Lißberg is a district of Ortenberg in the Hessian Wetteraukreis .

Geographical location

The small town of Lißberg is located on the eastern edge of the Wetterau in the western foothills of the Vogelsberg and north of the Büdinger Forest . The Nidder and the Hillersbach as their right northern tributary enclose the old town and the castle shortly before the two bodies of water unite. The district area is 703 hectares, of which 384 hectares are forested (status: 1961).

history

The castle Lißberg must have been built around 1200, probably on an older Celtic ring wall. On November 22nd, 1222 a "Wernherus de Liebesberc" is mentioned. This is also the date of the first mention of Lißberg. The name changed in the past and came up with a wide variety of spellings: Liebesberc, Lybesborg, Liebesberg to today's Lißberg.

The first members of the Lißberg family appeared at the beginning of the 13th century. The noble lords of Lißberg originally belonged to the high nobility, but lost this quality early on, presumably through unequal marriages, which can be deduced from the fact that in 1323 Rupert von Buches , a member of the knighthood, was referred to as consanguineus Werners von Lisberg (Orig. St. A. Darmst.). A descent from the gentlemen of Büdingen is assumed . The Lißbergers lived mainly from their customs income . They soon fell under the suzerainty of the Counts of Ziegenhain . The Lißberg family died out with Friedrich in 1396 in the male line. From 1455 the Landgraves of Hesse were the sole owners of the castle.

In 1604 Lißberg obtained city ​​rights , which it lost again over time. In 1796 the city was almost completely cremated by the French. The castle was sold for demolition in the 19th century.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Lißberg in 1830:

"Lißberg (L. Bez. Nidda) city; is located in Vogelsberg an der Nidder, 2 St. from Nidda, has 83 houses and 522 inhabitants, who are Protestant except for 1 Catholics. Of the inhabitants, 17 belong to the farmers, 58 to the trade and 15 are day laborers. One finds 1 church, 1 old castle, called the Rumpelsburg, which stands on a basalt knoll and is partly still inhabited by a tenant, 4 mills and the Breitenheide farm. Among the tradespeople are several needlers who manufacture pins and sell them at the Frankfurt trade fairs. The town holds 3 cattle and grocer's markets every year. At Lißberg there is a small pond, the water of which is exceptionally clear, but in which there are no fish. In winter, the millers channel this water into their mill trenches, and this usually prevents them from freezing over. The lett or mud of this pond is gray, and smells like lazy eyes. - Lißberg once had their own masters who took their name from Lißberg Castle, then called Liebesberg. In the 14th century the place had only one chapel, which belonged to the church of Schwickartshausen. Hermann von Liebesberg donated an altar in his castle Liebesberg in 1345, which was dedicated to the Heil. Pankratius was consecrated. Lißberg was a special court that fell from the Lords of Lißberg to the county of Nidda as an opened fief. In 1418 the Counts Johann and Gottfried von Ziegenhain sold half of their Lißberg Castle. "

When the Nidda district was dissolved in 1874 , Lißberg was incorporated into the Büdingen district together with most of the old district . The right to use the name city was revived.

Territorial reform

In the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse , the state government approved the merger of the cities of Lißberg and Ortenberg and the communities of Bergheim, Bleichenbach, Eckartsborn, Usenborn and Wippenbach in the district of Büdingen into one city with the name of Ortenberg with effect from July 1, 1971 . Since the completion of the regional reform in August 1972 Lißberg has been in the Wetterau district . For Lißberg, as for every part of the city, a local district with a local advisory council and a local mayor was established. The boundaries of the local districts follow the previous district boundaries.
