).

City structure

The city of Homberg consists of the eponymous core city of the districts Appenrod , Bleidenrod , Büßfeld , Dannenrod , ceilingbach , Erbenhausen , Gontershausen , Haarhausen , Höingen , Maulbach , Nieder-Ofleiden , Ober-Ofleiden and Schadenbach .

history

It was King Heinrich IV who, at the request of his mother Agnes, gave the Hersfeld monastery "ten hooves" with all accessories in "Hohunburch" in the county of Werner III. in the Lahngau. That was in 1065 AD and this is the first official mention of Homberg. It is no longer possible to determine when the mountain in the Ohm valley was first settled.

Another donation to the Hersfeld monastery was dated in 1146 , this time from King Konrad III. , who ceded half of his property to the monastery, but with the express note that the mountain itself had to remain in royal possession. From this information we can conclude that there must have been a castle in Homberg as early as the 12th century. The granting of town charter cannot be precisely dated either - Homberg was first mentioned as a town from the year 1234. There is also some other evidence that Homberg already had a fixed town structure at that time.

Castle (2009)

The ruins of Homberg Castle (Schloss Homberg) from the 11th century are located on the Schlossberg near Homberg .

The first coat of arms of the city of Homberg shows a typical motif for a landgrave city these days. A stylized city castle over a clover leaf arch, under which a lion walks to the left . This coat of arms and the intensive efforts of the Thuringian landgrave to found cities suggest that it was this landgrave to whom Homberg owes its long history as a city. A number of other cities were founded in this way, including Alsfeld and Marburg . The landgraves had the goal of creating financial and military bases in the country, so the country should be secured.

Also appearing on the Ludowinger following Hessian Landgrave followed this strategy. Homberg gained importance as the seat of a landgrave's office and a city and regional court. According to an entry from 1587, the Homberg district also included the villages of Appenrod, Büßfeld, ceilingbach, Höingen, Ehringshausen, Gontershausen, Haarhausen, Maulbach, Nieder-Ofleiden, Ober-Ofleiden, Schadenbach, Rülfen and the Wäldershausen estate. This division was adopted almost unchanged during the municipal reform of 1972, whereby Ehringshausen and Rülfenrod do not belong to the city of Homberg, but Maulbach, Bleidenrod and Dannenrod do. Homberg's castle served as the official residence and residence for landgrave officials. Even in its current appearance, the castle still reveals a lot from the 13th and 15th centuries, even though the keep was finally destroyed in the Thirty Years War . In the years that followed, the castle itself was often lent as a pledge, as the landgraves wanted to borrow money from the nobles in the area.

Landgrave Philipp the Magnanimous died in 1567 and he had decreed in his will that Homberg should belong to Hessen-Marburg , but in 1604 the city became part of Hessen-Darmstadt.

In the Middle Ages, Homberg not only played an important role as a judicial and administrative hub on the edge of the Vogelsberg. A mint was mentioned in Homberg as early as the 13th century. In addition, the convenient location between the Leipzig and Frankfurt trading centers also ensured good development as a market location. Even Philip the Magnanimous had given Homberg the first market privileges in 1554. Six cattle and junk markets were held each year, of which the cold market held on the third Wednesday in October has survived to this day. The town became more economical with the wine and brandy law (from 1671) and the brewery. Schools were mentioned as early as 1529.

The town church, which to this day has a characteristic roof shape due to lack of money, was built in the first half of the 13th century. In addition, there was an even older castle chapel until around 1700, which then fell into disrepair. The cemetery chapel, which was built in the late Gothic style in 1565, is mentioned again and again. The reason for the construction of its own cemetery chapel was the relocation of the burial place to the outside.

The initial economic rise of Homberg was strongly curbed by disasters and epidemics. Many large fires made the Hombergers to create, especially in 1657 almost the entire city was destroyed in a large fire. The Thirty Years' War also brought little good for Homberg. Three campaigns reached Homberg in 1635, 1641 and 1646, during which the city was destroyed and devastated. In contrast, Homberg was halfway spared in the Seven Years' War , but suffered from billeting.

In 1750, Homberg had again reached the 1,000 population limit for the first time since the great population losses in the Thirty Years War. Around 1,800 people lived in the city in the mid-19th century. In the period that followed, the population shrank again by a quarter, as many Hombergers emigrated to the USA . According to a census of 1840 Homberg had 1,743 inhabitants.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Homberg an der Ohm in 1830:

