Hall facades and hydropower plant of the Johannsen factory Battenberg, Am Mühlrain, Mühlacker
Flur: 19, parcel: 6/1, 8/8
Large-volume factory hall built around 1900, located directly on the former Mühlbach, with a sedge roof and a display facade to the courtyard, to which a plastered younger extension with a gable roof adjoins in the northeast. The older facade is divided into three components enclosed by simply stepped gables, of which the left component, located on the water, is made of sandstone blocks, the other two made of bricks. The only decorative element of the left part of the facade is an entrance projecting in the middle from the wall surface, framed by rusticated sandstone blocks, enclosed in segmental arches and with a flat gabled entrance with a double-leaf frame-infill door and a fixed glass skylight. The middle and highest component is divided horizontally by five tile strips. Above the centrally arranged, double-winged entrance door, framed by gabled pilasters and closed with a round arched window, there is an ocular and an opening with a round arched end in the viewing gable. The door is flanked on both sides by two rounded, arched windows. The low, right-hand component repeats the shape of the middle one, except that only three strips of brick structure the facade and the two flanking windows are closed off by segmental arches. From the same construction period, a half-timbered building was also preserved on the front eaves of the halls, which houses the historic hydropower plant, which draws its water from a moat that is now enclosed in concrete. around 1900 79055

Former house on the Auhammer factory site Battenberg, Auhammer
hallway: 42, parcel: 10
In 1773, smelter Doepp, salt inspector Klingelhöfer and city governor Stapp from Biedenkopf founded a hammer mill in the Ederaue northwest of Battenberg. The water power for the hammers was carried from the Ederwehr through a 1,200 meter long canal to the hammer pond, from which it operated the hammers through a 50 meter long channel. After several changes of ownership, HW Drebermann, the son-in-law of Johann Caspar Hasenclever from Gevelsberg, took over the factory in 1874. From 1875 scythes are forged here, then plowshares until 1958. The hammer mill remained in the possession of the Hasenclever company until 1964 and was then taken over by Eisenwerk Brühl GmbH from Brühl. The hammer mill was expanded to include an iron foundry in 1913; In 1958 it was shut down. The oldest three half-timbered buildings of the Auhammer originally come from the Kleudelburg, a hunting lodge of Landgrave Ernst Ludwig, and were acquired by the plant's founders in 1772 and moved here. Of the houses that were rebuilt at the time, only the three-wing former residential building, which has been used as an office building since 1984, remains today. The single-storey half-timbered house with uniform windows rises above a flat base and is closed off by a hipped roof. The north wing is extended by an extension with a ribbon window. While the two side wings are completely slated, the rear of the central wing shows a structural framework with storey-high struts. The center is emphasized by a polygonal porch and a gabled dwarf. 18th and 19th centuries 79076
 
Hotel Schneider Battenberg, Biedenkopfer Straße 1
hallway: 34, parcel: 9
At the corner of Gartenstrasse, a two-storey hotel building with an almost square floor plan. A completely slated upper floor rises above a flat base and a plastered ground floor, which is closed off by a hipped roof with dormers. On Biedenkopfer Strasse there is a single-storey porch, closed off by a hipped roof and accessed via an outside staircase, as an entrance, which is flanked on the left by a bay that protrudes like a bay on the upper floor. Another flight of stairs leads on Gartenstrasse through a basket arched passage to a drawn-in entrance area. The original two or three-part windows with skylights are remarkable. 20th century 760389
 
Burgberg mine tunnel Battenberg, Burgberg
hallway: 13, parcel: 51/13
Between 1830 and 1860, requests for mutation were submitted to the grand ducal superstructure management in Darmstadt to start the search for iron and manganese ores on the castle hill.

Shafts and tunnels were drained to extract brownstone. The extracted brown stone was packed in wooden barrels and carted to the next rail loading station to be used in the textile and paper industry for bleaching purposes. In the long run, however, the yield was not sufficient to cover the costs incurred, so that the mine field changed hands several times. The mine was closed around 1911 and the shafts and tunnel mouth holes were filled with overburden for safety reasons. About 30 years later, during World War II, two tunnel systems were reopened. Battenberg residents should find protection from possible bomb attacks. After the war, the tunnel mouth holes were closed for the second time. In 1975 the first attempts were made to uncover the tunnel systems. However, activities quickly came to a standstill and the tunnel mouth holes were closed with steel doors. In 1998 the attempt to develop the historic tunnels began again. The overburden was extracted from the tunnels and the Burgbergstollen visitor mine was opened on June 17, 2000. Large parts of the tunnel systems are still waiting to be developed.

