The Hottenbacher Hof is a historic farm near the village of Klein-Bieberau in the Odenwald, approx. 16 km southeast of Darmstadt . The hamlet is now part of the district of Lichtenberg the community Fischbachtal in southern Hesse Darmstadt-Dieburg .

history

The Hottenbach farm was first mentioned in 1379. In the files (of the imperial commission at the Middle Rhine Imperial Knighthood) in the matter of Georg Friedrich von Rodenstein against his guardian and "brother-in-law" Johann Joachim Gambs von Gottau, son-in-law of the deceased Friedrich Neidhart von Rodenstein 1663/67, 1683/84 (re. Publication Rodenstein documents, damage to the Rodenstein family estates etc.) there is a document dated 1379: "Heinrich von Hirschberg sells his share in the village of Hottenbach in the parish of Groß-Bieberau to Adelheid, Helfrich Jews widow and her sons Wilhelm and Helfrich."

In 1408 and 1425 a Cleschin (Klaus) von Hottenbach is named in the land tax register of the Upper County of Katzenelnbogen . In 1421/22 the farm is mentioned under the name "Hattenbach" in the income of Countess Anna von Katzenelnbogen .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on the Hottenbacher Hof in 1829:

»Hottenbach (L. Bez. Reinheim) Hof; lies in the Rodau district and used to belong to Herr von Rodenstein. "

The name and possible meaning

In 1691 the current name of the court was established. Before that he vacillates between Hattenbach, Hottenbach and Huttenbach. It belongs to a group of identical or similar place names in the German-speaking area, which are interpreted as a settlement on a stream in the wetland or marsh area.

Edge and border location

Since the last territorial reform in 1971, Hottenbach has belonged politically to the Fischbachtal municipality , postally with Klein-Bieberau to Modautal and ecclesiastically with Rodau to Groß-Bieberau .

Over the centuries, this overlapping of competencies was the fate of the remote small settlement in the border area between the rule of Rodenstein and the upper county of Katzenelnbogen or, since 1479, of the Hessian district of Oberramstadt .

Since Hottenbach with Neunkirchen, Lützelbach, Brandau and Steinau belonged to the Rodenstein office or lower court of Neunkirchen, but at the same time to the district of Oberramstadt (became a town in 1310 with the support of Count Eberhard I. von Katzenelnbogen ), there were often conflicts that also occurred before Reich Chamber Court in Speyer .

Already in an arbitration contract of September 30, 1493 between Landgrave Wilhelm III. from Hessen on the one hand and the late Erkinger and his cousin Hans von Rodenstein on the other hand, the Hottenbacher Hof is mentioned twice as a border point. The importance of this arbitration agreement between the Rodensteiners and the Hessians is underlined on the one hand by the fact that it came about only through the arbitration of Elector Philipp von der Pfalz ("the sincere"). On the other hand, it also underlines the fact that the contract is copied several times and in the 18th century was the basis for a map in which the hunting boundaries were drawn and z. The meaning of the document is sometimes marked in color.

Hottenbach also remains an important border point in the further history. In the Hottenbach z. B. in border descriptions from 1717 and 1723. On September 6, 1759, 20 lordly officials, judges and field jury members (including a princely Hessian bailiff from Lichtenberg , princely chief forester from Ernsthofen, clerks and judges from Neunkirchen) passed the external borders of Hottenbach, to check and re-establish the 65 stones that mark the boundary of the princely domain.

The Hottenbacher Hof is only 1.2 km from the center of the village of Klein-Bieberau and is in the same valley as the village. The road to Klein-Bieberau / Webern is now a dead end, which makes it clear how obvious it would be to assign the farm to Klein-Bieberau. But while Klein-Bieberau has been part of the Nieder-Modau church game since the 14th century , Hottenbach has been part of the Groß-Bieberau church game . Nothing changes when the church play in Niedernhausen, which is much closer, is founded on January 1st, 1877.

today

The farm is still managed today (with one interruption during the Thirty Years' War).
