Igelsbach is a place shared between the Hessian town of Hirschhorn and the Baden town of Eberbach on both sides of the state border of Hesse ( Bergstrasse district ) and Baden-Württemberg ( Rhein-Neckar district ) and is therefore one of the territorial features in southwest Germany . The Hessian part is in the Hirschhorn district . The settlement has only been part of Hirschhorn since 1978.

Geographical location

Igelsbach is located in the southern Odenwald around the source of the stream of the same name and on a mountain saddle a good 100 meters above the northern right steep slope of the Neckar valley in a cleared island of the southern foothills of the Hirschhorner Höhe . From the mountain saddle located in the Hessian part, the village extends east on both valley slopes of the Igelsbach over the state border, which is marked with a place name sign . The Igelsbach rises close to the state border on the Baden side and leads in a right curve to the southeast down to Gretengrund on the Neckar.

history

overview

The oldest surviving mention of the hamlet Igelsbach comes from 1370 . An earlier settlement can be assumed.

As early as the 14th century, the place was divided between the Lords of Hirschhorn and the Electoral Palatinate , with the latter part belonging to the Office of Mosbach . 1632 Kurmainz followed the extinct Lords of Hirschhorn in possession. The Mainz part went to Hessen-Darmstadt as part of the Hirschhorn office in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , which was added to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806 . The Palatinate part went to the Principality of Leiningen and in 1806 to the Grand Duchy of Baden . In 1925 Badisch-Igelsbach was incorporated into Eberbach.

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

»Igelsbach (L. Bez. Hirschhorn) cath. Filialdorf, located 1 hour from Hirschhorn and 1 ⁄ 4 hour directly from the Neckar, and stretches up to the heights in a dispersed location. It consists of 6 houses and has 55 Cath. Pop. - In the Heppenheimer Markbeschreibung 773 an Igiles book appears immediately after Gammelsbach, which is without doubt the current one. According to a document from 1390, the place belonged to Hirschhorn Castle. Igelsbach came to Hessen in 1802. «

In the statistics of the Grand Duchy of Hesse , the place is listed in 1863 as the farms of Hirschhorn with 7 houses and 49 inhabitants.

The unification of Igelsbach through a re-demarcation was attempted several times, for example in 1909 by the Eberbach district office. In February 1931 some of the residents of Hessisch-Igelsbach apparently supported the incorporation into Eberbach. In May 1935 Eberbach again suggested a change in the state border by incorporating Hessisch-Igelsbach. However, because of the associated change in the state border, the efforts met not only with resistance from the city of Hirschhorn, but also with concerns from the higher-level state authorities, who wanted a general adjustment of the border between Baden and Hesse in the so-called Hirschhorn Zipfel . On September 27, 1978, the Hessian district, which had previously been a residential area, became a district of Hirschhorn.

In 1975 114 of the 170 Igelsbachers lived in the Hessian and 56 in the Baden part of the town. In 2013 the population was 331, 107 of them in the Baden part. The 2011 census counted 216 inhabitants in the Hessian part.

Territorial history and administration (Hessen)

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which the Hessian part of Igelsbach was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Transport and infrastructure

Igelsbach is connected to Bundesstraße 37 / Bundesstraße 45 , which runs through the Neckar Valley, via the Eberbacher area with the 2-kilometer-long K 4115 district road , which is extended at the Hessian border by the K 204 and again leads in an arc to the Baden border, where it ends as a local road. Hiking trails lead to the Bergstrasse-Odenwald and Neckartal-Odenwald nature parks .

In the Röderwiesen at the Igelsbach spring, a swimming pool measuring 12.5 mx 20 m was built on the Hessian side .

useful information

The place-name sign is currently not exactly on the Baden-Hessian border. This runs about 20 meters east; the supposedly first house on the Baden side still belongs to Hesse. On the local road further up, the last four houses belong to Baden again without a place-name sign indicating this.