Kellerburg castle ruins Battenberg, Burgberg
hallway: 13, parcel: 51/13
The cellar castle with its oval floor plan probably dates from the Hohenstaufen era and was first mentioned in a document in 1227. The keep, the moat and the remains of the wall ring have been preserved. The castle was used for residential purposes until 1462, later only as a warehouse. A century later it appeared in the village register of the Upper Duchy of Marburg in 1577 as an intact sovereign fortification. After that, however, it increasingly fell into disrepair, so that in 1712 it was only listed as a ruin in the Salbuch, largely in its current state. The keep, made of quarry stone masonry with openings bordered by sandstone, has recently been renovated and made accessible to tourists through a staircase inside. around 1227 79073
 
Residential building Battenberg, Burgbergstraße 1
hallway: 13, parcel: 15
Single-storey residential building built on a park-like corner plot at the junction of Dodenauer Strasse and Marburger Strasse. The brightly plastered house, designed in the form of the Heimat style, is built on a rubble stone base and is structured by a bay window on the southeast corner and windows with shutters. The very high gable roof with a dormer window leaves a slated gable with a hip and bat window open to the street. The garden with its quarry stone wall forms an integral part of the structural design of the house, which was probably built in the late 1920s. Beginning of the 20th century 79058
 
Enclosing walls of the former Battenburg (Old Castle)
Enclosing walls of the former Battenburg (Old Castle) Battenberg, Hauptstrasse, Hauptstrasse 65, Hauptstrasse 58
Corridor: 14, Parcel: 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 74/1
The castle, which was used as the official residence of the Counts of Battenberg until 1314, was first mentioned in 1194. From 1668 to 1678, the landgrave's chief forester lived in the castle, which had four rooms and three chambers, until he moved into the newly built office building.

The excavated foundations of the castle show severe damage. Since the castle was still intact on an engraving by Dilich around 1600, it can be assumed that it was attacked by imperial troops in November 1647. However, it does not appear to be completely dilapidated until the early 18th century, as it was still inhabited in the 17th century. Around 1779 the parish of Battenberg bought the ruins and the area up to the church in order to build a parsonage there. In the 1950s, a new rectory was built on the castle cellar. The walls made of quarry stone with loopholes have been preserved from the former castle.

historical town hall Battenberg, Hauptstraße 46
hallway: 14, parcel: 55
Narrow and tall, former town hall dating back to the 16th century, which optically dominates the street area that has been extended to the square with its gable façade, which is slated into the upper floors. A wide, high flight of stairs in front of the rubble-stone plinth made of red sandstone, which was renewed in 1937, leads to a frame-infill door flanked by two windows with a fixed skylight and gabled lintel. On the two floors above there is a four-part ribbon window. The two corner bay windows on the second floor are remarkable, above which the double cantilevered gable supports a gable roof with a crooked hip. The timber-framed timber frame is stiffened by wide struts with head angle timbers and provided with profiled filler boards in the entablature zones. On the right side of the eaves, the strongly cantilevered upper floor is supported by three studs, the outer two of which are profiled and stiffened by headbands, as well as two heavily dimensioned beams with bows. An additional bentwood can be found on the corner to the gable side. First repairs to the town hall are documented in 1650. In 1788 the ground floor was still used as a market hall, in 1850 the first floor served as a school and the second floor as a meeting room for the local councils. 16th Century 79064

Neuburg, today town hall with garden Battenberg, Hauptstrasse 58, Hauptstrasse, Im Hain
Lage
Corridor: 14, Parcel: 133, 134, 135, 136, 138, 139, 141, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35
According to an inscription in a sandstone above the cellar door, the Neuburg was built and privately financed by "Carl Loener von Lauenburg 1732", the chief forest master at the time. Landgrave Ludwig VIII, who used the Neuburg regularly as a hunting lodge until 1768, reimbursed the chief forester for the construction costs of 24,000 guilders over the course of the following five years. Since then, the house has been used as an official residence. In 1774 buildings and stables are leased, in 1776 land dragons are quartered. The upper floor has been rented for residential purposes since the 1880s. From 1835 the buildings were used by the Battenberg Regional Court , and from 1839 to 1970 as a forestry office. The building also served as an apartment for the respective magistrate and head forester. Since 1971, Neuburg, acquired by the city, has been the seat of the municipal administration. The Neuburg, which already dominates the city skyline in the northeast, was built directly south of the site of the former Old Castle. It opens to the south in a garden which, like the courtyard, is enclosed by a wall. Sandstone gate posts in the northwest mark the entrance. The main building is a two-storey, now classicist-looking building, the red sandstone base of which is below the courtyard level, but extends over two storeys towards the valley and is plastered there corresponding to the upper storeys. The regular, nine-axis facade, which has vertical windows with folding shutters and is closed by a hipped roof, is accessed from the courtyard via a wide flight of stairs. To the right of the building is a single-storey intermediate building, to which a solidly bricked wagon barn with a half-hipped gable roof and a narrow dwelling was added as a loading hatch in the 19th century. To the left of the main house there is a single-storey half-timbered carriage house with three gates. The half-timbered construction is stiffened by widely spread struts with long headbands and closed off by a gable roof with half-hips. To the northeast of the carriage shed there was originally another building that is only visible through relics of the base. 1732 760398