“Homberg (L. Bez. Kirtorf) city; lies on the Ohm, 2 St. von Kirtorf and 1266 Hess. (974 par.) Feet above the sea on a basalt mountain. The city has 251 houses and 1659 inhabitants, who are Protestant apart from 3 Catholics and 88 Jews, then 2 churches, 1 castle, 1 town hall, 1 brewery, 7 grinding mills and 1 pharmacy. The castle, located at a height above the city, used to be the seat of the judiciary and is now the rent office apartment. Homberg is also the seat of the regional court and the tax commissioner. 269 ​​of the inhabitants are engaged in civil trades and 6 are real farmers; among the first there are several tanners and woolen weavers. In the area there is a basalt quarry on the grove and a break in white sandstones on the way to Maulbach, which can only be used as masonry stones. 2 grocer's and 3 grocer's and cattle markets are held annually. - Homberg appears in 1065 under the name Hohunburch , and is not mentioned again until 1293, when Landgrave Heinrich I left a part of Upper Hesse to his son Otto. A document from 1328 names it as a castle. At that time, Landgrave Heinrich II donated an altar in the church. But Homberg already appears as a town in 1371. In 1436, the city and its accessories came as a pledge for 4,000 Rthlr. Gold gulden, to parakeet von Berlepsch. In the past, the city owned the Riedesel and Milchling Schutzpar as a deposit. "

In 1938 the city had 1,482 inhabitants, the official name at that time was Homberg (Upper Hesse) .

After the Second World War , the city developed more and more into a middle center for the middle Ohmtal, to which the settlement of industrial companies made a significant contribution.

On December 20, 1973 the city name Homberg (Alsfeld district) was officially changed to Homberg (Ohm) ; the district had already been dissolved on August 1, 1972 and merged into the Vogelsbergkreis.

Incorporations

On October 1, 1971, the communities Appenrod, Bleidenrod, Büßfeld, Dannenrod, Erbenhausen, Gontershausen, Haarhausen, Höingen, Maulbach, Ober-Ofleiden and Schadenbach were incorporated. On December 31, 1971, Bettenbach and Nieder-Ofleiden were added.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Homberg (Ohm) was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus the "Office Homberg an der Ohm" was responsible for Homberg. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance were transferred to the newly created regional courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. " Regional Court Homberg an der Ohm " was therefore from 1821 to 1879 the name of the court of first instance in Homberg an der Ohm, which was now responsible for Homberg.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts at the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Local Court Homberg an der Ohm" and Allocation to the district of the regional court in Giessen . On June 15, 1943, the court became a branch of the Alsfeld District Court, but was converted into a full court again with effect from June 1, 1948. On July 1, 1968, the district court was dissolved, and Homberg was assigned to the area of ​​the Kirchhain district court. In 1973, Homberg moved to the jurisdiction of the Alsfeld District Court . The regional court of Giessen , the higher regional court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice are now in higher-level instances.

religion

Evangelical

The church building of the Protestant town church at the town church 7 is in Homberg.

Catholic

Since the end of World War II , the number of Catholic believers in Homberg / Ohm has increased steadily. The reason for this was the large number of displaced people who quickly found a new home here. In the first years the Protestant town church was the place where the Catholic parishioners celebrated Holy Mass. On July 16, 1950, the cemetery chapel was consecrated as a Catholic church. This late Gothic half-timbered building from 1565 was only a temporary solution. The cramped space in the cemetery chapel soon made it clear that only a new building could remedy this. In 1957 two private properties were bought and the foundation stone was laid on July 3, 1960 . On April 30th and May 1st, 1961 the time had finally come. With a large participation of the parishioners , the Bishop of Mainz , Dr. Albert Stohr entered the St. Matthias Church at 49 Burgring in Homberg. After years of improvisation, the Catholic community in Homberg / Ohm now had a church .

politics

Homberg coat of arms
Blazon : “In blue over a golden (yellow) cloverleaf arch a silver (white) castle with a central tower, flanked by two smaller towers with red roofs; under the cloverleaf arch the golden (yellow) crowned colorful Hessian lion striding to the left. "
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms is derived from seals from the 13th century, which until 1274 showed the Thuringian and then the Hessian lion. At times there was uncertainty about the timing . The current one follows the design by Otto Hupp

Regular events

On the second weekend in July, the "historic castle festival" takes place, a community festival around the Homberg castle. It is organized by the castle patriots Homberg an der Ohm .

Every third weekend in July, the "Homberger Brunnenfest", a citizens and old town festival, takes place around the historic town hall on the market square. This event, organized by the minstrel and fanfare corps of the Homberg (Ohm) volunteer fire brigade, has been a fixture in the calendar of events for years and inspires visitors from near and far.

The cold market takes place every third Wednesday in October . Tens of thousands of visitors then meander through the historic old town past the stalls of the market operators. This regionally important market took place in 2006 for the 452nd time.

At the beginning of summer and during Advent the Silcher Choir Homberg gives its traditional concerts in the town hall and in the Protestant town church or the Catholic church.

On the 2nd Saturday of Advent, the Christmas magic takes place in Homberg Castle.

Buildings

The Homberg town hall was built in 1539 on the market square. The half-timbered house also served as a court in its history and has a wine cellar built in 1554.

The brewery initially served as a guard house in the 13th century and was part of the city wall. It was not rebuilt until 1571 and mentioned for the first time as a new brewery in 1581. Beer was brewed here under the supervision of the town's master brewers. The brewery tower is the only remaining tower in the city wall of Homberg. Today the brewery is a museum on the city's history.

