 Location of Kransberg in Usingen
|
|
Kransberg is a district of Usingen in the Hochtaunuskreis in southern Hesse .
geography
location
Kransberg is located in the eastern Hintertaunus at 250-320 m above sea level, the surrounding mountain ranges reach up to 386 m above sea level. In addition to the town center, the village area includes extensive forest areas and a small proportion of agricultural land. The north-south extension is about 3 km, the east-west extension about 5 km.
In the north the federal highway 275 borders, in the east Friedrichsthal , in the south Pfaffenwiesbach and in the west beyond the forest the core town Usingen borders .
The village image is determined by Kransberg Castle , which lies on a rocky nose above the old town center and dominates the narrow valley. Below the castle, the core village extends along the Wiesbach in the valley floor and on the steep slopes. From the valley a winding road leads to the Kurberg to a new building area.
Geology and climate
The area of Kransberg is divided by ridges and peaks and is traversed by the Wiesbach and Holzbach and - on the northern edge of the village - by the USA .
The subsoil consists of heavily folded, predominantly Devonian clay slate , occasionally also of diabase - scarf stone and mass limestone . Although the highest peaks of this rather soft rock have been leveled a little over time, the landscape features steep mountain slopes and craggy rocks like the Hohe Taunus . The densely packed Devonian clay slate with its small pore and gap volume is only able to store groundwater to a small extent.
In terms of natural landscape, it is a Luzula - beech forest area , in which the oak still occupies a high proportion due to the medieval Hutewald use. Since the 17th century the spruce found its way and gained in popularity; Today it is the tree species used almost exclusively for afforestation of fallow land .
The weather in Kransberg is usually a little better than the Hessian average. With westerly and northwest winds , the Taunus is in the lee of the Hunsrück , Eifel and Westerwald , so that the air masses have already rained off a large part of their moisture before they reach Kransberg. The average annual rainfall in Kransberg is about 650 mm while the average for Hesse is 854 mm.
history
The area around Kransberg is ancient settlement land. At the western edge of the village between Usa and Eschbach, an earthwork from the time of the band ceramics , about 5,000 years BC, was found during archaeological excavations BC, exposed. After Neolithic , Bronze Age and Celtic settlement epochs, of which barrows and the hill fort Holzburg am Holzberg are still preserved today, the period of Roman conquest followed. Kransberg is 3 km northeast of the Limes . The first fortification on a rock hill dates back to the 11th century.
middle Ages
In 1220 Erwinus de Cranichesberc was entrusted with half of the villages Wiesbach, Wernborn and Ober- and Niederholzberg by Emperor Friedrich II . To secure his property, he began building a castle in Kransberg. Erwinus had a crane in his coat of arms , which gave the name to the family and dominion of Cransberg. His son Eberwinus is called "dictus da Cranchesberg". A third Erwinus von Cranich held the mayor's office in Frankfurt from 1281 to 1289 . The son of the mayor, Erwinus IV., Asked the later Emperor Heinrich VII. Permission to sell the imperial fief of Cransberg to Philipp IV. Von Falkenstein , which was granted on March 27th. The Lords of Cransberg died out in 1326.
The Falkensteiners relocated the nearby villages of Ober- and Niederholzberg to the area below the castle and waived part of the taxes for the resettlers. This is how the place Cransberg came into being. Up until that time there were only a few huts at the foot of the castle, in which, according to tradition, fishermen lived who earned their livelihood from the nearby lake - today's place name "Am See". However, the Falkensteiners could only enjoy their property for 100 years. With Werner von Falkenstein , Elector and Archbishop of Trier , the house died out in 1418.
In the years after 1535 the Protestant creed was introduced in the villages of Cransberg, Pfaffenwiesbach and Wernborn. With the takeover of the area by Kurmainz in 1581, the Counter Reformation set in and the villages became Catholic again . The first Catholic service was held in Kransberg on Passion Sunday, March 12th, 1606, by the pastor Friedrich von Oppershofen.
From 1654 the Waldbott von Bassenheim family ruled over the town of Cransberg and the office of Cransberg for the next 200 years . The best known of this family was Casimir Waldbott von Bassenheim. He has achieved great services through church and school foundations. He set up wool weaving mills in Cransberg. He had children of poor parents learn a trade at his own expense .