Evangelical Church, formerly St. Marien Battenberg, Hauptstraße 61
hallway: 14, parcel: 27/1
The church in Battenberg is spatially and politically closely connected to the Lords of Battenberg, named in 1194 as the side line of the Wittgenstein family, and their castle complex, which is probably much older. The naming of Battenberg as a city in 1234 at the latest also requires a church, perhaps an already existing castle chapel. In 1238 half and in 1296 the whole city fell to Mainz, which established an office here. At this time, at the latest, the construction of today's church, which is connected to the unsecured date of 1249, should have taken place. The patronage right had not been exercised by the Lords of Battenberg, who died out around 1340, since 1288, but by the Counts of Runkel. From them it passed to the Lords of Biedenfeld as Burgmannen von Battenberg and fell to the Solms-Hohensolms-Lich family in the 18th century. 1526 Introduction of the Lutheran creed, interrupted by a reformed period from 1606 to 1624. Renovations of the church in 1886 - at that time the rectangular windows visible in photos were replaced by today's ones and the west portal was created - and in 1958, in the latter, among other things, the paintings were exposed and the galleries away. The church is probably located in the former outer bailey of the castle complex in the east of today's old town, between the (former) castle at the highest point and the lower market square to the north. The main viewing side is the south side. Three-aisled, three-bay hall church made of plastered and whitewashed quarry stone, the box choir in the east is connected without a transept. Buttresses are missing from the exterior, only the corners of the building are somewhat articulated by unplastered sandstones. A tower-like, square roof turret, which probably dates from the 16th or early 17th century, rises from the slate covering above the west yoke. A photo from before 1886 shows the south wall of the church with late Gothic rectangular windows and a larger arched portal in the west yoke of the south wall. The model for today's window openings created in 1886 was the choir east window, which was apparently in two parts and provided with tracery. The west portal was designed as a small porch in 1886 and finished with a sandstone profile and finial; the windowed tracery tympanum shows a small three-pass over two standing four-passages. A small, construction-time entrance in the north wall is walled up. In the interior of the ship, two pairs of massive round pillars made of quarry stone with simply designed capital slabs made of stone support the domed domical vaults, which are heavily elevated at the apex and which merge into one another without constructive transverse arches - the visible, flat and broad ones are probably only plastered. One-hip, ridged vaults were built into the aisles; the belt arches lie on simple profile plates on the side walls. In the east, the side aisles flow into side apses, which are not quite wall-high, segment-arch-shaped deepened into the walls and rounded at the top, with small, also arched central windows. The triumphal arch as a transition into the choir, which was built at the same time, rests on box templates with profile plates, which are continued as supports for the partition arches. The vault, which is also domed and slightly lower than the main nave, runs into the corners of the room without consoles. The painting in these areas uncovered in 1958 comes from the time of construction and tries to emphasize or even complement those architectural elements that visually support the space, namely capital slabs on pillars and walls, cuboids in color changes (triumphal arch, arched edges of the apse niches and window frames there ), Vault borders and ashlar masonry on the surfaces of the choir vault and in the apse niches. In the apse niches, there are large stars that play visually with a negative / positive effect, on the north-east pillar on the main aisle side there is a statue of St. Christopher, which was visible from the former main entrance in the south wall. It seems possible that the seat of a court in particular was decisive for the choice of a more elaborate, multi-aisle room shape, including in Laisa, Bromskirchen, Frohnhausen and Breidenbach. The construction in Battenberg, with its antiquated appearance, belongs conceptually and in terms of its spatial effect to a group of hall churches in the South Westphalian-North Hessian area from the second half of the 13th century to around 1300, most of which were also equipped with single-hip vaults in the side aisles: Hallenberg , Meschede-Eversberg, Schmallenberg-Wormbach (all Hochsauerlandkreis), Breidenbach (district of Marburg-Biedenkopf) and Laisa, the latter with domed aisle vaults, but most similar to Battenberg in terms of spatial effect. The equipment is post-Reformation. The sandstone baptismal font, the basin of which is framed by four volute pilasters, is labeled "1608". On the east wall of the choir on both sides of the window two epitaphs by Battenberg rentmasters: to the north of Jost Bücking called Kumpel († 1633) with his portrait-like representation of the family under the cross of Christ (the people are labeled with inscriptions) and coat of arms. To the south the so-called Peststein, memorial stone for the dead of the Grebe family (Hans Grebe, year of death unrecognizable, and his wife Catharina Ort, † 1567), the tablet framed in heraldic strips, including a relief with the kneeling family. The plaque supposedly donated in 1620 also reminds of the plague of 1597 in Battenberg; Among the 255 dead were the “councilor” Hans Grebe, who was 89 years old, and his wife Kunigunde von Weitershausen. Of the four 17th and 18th century gravestones that were removed from the interior in 1958, one weathered one is built into the outside north wall. The window glazing on the west portal dates from 1886, the rest of the furnishings from 1958: Windows by Erhard Klonck, Marburg; Altar table and pulpit by Horst Jarritz, Jesberg; the altar cross from Bleybaum, Marburg. The organ on the west wall of the south aisle was built by Wolfgang Böttner in Frankenberg around 1960, and the case was designed by the state curator Hans Feldtkeller. from approx. 1249 79067
 
