Geographical location

history

Jugenheim was first mentioned in a document in 1241. Settlement took place much earlier, as archaeological finds show. Jugenheim is also mentioned under the place names Guginheim (1310), Gugenheim (1335), Guginheym (1340), Gugenhem (1430), Jugenheim and Gugenheim (1561), and Jugenheimb (1621).

Among other things, Jugenheim found the following mentions:

The adjoining monastery was built on the Heiligenberg in the High Middle Ages . It existed until the Reformation in Erbach around 1544; the mountain church was first mentioned in a document in 1263. In 1618 there were over 30 mills in Jugenheim, and in 1829 there were still 14.

In 1714, the county of Erbach , which ruled over the Odenwald area for 500 years, was forced to sell Jugenheim to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt as an accessory to the Seeheim-Tannenberg office due to financial difficulties . It then remained in Hesse and its predecessor states to this day.

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

»Jugenheim (L. Bez. Lindenfels) Lutheran parish village; lies 2 St von Bensheim, and has 90 houses and 583 inhabitants, who are Lutheran except for 1 Reform, 1 Kath and 14 Jews. There are 14 grinding mills, with which 6 oil and 2 cutting mills are connected, such as the ruins of Daxberg Castle and the remains of a monastery on the Kloster- or Heiligenberg, consisting of a gable wall and other masonry, plus four found in the ruins and corpse stones provided with inscriptions. On one of them the outline of a nun is carved and inscribed with the following inscription “MCCCCLXXX obiit in Dno in the exaltationis stae crucis Elisabetha Pfottin de Kirchbrombach, conthoralis Martini de Oberkeim cujus anima requiescat in pace”. - This mountain, on the top of which stands a friendly country house. from which a beautiful view is presented, is excellently laid out for agricultural use, has over 2000 strains of the finest types of fruit and a vineyard in which Riesling and Burgundy vines are grown. - Jugenheim, first a part of the Tannenberg Castle, was added to the Daxberg Castle after the Daxberg Castle was built and later with its part came to the Erbach taverns. The monastery is said to have taken the name of Stettbach after the village or farm Niederstettbach at the foot of the mountain. As a result of a stone, now walled in in the village church and probably originating from the destroyed monastery church, a Conrad, Herr von Tannenberg, founded the church in 1263. In Lorsch documents this monastery appears by name in the years 1304–1353 and is called there monasterium in monte Felicitatis . It was closely related to the Lorsch monastery; because when this was occupied with Premonstratensians, that also confessed to this order. The monastery still existed in 1478 and 1480. Later news is missing, just as the story of his demise is unknown. The main court was formerly held on the Heiligenberg , and it also bears the name Landberg in old Weisthumers. In 1622 soldiers plundered the village of Jugenheim and wreaked havoc. Clingen, also called Diethersklingen, used to be in the district. In 1714 Jugenheim was bought by the Counts of Erbach in Hessen. "

In the first half of the 20th century, from 1897 to 1955, a steam locomotive-operated branch line ran between Bickenbach, Alsbach, Jugenheim and Seeheim. Planning for the connection had already started in 1869, but there was a lot of resistance to the construction. They feared noise, disruption to field work and the emigration of holiday guests. At that time, the Bergstraßen was a popular recreational area for guests from all over Europe, especially from the royal houses. The branch line connected the northern Bergstrasse with the important Main-Neckar Railway at Bickenbach station . In addition to the holiday guests, the local population also used the “Ziggelsche” branch line. As some trains went as far as Darmstadt and were used by travelers to visit the Darmstadt State Theater, they were nicknamed "Theater Train".