19th century until today
In 1806 the Bassenheim countries and with them the village of Cransberg were annexed by the princes of Nassau . "On September 13th, 1814 at around 1½ o'clock, spontaneous combustion of the grummet broke out in the mayor's scrub". That was the first report by the accessist Kreiß from Usingen. A few days later, children playing with fire unattended are blamed. But since the names of the children and their parents were never mentioned, it seems reasonable to doubt that they were the guilty party. The fire raged until 8 o'clock in the evening. It devoured 18 houses, 33 barns and 58 stables, most of which were insured. The parsonage with the furniture of the pastor who had just moved in there as well as the church registers from Cransberg and Wernborn, and also a valuable monstrance, were also destroyed by flames. The rectory was owned by the Nassau Domain Administration. She hadn't insured the house against fire damage and it took 35 years before a new house was built. During this time the pastors were forced to live in the castle due to the lack of other accommodation. Four fifths of the already impoverished village with 140 buildings was down. The Cransbergers spent the winter with their neighbors in Pfaffenwiesbach and Wernborn and began rebuilding in the spring of 1815. Some Cransbergers, who had their fields in the Holzbachtal, built their new farms above the place where the villages of Ober- and Niederholzburg had stood 400 years earlier. So it came about that some descendants of the Holzburger settled again near the place that their ancestors had to leave. The new place was called Friedrichsthal and belonged to the rebuilt Cransberg.
After the lost war against Prussia in 1866, Nassau became Prussian and the community of Cransberg-Friedrichthal became part of the “Obertaunus” district. In 1886 the community left the Obertaunuskreis and was assigned to the newly formed Usingen district. In January 1937 the spelling of the village name was changed from Cransberg to Kransberg. The President of the Province of Hessen-Nassau issued this order.
From 1939 on, extensive construction work was carried out in Kransberg and especially in the castle. Adolf Hitler , who was planning a war of aggression against France in autumn 1939 , had his imperial master builders Albert Speer and Fritz Todt integrated Kransberg Castle into the Adlerhorst / Ziegenberg military complex . A number of bunkers were built in the village and under the castle . In the winter of 1944/45, concentration camp prisoners from the Buchenwald concentration camp were also used for the renovation work. They were housed in the "Tannenwald" camp as a Buchenwald external command under inhumane conditions.
After the war, the Kransbergers built a village community center in 1952 as one of the first communities in Hesse . As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Kransberg was incorporated into the city of Usingen on December 31, 1971, while the district of Friedrichsthal was reclassified to Wehrheim .
In 2006 the village became known throughout Hesse when it took part in the "Dolles Dorf" competition on Hessian television and won the final. In 2011, the village, like the castle, served as the backdrop for the Tatort episode Das Dorf .
Mills
On the USA, which runs parallel to the B 275 (route: Bad Schwalbach - Lauterbach) between Usingen and the Kransberg junction , there were various mills in the 20th century (Schlappmühle, Hessenmühle, Schlossermühle, Kleinmühle, Herrnmühle, Kreuzmühle).
The Herrnmühle already had a summer restaurant at the beginning of the 20th century and is now just a restaurant. In earlier centuries it was a legacy mill of the Counts of Waldbott-Bassenheim. The first written mention dates from November 11, 1682 in an inventory letter about the mill to Müller Johann Henrich Niedernhoefern. This was followed by changing tenants with inventory letters from the Counts of Bassenheim up to the sale of the entire Cransberg estate including the mill in 1853 for the price of 65,000 guilders to the Nassau domain administration. The first private owner through purchase was the miller Johannes Heid with his wife Eva, nee. Lotz. Like all previous millers, they operated a grinding mill, which got the necessary water through the Wiesbach and a mill ditch that branched off from the United States. One of the subsequent millers was Johann Peter Wörner.
In 1903 he recommended himself as a rye miller in an advertisement in the Kreis-Blatt Usingen. At the same time he ran a summer restaurant "Zum Kühlengrund". On May 14, 1926, part of the mill burned down under the miller Otto Jung. He built a new house and finally stopped grinding. He also ran a restaurant for a few years until he and his wife were sentenced to prison for insurance fraud. The property was divided up and the mill has had several owners to this day. They all ran a restaurant there (with dance events) and an excursion restaurant. They kept adding new parts to the old house. In the 1960s (during his various spa stays in Bad Nauheim) King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia and his entourage stopped by on various occasions and left a lasting impression with one hundred mark notes as a tip for the waitress. Resettlers from the former Soviet Union were also housed there for some time. The Herrnmühle has been a restaurant since 1983.

Culture and sights
Kransberg Castle
The castle, which was rebuilt like a castle in the 19th century and was first mentioned in a document in 1250, stands on a steep rocky ridge. The lord of the castle was then Erwinus de Cranichesberc. The neck ditch that separated the complex from the mountain is now filled. Essentially only parts of the curtain wall and the keep remained from the original complex . The actual castle consisted only of a keep and an elongated building (palas) without any further extensions.