Darmstädisches Amtshaus, former forest office
Darmstädisches Amtshaus, former forest office Battenberg, Hofstatt 5
hallway: 14, parcel: 16
Under Landgrave Ludwig VI. from Hessen-Darmstadt, the construction of the office building begins in 1668, which was completed under his son in 1678 according to the door inscription "Orsus Opus Ludwig Sextus Pertexuit Haeres Aule Virtutis Hominis Et Patrii", which can be read as a chronogram. After the bailiffs initially resided here, later, in line with the deteriorating state of the building, first the renters, and later from 1874 the forester of the Elbrighausen Forestry Office moved in here. After the tithe was replaced in 1830, the tithe barn was sold for demolition, and further storage facilities were demolished in 1854. After a thorough renovation, the stately property has been privately inhabited since 1973.

The property, located in the north-west of the old town, shapes the roof landscape of the historic old town with its high, partially dormerized, gabled roofs. The ground floor of the main house was built from 120 cm thick gray walls with sandstone blocks over an area of ​​24 × 11 m. All door and window openings are provided with soffits made of red sandstone. The profiled reveals of the double-winged, coffered entrance door, which is crowned by a twin window, are remarkable. An original basement access to the three separately accessible, spacious vaulted cellars, located in the north-east on the eaves side facing the courtyard, is now closed by a window. A half-timbered upper floor rises above the ground floor with a profiled threshold and figures on corner and collar posts. All windows have shutters. All outbuildings are built in simple structural half-timbering over high quarry stone plinths made of sandstone. The stately courtyard is surrounded by the remains of a quarry stone wall that partially coincides with the course of the city wall.

barn Berghofen, Battenberger Straße 3
hallway: 16, parcel: 2/3
On the corner of Palmsbergstraße on the eaves side, set back from the street, built barn with half-timbered house built almost parallel to the first. It is probably the oldest farm in the village. The initially built two-storey barn with a massively renovated ground floor has a high barn door flanked by two doors, above which there is a younger extension. The profiled threshold of the upper floor is provided with an inscription above the barn door: "Johannes Arnold and maria chaharin deßen wife trusted god and they built this scheuer on the 1st of august ANNO 1771". The bike pictures on the stands are remarkable. According to the inscription in the frame-like long bar, the house was not built until three years later: "This is what God the Father does through his dear Jesus Christ and through the dear holy spirit. The highly praised trinity be praise and praise in eternity Amen * Please God for his blessing, which is to everyone if you don't have the same, Samen will come a year too early in 1774 ". It is a half-timbered house above a flat sandstone base, which is made higher on the clad gable side. The half-timbered structure presents itself as a post construction with a two-story intermediate post structure, in which long bars are inserted instead of threshold and frame. The profiling of the lower long ledger continues over the structural frame and thus gives the impression of a multi-storey building. 1771 79170
 
