history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1228. In 1420, Count Johann IV von Katzenelnbogen gave the goods to Rodau and Lichtenberg, which the late Heinrich von Hatzstein had owned, to Hamman Echter as a fiefdom to Reinheim. In the 16th century, the practice Landgrave of Hesse , the high authority of. Until the 19th century Lichtenberg was the seat of the office of the same name. In 1312 and 1360 the place was given city rights.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Lichtenberg in 1829:

»Lichtenberg (L. Bez. Reinheim) Lutheran Filialdorf; is 1 1 ⁄ 4  St. from Reinheim, on a steep hill to the east, and has 24 houses and 212 inhabitants, except for 2 Cath. and 1 Reform. are all Lutheran. Lichtenberg is the seat of the regional court and the rent office. Here is a castle in which the judge's apartment, the registries, a church and the fruit storage are located. It consists of the main building with 2 wings, is very spacious and from a fairly recent era; Some of the outbuildings are older than stables, etc .; and the oldest part is the so-called bulwark, a round, half-ruined tower that opened in 238. Foot in girth, and of exceptional solidity. The castle, the rentier, the district prison and several private apartments lie within the perimeter wall, which is provided with a gate. - In the Heppenheimer Markbeschreibung 773, a Gelicheberga is mentioned, and it is not improbable that the current passage is meant by it. Lichtenberg was owned by the Lorsch Monastery and was given as a fief by the latter. As far as the documents go, the castle belonged to the Counts of Katzenellenbogen. First, Count Diether II († before 1245) appears as the owner, who also named himself afterwards. After Lorsch came to the Palatinate, the later owners took Lichtenberg as a fief. In the 14th century Lichtenberg passed into other hands for a time because Count Diether IV, by telling his wife Catharine, 1308, to use her Witthum on this, had left out the ordinary Clausel because of a second marriage. This countess, who entered into her second marriage with Raugraf Heinrich the Elder, was accordingly awarded the castle in her second marriage, as her Witthum from her first marriage. Regardless of this, Count Heinrich von Spanheim, the son of their only daughter who was married to Philipp von Spanheim, considered the castle to be hereditary property, and with a Palatine fief granted his wife Adelheid, a daughter of Count Johann I von Katzenellenbogen, protected it there. In 1360, Count Heinrich von Spanheim received from Emperor Carl IV all the freedom of the city of Lindenfels for the Lichtenberg castle and valley. After the count's death, the castle came back to the counts of Katzenellenbogen. In 1440 the following men from the castle are listed: Georg von Holterpach, Conz Geyling, Dieterich von Hohenstein, Bernhart Kalben, Hanß von Habern, Hanß Rorbach, Diether Gans. In 1482 the Vehmgericht still had a free chair here. The old castle was built round; Landgrave Georg I laid out the current square; he also built a castle chapel in 1570. Landgrave Ludwig V made the 8th October. His will here in 1625, and Landgrave Georg II came here with his entire court because of the plague in Darmstadt in 1629. During the 30 Years War Lichtenberg was a vester place, the refuge of many unfortunate people. In the year 1688 in Decemb. A crew of 1 lieutenant and 60 men came to Lichtenberg with the order not to let French or other peoples in. In 1693, all necessary repairs were carried out with the fortifications at Lichtenberg as well as with the gun, which was not inconsiderable, which was continued in 1694. In 1735 repairs were made to the fortifications and the artillery. At that time there were 2 metal pieces and 4 double hooks on the bulwark itself. - A water pipe once brought the water into the castle. Lichtenberg gave the name to an office and has always been the seat of civil servants. In 1802 the fiefdom of the Palatinate was abolished and Lichtenberg is now Allodium . "

At the latest before the founding of the state of Hesse, Lichtenberg was no longer referred to as a city, but was considered a community until the voluntary merger in the course of the regional reform in Hesse . The merger with the communities of Steinau , Meßbach , Nonrod , Billings and Niedernhausen to form the Fischbachtal community took place on December 31, 1971. For each of the earlier communities, a local district with a local advisory board and mayor was set up according to the Hessian community code. The municipal administration got its seat in the district of Niedernhausen.

Economy and Infrastructure

  • Lichtenberg Institute for Applied Voice Physiology: In 1980, ergonomist Professor Dr. Ing.Walter Rohmert founded a research project at the Institute for Ergonomics (IAD) of the Technical University of Darmstadt to gain new knowledge about vocal and instrumental research and their practical application. The processes involved in singing and playing instruments are recorded using extensive acoustic and physiological measurement methods, and body techniques and physiological models are examined for their effect on vocal sound . The Lichtenberg Institute was founded in 1982 to carry out practical field tests in order to check the theoretical hypotheses and findings with test subjects. The various seminar programs of the institute are used by singers, instrumentalists, actors, people in speaking professions, therapists. The content of the multi-day courses is in the fields of practical body experience (relationship between body and sound), as well as the theoretical and practical teaching of perspectives from acoustics , anatomy , pedagogy , physiology and synergetics . With the Lichtenberger method , which has meanwhile been patented , the pupil is given neutral piano sounds, he sings simple vowel sequences on a prime with the aim of a process-based development of various sound parameters in the comfort zone .
