With just under 12,000 inhabitants, Jügesheim is the second largest district of Rodgau in the Offenbach district in southern Hesse and the seat of the city administration.

Geographical location

Jügesheim was founded as a heap village and is located in the Rhine-Main plain on the Rodau at 127 m above sea ​​level , approx. 6.5 km west of Seligenstadt .

history

Jügesheim is a Franconian foundation from Merovingian times in the forest area of ​​the Maingau . Near Roman roads that crossed here, the Franks established military colonies to control the country.

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of the place is in a document from 1261, with which the descendants of the deceased knight Merbode von Ovheim reached an agreement with the Himmelkron monastery about its inheritance.

In the Middle Ages , the surrounding forests belonged to the Dreieich Wildbann . In Jügesheim there was one of its 30 Wildhuben . Around 1350 the tithe in the village belonged to the Lords of Hanau , who passed it on as a fief . Jügesheim continued to belong to Rödermark and to the Steinheim office , which initially belonged to the Lords of Eppstein and, from 1371, as pledge, half each to the Counts of Katzenelnbogen and the Lords of Hanau . In 1393 the pledge came to the Lords of Kronberg . In 1425 Gottfried von Eppstein sold it to the Electorate of Mainz .

Originally, the patronage for the Church of St. Nikolai lay with the Lords of Hagen-Münzenberg . In 1477, Archbishop Diether von Mainz incorporated the Jügesheim church into the Church of St. Peter in Weiskirchen . Since then it has been a branch of this church.

Modern times

During the Thirty Years' War the place was severely damaged and it took a long time to recover from this catastrophe. In the years 1631–1634, during the Thirty Years' War, King Gustav II. Adolf confiscated the office of Steinheim as spoils of war and endowed the later Hanau Counts Heinrich Ludwig von Hanau-Münzenberg (1609–1632) and Jakob Johann von Hanau-Münzenberg (1612– 1636) who were allied with him. Since both counts died soon and the Peace of Westphalia changed to the normal year 1624, Jügesheim came back to Kurmainz, where it remained until 1803 when it fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the course of secularization . There it belonged to the following administrative units:

On January 1, 1977, Jügesheim was part of the regional reform in Hesse with the neighboring communities of Dudenhofen , Hainhausen , Nieder-Roden and Weiskirchen in the newly created large community of Rodgau, which became a town in 1979. For each of the five city districts, a local district was set up with a local advisory council and a local councilor .