Two-storey half-timbered house Berghofen, Battenberger Straße 7
hallway: 18, parcel: 55
Two-storey half-timbered house on a stepped sandstone block base, which is accessed on the courtyard side via a flat flight of stairs, at an acute angle and facing the street. The inscription, still legible in 1950, dates the building: "This building has been repaired through God's help and power. Jacob Sellmann and his wife trusted God and built this house master carpenter Johannes Jesberg von Röddenau July 18, 1808". While the ground floor in the rear half of the house was massively renewed, the original half-timbering, with cross-storey structural frameworks at the corners of the building and two-storey intermediate framework with mortised long bars, is likely to have been preserved under the cladding on the eaves sides and slate on the gable side, as the windows in size and Position correspond to historical views. The scope of the monument also includes a barn that closes off the courtyard opposite the residential building and is also built at the gable facing the street. The large courtyard gate on the eaves side extends to the upper floor. On the right-hand side, the younger, tiered timber-framed framework is characterized by storey-high struts, on the left the front area of ​​the ground floor has been massively renewed in brickwork. Nonetheless, the framework construction with strong, cross-storey structural frameworks and two-storey intermediate framework with mortised long bars has remained clearly legible. The profiling of the long bars runs over the structural stand. The corner posts have round rod profiles that end in a wickerwork base at the bottom and a pearl rod with rosettes at the top. The structure is stiffened by struts with head angle wood and counter-rotating footbands as well as some short struts. 1808 79171
 
Half-timbered house Berghofen, Grabenstraße 2
hallway: 16, parcel: 21/3
The house originally built in Rennertehausen was probably dismantled in the second half of the 19th century and rebuilt in Berghofen.

Set back in the courtyard of the plot, the building facing Grabenstrasse, eaves, expands the street space at the confluence with Zentralstrasse. The farm buildings erected in 1929 over a flat base with a solid ground floor in structural framework with high struts and headbands narrow the street again. The two-storey residential building on a nearly storey-high, plastered plinth is accessed on the eaves side via a flight of stairs through an Art Nouveau frame-infill door with a fixed glass skylight, which cuts into the half-timbered construction of the ground floor. Between strong, cross-storey structural frameworks, a two-story intermediate framework in long bars is pegged in instead of threshold and frame. 2nd half of the 19th century 79172

Old school Berghofen, Palmsbergstraße 2
hallway: 18, parcel: 58/4
The old school stood on the site of today's church. In 1827 the community bought one of the Biedenfeld houses from the estate and established the school there. Extensive renovations were carried out in 1833, and the school hall was expanded in 1911 and 1932. Since the school closed in 1974, the building has been privately owned and has been converted into a residential building.

The two-storey, gabled half-timbered house rises above a high sandstone plinth, which is set back into the courtyard far from the street. The high doorway with skylight on the eaves side in the courtyard cuts through the base and the ground floor framework. While there were originally only two windows to the right of the door on the ground floor, the gable end, which is now clad, was provided with a four-part ribbon window, one of which was blocked. The high upper storey, on the other hand, was regularly windowed through on the eaves side and only received today's openings instead of a small window on the slated gable side in the middle of the 20th century. The gable side is closed by a double overhanging, slated gable, which supports the gable roof. The half-timbered structure, which is stiffened by man figures and trimmed in storeys, is defined by an entablature zone with rounded filler timber with fillets and an upper floor threshold with a round bar profile.

Former forester's house Berghofen, Rainstraße 25
hallway: 4, parcel: 58/3
After the former Hesse-Darmstadt hinterland became Prussian after 1867, the reorganization of forestry according to the Prussian model began, resulting in new buildings for foresters and forest workers. The forester's house in Berghofen was probably built before 1900 west of the village on today's Rainstraße and today presents itself as a single-storey, massive, now white plastered, gable-facing brick building. Above the ground floor of the house, which has an eaves-side commercial annex to the west, a half-timbered drapery floor rises on profiled beam heads, which ends on the street side with a gable, the framework of which is decorated with St. Andrew's crosses in some parapet compartments. A flat purlin roof with a protruding verge forms the top of the building. around 1900 79866
 
Protestant church Berghofen, Zentralstraße 1
hallway: 18, parcel: 49/2
The first known church was built in 1561. As a model shows, it was a half-timbered church on a floor-to-ceiling quarry stone base, the simple saddle roof of which was crowned in the west by a turret with a pointed tent roof. It was torn down in 1911 due to its dilapidation and insufficient size and replaced by a new building at another location. In 1912/1913 a new church was built at the confluence of Eckenweg and Zentralstraße according to the plans of the church builder for the Wiesbaden consistorial district, Ludwig Hofmann from Herborn. Kaiser Wilhelm II bore half of the costs in the form of a gift of grace. The church was consecrated on August 17, 1913. The church, which was renovated in 1967, shows itself on the outside as a simple hall building made of roughly hewn stone with a butt joint in the east and a retracted vestibule in the west, next to which the staircase to the gallery is located. At the intersection of the vestibule, which is provided with a slanted, double overhanging gable, and the nave, a high, square roof turret with a pointed spire rises. The only, more elaborately designed component of the otherwise simple church is the segment-arched door in the vestibule with its heavily profiled garments in the Renaissance style, framed with leaf tendrils and a keystone in the form of a leaf-framed Herzjesu cross on a flower.