The town inn , which was built in half-timbered construction before 1700, was the only place in town where wine and brandy were served, as the town had held this privilege since 1671. The leaseholder received the goods directly from the Homberg wine master.

Another historically significant building is the Homberg pharmacy from the 2nd half of the 16th century. The half-timbered building was built in the late Renaissance style. From 1715 to 1960, the Homberg pharmacy was housed here.

The town church Homberg was built around 1220 and is a flat-roofed, three-aisled Romanesque pillar basilica .

The cemetery chapel was built in 1579 in a late Gothic half-timbered construction. The glass painters Alexander Linnemann and Otto Linnemann created glass windows for both the Catholic and Protestant churches .

The Homberg Castle is a medieval castle high. During the Thirty Years War , the castle was destroyed by Swedish and Lower Hesse troops and the keep was blown up. In 1648 it was partially restored and renewed in 1836. The facility has been owned by the City of Homberg since 2012.

Tree veterans and natural monuments

The Burglinden in Homberg

In the area of ​​the old Homberg Castle on the Schloßberg, known as "Schloß Homberg", there are three remarkable old linden trees. One in front of the castle at the entrance to the castle gate, in the former kennel. Another inside the complex, directly in an inner courtyard wall of the castle courtyard, near the palace. The third is in the northeast corner, outside the fortification wall on the back of the site, on the path around the castle. Since the complex was not open to the public until it was taken over by the city, the two giant trees inside the castle and on the back remained largely unknown to the public. As a result, the term “the Burglinde” is used - generally refers to the outer linden tree in front of the gate that is visible to everyone.

Linden tree in the kennel called "Burglinde"

(Natural monument) It is probably the oldest and most striking of the three linden trees. The mighty winter linden , which is included in the list of striking and old tree specimens , is believed to have been planted around 1600 and would therefore be 420 years old. Other estimates, however, even give it an age of up to 800 years. Its gnarled, partially hollow and multiply divided trunk has a circumference of 9.22 m.

Linden tree in the courtyard

(Natural monument) The second of the three Burglinden stands in the middle of a wall inside the castle complex, in the castle courtyard west of the main building. This winter linden is also estimated to be 400–800 years old. Its mighty main trunk has a circumference of approx. 7.5 m. After about three to three and a half meters, it divides into several main branches that rise steeply upwards, which together reach a height of about 23 m and form an ostrich-shaped crown.

Linden tree on the circular path

The third linden tree is again outside the castle on its back, directly opposite a door that leads outside through the castle wall. Only separated from the castle by the circular path that was laid out around the castle wall, the tree grows on the edge of the slope. This linden tree, also a winter linden tree, gives the impression of having originally grown from several individual trunks or saplings. It is also divided into a number of steep main branches that, like the linden tree in the castle courtyard, form a mighty ostrich-shaped crown. Its trunk, which is broken in places and partially hollow, has a circumference of 7.05 m. The age of this linden tree is estimated to be around 400 years. It was also determined to be worthy of protection, but it has apparently not yet been designated as a natural monument .

Established businesses

In 1955 a large factory was built by the screw manufacturer Kamax from Osterode am Harz in Homberg. In the Nieder-Ofleiden district, the Central German hard stone industry operates the “Hochberg” basalt quarry. The household goods manufacturer VEMMiNA is located in the Büßfeld district.

traffic

The Homberg (Ohm) junction of federal motorway 5 is about ten kilometers south of the city center. Federal highway 62 runs eight kilometers to the northeast .

The last plans are currently underway for the completion of the A 49 , which will then be connected to the federal motorway 5 near Maulbach . The expansion of this Herrenwaldtrasse is politically controversial, as there would also have been good reasons to connect the federal autobahn 49 to the A5 via Kirchhain and Marburg.

Homberg is in the area of ​​the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund . The RMV regional bus route 382 connects Homberg with the nearest train stations, Burg- and Nieder-Gemünden on the Vogelsbergbahn and Kirchhain on the Main-Weser-Bahn . The VB-71 line of the Oberhessen transport company also goes to Gemünden ; the VGO line VB-13 provides a connection to Alsfeld train station . The bus line MR-80 of the transport company ALV-Oberhessen offers a connection to Marburg . The VGO line VB-81 also runs within the city .

The Ohm Valley Railway Burg- und Nieder-Gemünden-Kirchhain, which runs through Homberg, is only in operation in the section from Nieder-Ofleiden , and there only for freight traffic ( basalt quarry "Hochberg" ).

The Hessian long-distance cycle route R6 ( Diemelstadt - Lampertheim ) also leads through Homberg.

education

Homberg has a primary school with a speech therapy class and childcare facilities. There is also an additive comprehensive school in the city with the Ohmtalschule.

There is also an AOK education center in Ober-Ofleiden .