The Elector of Mainz, who had meanwhile become possessions, sold the entire Cransberg estate to the Waldbott von Bassenheim family in 1654 . From the end of the 18th century, the castle deteriorated from lack of money until the von Bassenheim family sold it to the Duchy of Nassau in 1853 . From 1866 it came into Prussian possession. In July 1874 the royal government had the castle and all of its lands auctioned off to the public. Baron Arnold von Biegeleben from Darmstadt acquired the property, carried out extensive renovations and expanded the castle into a palace in the neo-Gothic style that was popular at the time .
Castle chapel
The St. Nikolaus Palace Chapel is located below the palace. It is a listed building and was transferred to the Kransberg parish in 1956 with the consent of the episcopal ordinariate by the heirs of Major General Ludwig Freiherr von Biegeleben. It was built on the site of the former parish church that had been abandoned in 1893. The foundation stone was laid on November 2, 1893. It was benedicated on June 10, 1895 by the then local pastor Rudolph Schetters. Baroness Agnes von Biegeleben had the old church closed and this chapel built as a crypt chapel for her family. Four members of this family were buried over the following years. In addition, the bones of Count Johann Maria Rudolph von Bassenheim and what was still found when his coffin was opened in 1893, as well as the skulls of two women of the former bailiff Haas, who both died in childbed, have been resting there since 1984 should.
The common grave slab of the two women is on the castle wall opposite the portal. In 1983–1985 the roof and the outer walls were thoroughly renovated and in 1994 the interior was restored. This chapel is not the reconstruction of the old parish church, as was assumed in earlier times, but a new building from the years 1893–1895.
Parish Church of St. John the Baptist
The neo-Gothic Kransberg Catholic parish church of St. John the Baptist was completed in 1875. It is a gift from an economically successful Kransberger. Mr. Johannes Discher, citizen and master bricklayer in Frankfurt a / M. In 1862 he made a will in which he named the Catholic Church of his birthplace Kransberg (Cransberg) the universal heir of his property. From this legacy, 20,000 guilders were to be used to build a new Catholic church in Kransberg.
The carved pulpit dates from 1609 and, like the communion benches, was previously in Limburg an der Lahn Cathedral . The high altar was also from Limburg Cathedral and was in the church until 1933. Since the structure had become worm-eaten, it had to be removed. Today's high altar structure with its tabernacle and two wall reliefs is the work of the sculptor Belz from Schwanheim. The marble base, i.e. the actual altar stone, remained in the church and was consecrated together with the new structure on June 21, 1933 by the then Bishop Antonius Hilfrich of Limburg. There are relics of the saints Viktorianus and Fausta included in the altar stone and issued a certificate on handmade paper on the act of consecration.
The historic organ dates from 1876 and was built by the organ building company Gebrüder Keller in Limburg an der Lahn . She is probably older and previously worked in another church. It has a very rare wind chest system , namely a hanging valve chest and an early pneumatic stop action . The organ has two manuals and 16 stops . The organ has 981 pipes of which 284 are made of wood and the rest of zinc. In 1932 the organ had become unusable and was completely renovated with a new wind machine (before the wind was created by Kalkanten ). In 1976 the organ was shut down and replaced by an electronic organ. In 1995 the instrument was renovated by the Gebrüder Oberlinger from Windesheim and has been used again since then, with the majority of the costs being borne by the community. The Marien Altar is a gift from the von Biegeleben family and the Joseph Altar is a gift from the Kransberg-born cathedral capitular Karl Walter.
Lady Chapel
On the northern edge of the village, on the Holzberg above the United States, stands the Marienkapelle. A chapel at this point is first mentioned in a document in 1218. The area is surrounded by ramparts. It is believed that the original building was erected in this early historical ring wall at the beginning of the Christianization of the Wetterau . In an artful frame, a reredos, the chapel houses a painting (17th / 18th century?) Mary with a child and the head of a child, which is interpreted as John the son of Elizabeth ( John the Baptist ). The picture bears the inscription "O Mary without original sin, please receive for us". The chapel was renovated in 1979 and brought into its current condition. The entrance was moved to the east and the miraculous image was integrated into the tower area. A wrought iron grille under the pointed arch between the tower and the nave now closes the new chancel, but allows a good view of the picture at all times. The church is still used today as a place of pilgrimage .
Kreuzkapelle
The Kreuzkapelle is located in the forest above Kransberg Castle. It was built around 1700. There are three different publications about the year of construction. In his chronicle of Cransberg and Pfaffenwiesbach, teacher Karl Walter mentions the year 1695. In the Usinger Anzeiger of August 4, 1960, the year 1697 is mentioned. During the renovation, a cross beam was found in which the year 1697 was hammered by a blacksmith. In the church chronicle of Kransberg, a copper plate with the year 1699 is mentioned on page 389. Count Casimir, Ferdinand, Adolph von Bassenheim had this chapel built as a private chapel. At this point there used to be a cross that is mentioned when inspecting the "Mörler Mark". The Catholic parish of Kransberg has repeatedly paid for repairs over the centuries, although it has never been the owner. All applications to the various governments, such as the Nassau domain administration, to which the von Bassenheim family sold their goods in Kransberg, or the Prussian state government to transfer this chapel to the Kransberg parish, were refused. Even today it is not owned by the church of Kransberg. Every year before Ascension Day, a procession is held to this chapel. In 2010 the roof and facade were renovated.