The room, which is lit by small dormers in the flat vaulted concrete barrel, apart from the three arched windows on the long sides, is whitewashed and is only structured by the fixtures on the two narrow sides and a truss in the middle of the nave. The west is occupied by the organ loft resting on four beveled stands with curved headwoods, which has a parapet with strongly profiled dew bands and slender board balusters. The east side occupies a pulpit altar under a baroque stained glass window with the image of Jesus as a shepherd, the central pulpit of which was made in 1780 by the local carpenter Johann Heinrich Henkel and inserted in its current location in 1912. The polygonal pulpit cage opened on the back rests on an octagonal foot, the lower part of which is made of sandstone and the upper wooden part of which carries the cage with heavily profiled horizontal timbers via curved headbands.

The courtyard has remained almost unchanged to this day. 1884 760412
 
Formerly St. Dodenau, Glockenweg 1
hallway: 3, parcel: 61
The Martin's patronage of the church and the topographically prominent location of Dodenau point to an early, perhaps Franconian foundation. The first mention of the place and the parish was made in one by Pope Lucius III. document issued in 1184 as "Tatinowi cum parrochia et decimis"; In 1223/30 the place was called "Dadenowa", in 1290 "Todenowe". Presumably the village was together with the Liebrighausen old Aschaffenburg-Mainz property that was given away from imperial estates. The church, preserved in its remains, was built in the 12th century. Around 1400 Dodenau was also desolate, but perhaps inhabited again by the middle of the 15th, or at the latest in the 16th century. Troop occupancy and the plague during the Thirty Years' War led to a further decline in the medieval church, which was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century using building remains and probably old stone material. Excavations did not take place. Recently repainted outside.

The church is located on the south-western edge of the village center on an edge of the terrain high above the Eder, near the road that branches off below the church to Bad Berleburg and crosses the Eder towards Hatzfeld. Simple, wide hall made of quarry stone. The apse protruding from the east wall of the church is recognizable from the Romanesque building of the 12th century, although it may have been raised in Gothic times. It is possible, however, that parts of the east and south walls (with a small portal) can be traced back to the core building, while the irregular window arrangement, especially in the east area of ​​the church, suggests that it was still being converted or expanded in medieval times (horizontal offset in the southern choir east wall at eaves level of the apse; vertical recess in the south wall of the church). In the 17th century, parts of the surrounding walls and the house-like protruding gallery extension made of half-timbered construction on the north side (sub-structure of quarry stone with church portal, the half-timbered floor accessible via long stone stairs from the east, on top of that, half-timbered gable with half-hip) were rebuilt. The entire interior division and the roof structure with the slated roof turret (square floor plan, octagonal hood, see: Bromskirchen, Frohnhausen, renewed in 1963) were created at that time. The flat ceiling of the interior rests on two mighty wooden cross sections, the west of which is supported by two, the east only by a strong stand on the south side; the stands with entangled bars and struts. Two longitudinal beams each connect the walls and crossbeams. The woodwork is painted red and cautiously painted. The furnishings include an altar crucifix of the three-nail type, probably with a baroque setting, second half of the 15th century (cf. Hatzfeld). An octagonal baptismal font in the shape of a pillar with a broad base and a barely protruding basin, the sides with flat fittings, is dated "1621" on the basin. The pulpit is attached to the southeastern stand: polygonal pulpit cage with panels, the corners are accentuated by a kind of fittings; narrow sound cover with angels' heads and spherical attachments, around 1700. The pulpit staircase is protected by the presumably somewhat younger parish chair in the corner of the room. Simple, coffered galleries to the north and west. The organ stands on the west gallery behind a five-part symmetrical front, 9 stops on a manual and pedal, built around 1900 by Eduard Vogt from Korbach . On the outside of the church two standing tombstones with essays from 1669 and 1756 (double tombstone).

