history

Village linden and Protestant church in the old town center

Lischeid was first mentioned in a document in 1251 as "Lichtenscheit". At that time half of the village belonged to the Haina monastery , which was allowed to claim tithe in this part of the village. 1264 the monastery acquired by Werner Boppendorf the other half and one was against him lehnspflichtig . The place of jurisdiction was from December 8, 1265 to 1350 at the Haina monastery. The dance linden tree is said to have been planted around 1300 at the inauguration of a small church with a churchyard. In 1350, the Haina monastery returned the court to the Counts of Ziegenhain, who from then on owned it as a fief . Nevertheless, the farmers with the 11th sheaf, the smoke chicken and other services to the Haina monastery remained taxable until it was replaced in the 19th century. In 1550 the Spich and Bergseite became a utility forest (construction and firewood), in the same year serfdom was lifted. In 1570 Lischeid had 29 households. From 1628 to 1648 the place belonged to Upper Hesse because of the Marburg inheritance . The parish corridor was re-measured in 1754. In 1776 about 200 people lived in Lischeid. There were also two customs officers because of the intersection. At that time Lischeid had a brewery, a customs post, a bakery with a collar for field thieves and a shepherd's house as well as a turnpike.

The ev. Village church

At the time of the Thirty Years War , Lischeid stood in the meadow, now known as the deep stream. It was destroyed by fire. Up until a few years ago, you could still see some remains of the wall that remind you of the old church, which was passed by the road that Napoleon built on the occasion of his Russian campaign in 1812. The village church was rebuilt from 1855 to 1856 under difficult conditions. The cost was 2,768 thalers. In 1857 there were 339 residents in Lischeid, the place comprised 49 houses. In the school at that time there were around 70 students with a teacher. An organ was inaugurated in the church in 1878, for which 2100 marks had been donated. In 1892 the first water pipe was laid. Lischeid became an independent parish in 1883, and Helwig Sprenger donated a new organ in 1895. The current rectory was built in 1897–1898.

A school was built in the cuckoo gardens from 1902 to 1903. A state kindergarten was established in 1939. During a low-flying attack on retreating German troops on Reichsstrasse 3 (today's B3 ) on March 29, 1945, the church windows of the village church were destroyed. Lischeid celebrated its 700th anniversary on July 10, 1954. The Lischeid Voluntary Fire Brigade was founded on April 5, 1955. In 1956 a new water pipe was built. The Stern and Jünger courtyards and the bakery were demolished in 1963 for the construction of Bundesstraße 3, which began in 1964. Also in 1964 the sewer system and the village street were built. In 1968 the village beautification association was founded. The first district fire brigade festival in Lischeid was celebrated in 1970. From 1970 to 1973 the village church was completely renovated.

With the formation of the large community of Gilserberg during the regional reform, Lischeid gave up its independence on December 31, 1971. The last mayor was Johannes Krähling. Since then, the municipality of Lischeid has been one of the districts of Gilserberg. The village school was closed in 1975, the children were then taken by bus to the highland school in Gilserberg. In the same year the extinguishing water pond was developed into a swimming pool by the citizens of Lischeid. In 1978 the grill hut was built on the sports field. The church entrance was redesigned in 1982 with a copper work. The left half of the door shows the expulsion from paradise and the right a resurrection scene. From 1981 to 1982 the former village school was converted by an extension to the village community center. The Lischeider youth club was founded on September 11, 1982. A sewage treatment plant for Lischeid was built on the outskirts of Josbach in 1985.

In 1992 the cemetery hall was completed. The conversion of the former school barn next to the village community center into a fire station , which was previously partially used as a public cattle scale, took place in 1998. A roofed barbecue area was also built next door. The second district fire brigade festival took place from June 16 to 18, 2000. On February 1, 2001, the Lischeider homepage went online. The site was created as part of the 750th anniversary and was then expanded further. This celebration took place from June 13th to 17th, 2001, during which the local associations and citizens built a new village square and a refuge on one of the surrounding hiking trails. In 2007 a new fire engine was procured. This was an LF 10/6 with all-wheel drive. Minor renovations to the former school barn, which was only recently converted into a fire station, were necessary in order to be able to station the new emergency vehicle here.

