history

Schönborn'scher Hof

In 893 who gives Carolingian king Arnulf the monastery of St. Maximin in Trier parts of his possessions. When four years later, in 897, his son Zwentibold confirmed this donation, Ascapahc (Eschbach) is also mentioned in a detailed list. The deed of donation is now kept in the National Museum in Paris .
The monastery of St. Maximin appointed the Lords of Molsberg as bailiffs in Eschbach. In the first half of the 12th century, they knew how to incorporate Eschbach into their manorial rule.
At the beginning of the 14th century, the lords of Molsberg made the Elkerhausen knights fiefs of Eschbach. On October 29, 1323, Giso von Molsberg sold all his people who belonged to the Eschbach manor for 24 marks, with the exception of the Kringin to Hiltwin, "pastor" of Elkerhausen. Since July 4, 1390, the Archbishop of Trier is feudal lord for the rule of Eschbach. In 1421 Hermann von Haiger, Heilwig von Schönborn and Bernhard von Mudersbach are enfeoffed with Eschbach as heirs of the Elkerhausen knights.

Laubuseschbach (Eschbach Castle) is known as the birthplace of Johann Philipp von Schönborn , one of the most important Archbishops of Mainz. At that time Laubuseschbach was still called Eschbach . When the nearby town of Laubus was completely devastated during the Thirty Years War , the survivors moved to Eschbach . Therefore, the place was renamed Laubus-Eschbach in 1824 , and later Laubuseschbach .

Territorial reform

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the former market town of Weilmünster in the Oberlahnkreis merged voluntarily on December 31, 1970 with the previously independent communities Aulenhausen, Dietenhausen, Ernsthausen, Laimbach, Langenbach, Laubuseschbach, Lützendorf, Möttau, Rohnstadt and Wolfenhausen to form the new large community of Weilmünster. Essershausen was added on December 31, 1971. For all twelve formerly independent municipalities, local districts with local advisory councils and local councilors were formed in accordance with the Hessian municipal code.

Former rail connection

In order to be able to better transport the rich raw material deposits in the remote region, the construction of a branch line from Weilburg to Weilmünster, branching off the already existing Lahn Valley Railway , began in 1889 and was officially opened on November 1, 1891 ( Weiltal Railway ). On May 15, 1892 the extension from Weilmünster to Laubuseschbach was opened. A planned continuation of the line through the Laubustal via Wolfenhausen - Münster-Weyer to the Main-Lahn-Bahn fell victim to the First World War and its effects on the mining deaths that then began. In 1909 the connection between Weilmünster and Grävenwiesbach went into operation, so that the place also had a connection to Frankfurt am Main via Weilmünster .

From the winter timetable in 1955, passenger traffic on the short Weilmünster - Laubuseschbach branch line was completely discontinued, but freight traffic was only discontinued in 1968. In the 1960s, operations on the Weilburg - Grävenwiesbach section were gradually reduced, so that in 1969 the final cessation of passenger services and goods traffic between Weilburg and Grävenwiesbach took place. The line was closed and dismantled a year later. On the remainder of the stretch between Weilmünster and Weilburg, goods traffic was still operated using the transfer procedure until the end of the 1980s, and only a few special trips were carried out in passenger traffic. There are partly bike and footpaths on the former railway lines.

Regular events

Äbbelwoifest

In the vicinity of the Alteberg , the choir and music community Frohsinn-Eintracht Laubuseschbach organized the Äbbelwoifest (apple wine festival ), which has become a tradition, on the feast of Ascension Day ( Father's Day ). The area in the forest attracts several thousand visitors from near and far every year. In 1998 the first Äppelwoifest was held. It only began as a family festival, with a carousel and families with children were the visitors. In the years that followed, the festival grew so much that it has now become an attraction for younger audiences.

Infrastructure

Since 1934, the Laubuseschbach volunteer fire brigade (from June 16, 1983 with the youth fire brigade and since August 21, 2010 with the children's fire brigade ) has provided defensive fire protection and general help in this area. The Protestant day care center "Sunshine" on the Weisburg runs three groups of children. The Evangelical Community Library in Laubuseschbach has been lending books to residents in the former town hall since 2001.

There is the village community center in Kirchgasse, the club hall of the MGV "Harmonie", the village museum in the former town hall, two sports fields and the motocross area on the Talberg, children's playgrounds, and cycling and hiking trails.