Hobe 1 Dodenau, Hobe
hall: 5, parcel: 213
To the west of Dodenau on the road to Elsoff, a half-timbered courtyard, the courtyard of which opens onto the street. The two-storey half-timbered house, built around 1800, is located on the eaves and closes off the courtyard at the rear, rises above a storey-high, plastered base. While the basement is accessible on the clad eaves side, the living area on the gable side is accessible via a high flight of stairs. The half-timbered construction shows itself here as a structural frame construction with an intermediate frame structure pegged into a long bar. In addition to a round bar profile, which is continued over the structural frame, the long bar also has an inscription: "O Lord, your protection and a strong hand protect the house from fire and fire from theft and theft at all times". The left door stand is also provided with a round bar profile as a remnant of a frame. The formerly free-standing barn, which is oriented at right angles to the house, has recently been connected to the house by an intermediate building. The barn is also a structural frame construction with an interposed frame work that is mortised into long bars. The almost completely clad half-timbering is only exposed on the courtyard side with the two large gates. Above the flatter left gate, the long bar is provided with the following inscription: "Johann Jost Biebiheuser and his wife Anna elisabett, they trusted God and built this building on May 10th 1832". The inscription above the central gate reads: "What God lets us grow on earth that should be collected here." To the right of the gate is a door, the lintel bolt has another inscription: "The master carpenter was Andreas Spenner". around 1800 79212
 
Barn of the former mill Dodenau, Mühlenweg 1, Mühlenweg
hallway: 3, parcel: 100.99
On the western outskirts of Dodenau is the village mill, which formerly consisted of a mill building, a house and a barn. The mill building and house were largely rebuilt in the second half of the 20th century, but the large-volume half-timbered barn from the late 18th century was retained. On the ground floor, partially renewed, on the upper floor it still preserves the building-time framework with a dense structure of heavily dimensioned wood, which is stiffened by man figures on the corner posts. Corner timber in the gable and the inner wall frames constructed as anchor beams clearly show the old age of the barn. Late 18th century 79204
 
Rectory Dodenau, Pfarrweg 1
hallway: 3, parcel: 58
On an irregularly cut parcel behind the church eaves facing the Pfarrweg, slated half-timbered house on a flat base that compensates for the rise in the terrain. On the gable side, which is unspoilt on the mountain side, there is a two-storey timber-framed structure with a high ground floor. The upper floor juts out over an entablature zone with carved beam heads, fill boards with dew bars and a profiled threshold. The double cantilevered gable is closed off by a gable roof. The structural framework is stiffened on the corner posts on the ground floor by three-quarter struts, on the upper floor by very wide struts that form male figures. Enclosing the garden is also part of the monument scope of the rectory built in the second half of the 17th century. 2nd half of the 17th century 79205
 
Half-timbered house Dodenau, Poststraße 1
hall: 1, parcel: 160
At a flat angle on the eaves facing Poststrasse and with the gable side facing the Auestrasse, which bends here, the half-timbered building made of three different components. The three-zone middle and oldest part, built as a barn, was built as a frame construction with two-storey, intermediate frame work that is mortised into profiled long bars. The profiles of the lateral transoms are continued over the structural stand. An inscription in the long bar of the central zone dates the building: "Wilhelm Feisel and Eltrautha, his married housewife, built this Scheur in the year of Christ in 1775 for the 13th May master carpenter Daviet Schmit von Engelbach". On the upper floor, the structure from the time of construction on the corner and collar posts is stiffened by man figures made of steep struts with head angle timbers and partially opposing footbands. The half-timbered residential section on the right was also built as a structural framework. The profile of the long bars continues over the structural stand notched at the lower ends. The simply locked half-timbered structure is stiffened on the ground floor by storey-high struts, on the upper floor by means of man figures with widely spread struts. The following inscription can be found in the two long bars: "With divine assistance, Jacob Specht built Kiefermeister and his wife Anna Maria through the carpenter Henrich Wirthaus in the year 1800". To the left of the oldest component, a two-storey business section with a massive ground floor and upper floor in structural framework was built at the beginning of the 20th century. 1800 79206
 
Two-storey half-timbered house Dodenau, Poststraße 4
hall: 1, parcel: 144
Two-storey half-timbered house at the intersection of Poststrasse and Auestrasse, which is built on an acute-angled plot and therefore defines the street space from three sides. While the ground floor on the eaves side facing Auestrasse has been massively renewed, the gable facade facing the intersection shows symmetrically constructed half-timbering from the first half of the 18th century, floor-by-floor with overhangs. The double overhanging gable closes off a gable roof. The entablature zones are accentuated by filling boards with dew bars, in the gable also scaled bands, and profiled thresholds. Wide-spread struts with head angle timbers, sometimes also opposing footbands, reinforce the framework structure on the corner and collar posts. 1st half of the 19th century 79207
 
