history

The place was, together with the neighboring Deisfeld and Hemmighausen , an exclave of the Itter rule in the area of ​​the county or the principality of Waldeck . After the Lords of Itter died out , the place with half of the Itter lordship came into the possession of the Landgraviate of Hesse , after the Thirty Years War to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt and in 1866 as part of the Vöhl district to Prussia . When Waldeck came under Prussian administration in 1929, the property ended as an exclave. Eimelrod was incorporated into the Eisenberg district together with Deisfeld and Hemmighausen ; this was united in 1942 with two other former Waldeck districts to form the Waldeck district .

Territorial reform

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Eimelrod was merged with four other places on December 31, 1971 to form the new municipality of Upland . This was again powerful state law on 1 January 1974 with the municipality of Willingen for greater community Willingen (Upland) together . Local districts were formed for all former municipalities . Willingen became the seat of the municipal administration.

Heinrich gallery

In 1914, Heinrich Lenz from Dortmund received the mining rights for manganese and iron ore in the "Bergfeld Heinrich" in Mühlenberg near Eimelrod. A 140-meter-long tunnel, the so-called "Heinrich tunnel", with four side arms was created, which was closed again in 1915 due to the low ore yield. In 1991 the tunnel was reopened and its entrance made accessible for the Eimelrod educational forest trail.

religion

Romanesque church

Old bell from Eimelrod

Already in the 12th century there was a Romanesque predecessor church in its place - the current one is mentioned for the first time in 1310. The nave was built from scratch in 1827. The medieval tower had to be demolished in 1909 because it was dilapidated; the new tower was built in its present form in 1928. A tympanum relief from the previous church is in the new tower. Of the pulpit altar created by Josias Wolrat Brützel in 1697, only the pulpit is in the church today; the two side wings are in the Korbach Local History Museum .

Jewish community

There was a small Jewish community in Eimelrod from the 18th century to 1938; In the principality of Waldeck surrounding the village, Jews were not allowed from sunset to sunrise. In 1830 there were 34 Jewish inhabitants in the village, in 1871 there were only 10 (of a total of 307 inhabitants), and in 1895 and 1905 15 each (of 401 and 417 respectively). In 1924 there were 20 (out of a total of 486 inhabitants), and in 1933 there were still 14 Jewish people living in Eimelrod (out of a total of 484 inhabitants). After that some of them moved away or emigrated. In 1939 there were only two Jewish residents left in the village who were deported in 1941 via the "assembly camp" in Wrexen .

The community facilities included a synagogue , a religious school, a ritual bath and a cemetery with an area of 11.38 ares . The small synagogue was built around 1780. It had 24 places for men and 16 for women. It had no electric light and it was lit by stable lanterns. Even after the number of Jewish residents decreased rapidly after 1933, services were occasionally held in the synagogue until 1938. The building was completely destroyed in the November pogrom in 1938 ; the fire ruin was demolished in 1939.
