Katzenbach is a district of the city of Biedenkopf in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district in central Hesse . The place has about 30 inhabitants and bears the same name as the brook that rises about 300 meters above the place and flows into the Lahn in Buchenau .

history

The name Katzenbach was first mentioned in documents in 1456 in connection with a landgrave's court. At that time the place belonged to the court Dautphe . In 1660, Landgrave Ludwig VI. (Hessen-Darmstadt) build a simple hunting lodge and finally expand it into the Katzenbach hunting lodge . Together with some of the associated buildings (armory, riding stables, barn, kitchen, wash house, coach house, woodshed and oven) it was called a castle .
114 years later, in 1774, the hunting lodge of Landgrave Ludwig IX. (Hessen-Darmstadt) sold for demolition. This means that the houses were dismantled and rebuilt by the new owners, for example in Biedenkopf in Hainstraße or in Friedensdorf an der Neumühle.

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on December 31, 1971, the previously independent municipality of Katzenbach was incorporated into the municipality of Buchenau (Lahn). On July 1, 1974, the municipality of Buchenau (Lahn) was dissolved by state law. Almost the entire community, with more than 1500 inhabitants at that time, came to the newly created community of Dautphetal . The district of Katzenbach with around 25 inhabitants at that time was assigned to the city of Biedenkopf.