Hornbeam avenue
The hornbeam avenue with over 100 hornbeams , which are up to 250 years old, leads from Kransberg Castle to the Kreuzkapelle in a straight, steep line . Because of its uniqueness in western Germany, it is a particularly significant landscape element in terms of cultural history.
Culinary specialties
A typical Kransberg specialty is the “nameless bratwurst ”, which is actually made in the style of a Thuringian grilled sausage , but has not been allowed to be called that since the beginning of 2004. At that time, the EU Regulation No. 2081/92 was extended to include the Thuringian Rostbratwurst as a protected geographical indication (PGI). This means that at least one of the three production stages (production, processing or manufacture) must take place in the designated area. Since Kransberg is in Hesse and not in Thuringia, this was the hour of birth of the "Nameless Bratwurst".
Another local specialty is the “Kransberger Wuzz”. This is a young pig that is gutted but cooked as a whole. It is cooked for hours on a specially constructed grill over beech wood until the meat is so tender that it almost falls off the bone.
Theater and music
Kransberg has had a theater company for many years. The performances take place at the end of the year in the village community center with great participation by the population and with numerous foreign guests.
Kransberg is the home of the cover band "Zuckerwasser", which has become known with a wide range of music from rock to pop and country to oldies.
Letterpress and art
From 1972 to 1983 the "Petri Presse Kransberg" was located in Kransberg, founded by the printer and book friend Fritz Barkowsky and the poet Dieter Hoffmann. Bibliophile books with art prints and poetry were produced here.
societies
- The volunteer fire brigade Kransberg (1931) is part of the volunteer fire brigade of the city of Usingen.
- The singers' association 1868 Kransberg eV was a mixed choir . The extensive choir literature ranges from the 15th to the 20th century, from folk songs from Germany and other countries to musicals , operas , classical music and gospel to church music . On September 1, 2010, the singers' association dissolved on September 1, 2011. As stipulated in the statutes, half of the remaining assets were donated to the city of Usingen for Kransberg children and half to the German Cancer Aid.
- The Cransberger Oldtimer Club has existed since 2003. The club organizes its own picnic trips for families with oldtimers. Such an excursion takes place once a month in the summer months.
- The Kransberg trailer club is about people who have a special relationship with vehicle trailers. They dedicate themselves to studying the history of technology of attached transport vehicles as well as maintaining the exchange of information during social gatherings. In addition, the trailer club actively supports the village in the implementation of charitable building measures.
- The Verkehrsverein Kransberg eV was founded in 1973. The chairman is Willy Hofmann. The main purpose of the association is the development and promotion of tourism, in particular the beautification of the cityscape by creating and maintaining facilities that serve recreation. Unfortunately, these statutes have only been on paper for years. There was no activity. Things that were done under this club name have nothing to do with the main purpose. The club's chairman Willy Hofmann has passed away.
- The Catholic women's group St. John the Baptist was founded on March 19, 1980. She is a member of the Catholic Women's Community in Germany (kfd). Participation in the diocesan women's days in Limburg, meetings in the parish association of the kfd in Usingen, holding devotions at the Marienkapelle, these are some of the events in which women from the group take part. The members meet once a month in the "Alte Pfarrscheune", the parish center at the church. The group disbanded on January 1, 2017 for reasons of age and withdrew from membership in the kfd.
- The Kraki parents' initiative (Kransberger Kinder) was founded in 1998 and supports children and youth work in the Usingen-Kransberg district. The initiative arose from the parents of the local kindergarten when the children switched from kindergarten to school. The parents' initiative takes care of the offers for the local children and young people and supports the maintenance of the playground. It is financed through donations and events in bazaars.
- On February 8, 2008, the Kransberger Narren Club - KNC e. V., which has set itself the goal of continuing existing carnival traditions since 1932, refreshing them and enriching them with new ideas.
- The Kransberger Tanzverein (KTV), founded in November 2011, arose from the idea of being able to offer and promote the dance groups from Kransberg a safe platform for sport and fun. The 11 founding members consisted of both dancers from the group "The Crals" and parents from the children's dance group "Tanzmäuse". The cooperation of the groups enables many different suggestions to be introduced. This preserves creativity. The topics of the dance groups have deviated from each other in recent years, so a very varied program is always offered.
