The Kaiserkreuz Kleinenglis (summer 2013)

Kleinenglis is today's district of Borken in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district . The district of Kleinenglis is largely located on the so-called Großenengliser Platte and has a size of 601 hectares . Around 1450 people live in the village today.

history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 775 as a fishing gise in a document from the Hersfeld Abbey . It was not until the 13th century that a distinction began to be made in place names between Kleinenglis and the neighboring Großenenglis. B. in 1239 when Count Heinrich III, who entered the monastery of Haina as a monk in 1231 . von Reichenbach bequeathed half the tithe of Engelgis mino to the monastery.

With the Kaiserkreuz there is a national historical monument in Kleinenglis. Here on June 5, 1400, Duke Friedrich I of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, who had previously been proposed in Frankfurt by some electors as a candidate for the king's election against the unloved Wenceslaus , was met by Count Heinrich VII von Waldeck and his cronies Friedrich III. von Hertingshausen and Konrad (Kunzmann) von Falkenberg murdered.

A second local event of historical importance was the crushing defeat of the troops of Archbishop Konrad III of Mainz . von Dhaun in the Mainz-Hessian War on July 23, 1427 against that of the Hessian Landgrave Ludwig I , with whom Kurmainz finally lost the fight for territorial supremacy in North Hesse. This decisive battle in a centuries-long struggle took place north of Kleinenglis, between Kalbsburg and the now desolate village of Holzheim near Fritzlar. Mainz then had to take almost all of its possessions in Lower and Central Hesse from Hesse as a fief.

The Thirty Years' War also had devastating consequences in Kleinenglis. 1585 were still 55 Hausgesesse (households) counted in the place, so in 1639 after the passage of imperial troops lived only 18 married men and 9 widows in the village. After the annexation of Electoral Hesse by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 and the change in 1872 of the Prussian meanness division order of 1821 was also Kleinenglis a merger carried out by agricultural land that is not community property were.

The construction of the Borken power station in 1922/23 and the associated rapid expansion of lignite mining in the Borken lignite area created many new jobs and the population of the surrounding villages rose sharply. In Kleinenglis it grew by 60% from 514 people in 1925 to 820 in 1939. A second increase in the population of the place took place with the influx of bombed-out and displaced persons as a consequence of the Second World War . It was not until the 1950s that the number of inhabitants gradually declined again due to emigration to the surrounding cities. After mining in the Borken region came to an end after the Stolzenbach mine accident on June 1, 1988, in which 51 miners were killed, and the power plant also ceased operations in 1991, Kleinenglis became a sleeping community for out-commuters.

Territorial reform

In the course of administrative reform in Hesse is 0m 31 December 1971, the neighboring community joined Kerstenhausen the community Kleinenglis, but already on 1 January 1974 the hitherto independent municipality in the city of Borken was powerful state law incorporated . The area of ​​Kleinenglis was 601 hectares . In 1996, around 11 hectares in the area of ​​the former power station were cut off in favor of the core town of Borken, so that the area has since been around 590 hectares.

church

Evangelical Church in Kleinenglis

The Protestant church in Hundsburgstrasse, once consecrated to Archangel Michael , is a medieval fortified church and a cultural monument. The Gothic choir tower dates from the 14th century, the slated bell-house and the helmet are from 1752. Around 1500 the late Gothic, three- bay nave with cross vaults was added. The entire interior of the church was soon painted with scenes from the Bible and legends of saints. The wall paintings were probably painted over after the Reformation ; those in the choir were uncovered in 1925, those in the ship in 1963. The figure of the Archangel Michael dominates the choir. The church interior with the altar, sacrament house , staircase to the defense tower, etc. is still in its original late medieval condition. The organ was built from 1832–1834 by the organ builder Adam Joseph Oestreich (1799–1843) from Oberbimbach near Fulda and was first located in the Katharinenkirche in the Ursuline convent Fritzlar . After the monastery was closed due to the Kulturkampf in 1877, it was sold to Großenenglis , where it remained until 1973, and then spent 22 years in storage with the organ builder Bruno Döring in Neukirchen (Knüll) . It has been in Kleinenglis since 1995.