An important north-south trade route has always led through Lischeid. About 1.5 km northwest of Lischeid there was a not insignificant hilltop castle in the Middle Ages , the Heimburg , which today is only preserved as a castle stable . In later times Lischeider citizens used the street as an honest source of income. They harnessed their wagons for the merchants to pull them over the slope of the Hohe Warte in the direction of Gilserberg.

Origin of the place name

The oldest written spelling dates from 1251 and is called "Lichtenscheit". This name probably goes back to the fact that in the course of the population growth, young families moved up the valleys and cleared the dense forests. This created clearings and subsequently the place Lischeid. In the course of history the place name developed further: Leytensceith, Littenscet, Lechtensceth, Lysscheiit, Lichscheidt, Lischeid. After clearing the primeval forest, the light of the sun is given free entry. The final syllables -sceith, -scet, -scheiit, -scheidt denote all kinds of boundaries. Here light, weather, water and even traditional costumes are different, even a political border line once ran through the village. On one side the Lahngau , on the other the Hessengau . Lischeider waters flow to the Rhine , to the north begins the river basin of the Weser .

Current data

In 2016 the place had about 350 inhabitants, several small craft and service companies and an active club life. The following associations exist: Voluntary fire brigade, rural women’s association, trombone choir (Lischeid-Winterscheid-Heimbach), youth club, frozen house community, village beautification association, fair association, hunting association, singing group, senior citizens association, motorsport club and various regulars.

The town's annual festivities include the May fire (April 30th), the fair (second weekend in May), a St. Martin's parade and the St. Nicholas celebration for the children. On New Year's Eve - it has been the custom for years - the residents and their visitors go through the town and exchange wishes for the New Year. One of the meeting points is the courtyard in front of the rectory.

The number of inhabitants has declined in recent years, mainly due to the low birth rate. In 1980 Lischeid still had around 450 inhabitants. The old town center is becoming extinct. Nevertheless, several new building areas have been developed in the past 20 to 25 years, most of which are now built on.

The 1000-year-old Tanzlinde below the church is known nationwide . Lischeid also offers, among other things, a semi-public outdoor pool managed by the citizens themselves, a large children's playground, two barbecue areas with fixed barbecue huts, a village community center with separate assembly rooms and a self-managed youth room.

As part of the urban redevelopment program , the community of Gilserberg intends to provide funds for a comprehensive renovation of the swimming pool, the village community center and the children's playground in the coming years and thus make the place more attractive.

On July 21, 2009, the Hessian Prime Minister Roland Koch visited the site and found out about the progress of the renovation measures of the village community center as part of the economic stimulus package II .

Village linden

The village linden tree in Lischeid (2017)

An excerpt from the chronicle of the former Lischeider village school zur Dorflinde (1949):

“The documents about our village go back to 1251. The linden tree is much older. In Brohmer's book on plants in their location, customs and poetry, the Lischeider linden is mentioned and its age is given as around 1000 years. In her youth there was an artificial intervention in the natural way of life. All branches with the crown were directed sideways and stretched over a scaffold. A tour was built, which over the years was crowned by a canopy of leaves. The flexible branches grew into branches as thick as trees, which today are heavy and bulky on the thick beams. The short and extensive trunk forms the central column of this unique shadow hall. Over the centuries, some armchairs have collapsed under the force of the cheerful arms. But then a concerned generation was always ready to erect new stalls and to pour cement food into the empty cavities in the trunk and branches. In this way, the community was able to keep up with the last contemporaries of an eventful contemporary history. Under the linden tree, the youth organized the fair parties and other dance amusements until around 1925. The meetings of the community fathers also took place under the linden tree. In the shade of the old linden tree, the parishioners discussed all village matters. "

traffic

Lischeid is cut through by the federal highway 3 . Despite the truck driving ban that has existed since 2006, hundreds of truck drivers use this route as "toll refugees" on the A7 / A5 every day . A request for a bypass was rejected in the late 1960s / early 1970s. The demand for further construction of the A49 has been contradicted by citizens' initiatives for many years.

The B3 was extensively renewed in the area of ​​the through-town between 2005 and 2006. A pedestrian traffic light on the B3 in the area of ​​the church was set up. The adjacent sidewalks were also newly paved and, in a unique project, made accessible for the walking and visually impaired.

At the northern entrance to the village at the end of a steep incline on the B3 there is a permanently installed speed control system.
