Lindenholzhausen as a district of Limburg

Lindenholzhausen is a district of the district town of Limburg an der Lahn in the central Hessian district of Limburg-Weilburg . Lindenholzhausen, also known as "Hollesse" in the dialect of the region, with its 830.08 hectare municipal area and around 3300 inhabitants, is the second largest district of Limburg in terms of area and population after the core city. The majority of the population is Catholic.

geography

Lindenholzhausen lies on average at an altitude of 170  m above sea level. NN on the highway A 3 Cologne to Frankfurt. The Emsbach flows past to the east of the village . The district consists of quite flat terrain cut into by the comparatively wide Emsbach lowland, which is mainly used for agriculture. There are only smaller patches of forest around the course of the Emsbach. The location drops further to the course of the brook to up to 125 meters, while the area on the south-eastern edge of the district rises to up to 200 meters.

The Lindenholzhausen district is almost square in shape. In the west it borders on Eschhofen and, in a clockwise direction, on Ennerich , the core town of Runkel , Villmar , Niederbruch , Mensfelden and Linter .

history

Lindenholzhausen was first mentioned as Holzhusen on August 12, 772 in a deed of donation from the Robertin Rachilde to the Lorsch monastery in Ried.

Archaeological finds in the district of Lindenholzhausen indicate human traces that go back to the Hallstatt period, the Urnfield period and the Paleolithic period. A Franconian burial ground in the district is also dated around the time the place was first mentioned . In the Middle Ages Lindenholzhausen first belonged to the Lahngau and then to the County of Diez , but was pledged several times before it fell to Kurtrier in 1564 , which is why the Reformation was not introduced here.

Lindenholzhausen was the seat of a Diezer county court, as early as 1342 and 1485. The parish court Lindenholzhausen - so named in 1486 - was a civil and criminal court. In addition to Lindenholzhausen, where the courthouse was located, it also included Eschhofen with mills, Dietkirchen and the no longer existing places Rübsangen, Vele, Mailstatt (near Eschhofen) and Kreuch (in the Limburg bridge suburb).

The local coat of arms of Lindenholzhausen goes back to the Lindenholzhausen court seal of 1486: In gold, a stylized, green linden tree with roots.

In today's linden wood house district there were two other settlements (Vele and Rübsangen), but they fell in desolation . Vele was first mentioned in 1235. It was located in the area west of the former stationer's house in front of the "Scheid" hill. Around 1450 the place was abandoned and the residents moved to Lindenholzhausen. The settlement of Rübsangen was about northeast of today's cemetery, but already no longer existed when it was first mentioned in 1305. The fountain there, which was still in use at the time of the First World War and was leveled in 1943, is considered the last remnant of the village of Velen. The source drain, which is now piped, flows into the ditch on the railway embankment at the former railroad keeper's house. The houses in the village were probably located between the source and the station keeper's house. Here in the cemetery, whose origins go back to the Urnfield period, there was a church named 1323, which was consecrated to St. Alban of Mainz . This Rübsang church was the curate chapel for the places Rübsangen, Vele, Lindenholzhausen and Eschhofen. It was not until 1725 that Lindenholzhausen was able to break away from the mother parish of Dietkirchen and became an independent parish. In 1806/07 the Albanskirche was demolished.

A church in Lindenholzhausen is documented in 1235 as an own church . In 1698 it was torn down except for the massive Romanesque defense tower and replaced by a new building in the same year. In 1893 this tower was demolished as part of a church expansion. The current bell tower was also built at that time. In 1926/27 the church was given a cross-shaped floor plan with the addition of two transepts. The building now serves as a magazine for the Limburg diocese.

In 1979, not far from the old church, the new church and parish center built under Pastor Willi Siegmund was inaugurated (architect Justus Dahinden , Zurich). Like the old church, this is under the patronage of St. James the Elder . The historically and artistically valuable furnishings from the old church were taken over into the new one. This is a baroque ensemble ("Hadamar School"), consisting of the high altar from around 1700 (probably by Johann Valentin Neudecker the Elder), the fourteen-helper altar of the same age, the Holy Cross Altar from 1740 and the pulpit (around 1736). According to accounting documents, the high altar and the fourteen helper altar were installed in the old church in 1702. The high altar - a Marian altar - contains a cycle of pictures with three paintings (Maria Immaculata, Maria-Himmelfahrt, Trinity) and the following wooden sculptures: James the Elder, Sebastian, George, Archangel Michael, and also John the Evangelist and John the Baptist, which represent the one Pelican crowned tabernacles flank, as well as four angels. On the altarpiece of the Fourteen Holy Helpers Altar, the depiction of the Fourteen Holy Helpers can be seen and in the excerpt a picture of Mary. The altarpiece of the Holy Cross altar shows the crucifixion group (Jesus, Mary, John the Evangelist and Mary Magdalene) painted over from the 19th century. In the extract of the altar there is a relief, which is attributed to the Hadamar carver Martin Volck, with a representation of Johannes Nepomuk. The new church also contains the following historical furnishings: statue of the Good Shepherd (around 1736, also attributed to Martin Volck), statue of Our Lady Mary (first quarter of the 18th century), Romanesque baptismal font made of Eifel basalt lava (12th / 13th centuries) Century), Romanesque bronze crucifix (12th century) of the altar cross.

The Wendelinus Chapel was built in 1631 and contains an altar from 1674. Today it stands on a traffic island at the intersection in the town center.

The "Sauerborn" (officially "Lubentiusbrunnen"), a mineral spring (alkaline sourling) south of the village, was first mentioned in 1323. Lindenholzhausen also includes the linden mill in the Emsbach valley. By 1326 at the latest there was a mill there, which was donated to St. George's monastery in Limburg that year. The current building was built in 1728, in part, on the foundations of the previous mill. After several years of vacancy, the renovation of the property began in 2009. In the former oil mill opposite is a small restaurant, surrounded by a beer garden. The R 8 cycle and hiking trail leads past the Lindenmühle.

In 1750 and 1801 Lindenholzhausen burned down almost completely. As a result of its location on the old "Hohen- und Heerstraße" Cologne - Frankfurt am Main, the so-called Via Publica (around today's B 8, i.e. Frankfurter Straße ) and close to what was then Mainzer Straße to Siegen, Lindenholzhausen had often passed through in the past To suffer troop movements. In 1663, school lessons were first given in Lindenholzhausen in the bakery below the old church. A new school building on "Kreuzgasse" took place in 1725; the building later served as the town hall. In 1871 the no longer existing school building was erected in Schulstrasse. Since 1966 the newly built Lindenschule has been teaching.

On December 31, 1971, Lindenholzhausen joined the city of Limburg as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