A house Dodenau, Ringstraße 14
hallway: 3, parcel: 48
Large, eaves-standing single house with a younger stable and barn extension on the right side. The simply locked half-timbering of the upper floor rises above a plastered ground floor. The ground floor frame has a long inscription: "Johann Jost Rick and Efa Elisabeta his house wife trusted God and this house was built by carpenter true Leonhart Bäcker von Battenberg on September 4th, 1809. The house is mine and yet not mine, whoever comes after me would also be like that. Give glory to our God What God allows us to grow on earth that should be combined here. " Grooved beam heads and rounded filler wood as well as a carved threshold lie above. 1809 79209
 
Dodenau, Ringstrasse 2,
hallway: 3, parcel: 84
Structural framework construction built over a flat base with two-storey intermediate framework, which is pegged into long bars of different heights and thus indicating the height of the storeys. Widely spread struts, and in some cases ankle bands, stiffen the structural framework. An interruption of the pedestal on the gable side in the right half as well as two long bars shortly above one another indicate a former gate entrance. The former longitudinal house was built in the first half of the 18th century. 1st half of the 18th century 79208
 
Barn of the Rößmühle Dodenau, Rößmühle
hallway: 5, parcel: 14
The plant, which was first built as a paper mill and then used as a grinding, oil and cutting mill, has been shut down since 1936. All buildings are made of half-timbered structures on different bases and document a system that has grown over time and the size of the company. The scope of the monument includes the two-storey residential and mill building, a small outbuilding and the large-volume, three-zone, two-storey half-timbered barn on a flat stone base, which is enclosed by a gable roof Long bars have been built. The long bolt is above the central barn door on the eaves side, corresponding to the clearance height for wagons, higher than the others. The long bar on the gable side bears the following inscription: "Protect the goods given, let us the gifts flourish: Let precious time and storms be away from ours. Prevent food and hunger and give our daily bread". On the eaves side in the long bar left of the barn door, the builder and the construction date are named: “By Gottes Hülff Built by Johannes Schneider and Anna Maria Married the 28th May 1799”, to the right of the gate the master carpenter: “Master carpenter true Johann Christian Spieß in Elsotr”. The two zones on the side of the gate and on the gable side are particularly emphasized on the ground floor with a round bar profile frame. The carved short stands above the gate are also remarkable. 1799 79213
 
graveyard Dodenau, Weststraße
corridor: 3, parcel: 149/1
Only after 1831 was a new cemetery established northwest of the village. Several red sandstone tombstones have been preserved from the second half of the 19th century. Noteworthy is a tomb from 1916 for the Reitz couple, which is decorated with a relief of an angel. For whom the eye-catching crypt was built in neoclassical style is unknown today. To the right of the cemetery entrance, a slightly uphill path with three steps leads to a memorial for those who died in the First World War. An inscription plaque is embedded in the middle of a stepped base made of ashlar: “1914 + 1918 Lord receives all who fall and directs them to all who are down. PS 145 V.14 1930 + 1945 ". Above this, a relief of a kneeling soldier with a sword is arranged in a wall. The monument is rounded off by a triangular gable made of ashlar, which is crowned by a cross. from 1831 79210

Residential and farm buildings Frohnhausen, Am Dorfbrunnen 1
hall: 17, parcel: 35
The large-volume residential and farm building acts as a space-enclosing bar of a large courtyard facing the street Am Dorfbrunnen. The elongated rear of the two-storey half-timbered building on a high quarry stone base visually shapes the area of ​​the square-like confluence of the street Am Roth into the street Am Dorfbrunnen. The left, older component from the middle of the 18th century was erected in a column construction, the floors are divided by long bars. The dense framework of timber, some of which is large, is stiffened by almost storey-high struts with footbands on corner and collar posts. In the middle of the building, an original gate passage was closed in the late 19th century with a timber-framed construction, which visually interrupts the otherwise regular structure of the facade. Also in the late 19th century, the building block that closed off the courtyard to the west was erected. The single-storey half-timbered building rises on a ground floor made of brickwork with segmented arched windows with surrounding beads made of shaped bricks. The dense structure is stiffened by almost storey-high struts with footbands and decorated with angle pieces of wood in the window parapets. Mid 18th century 79217
 
Hofreite Frohnhausen, Am Dorfbrunnen 2
hallway: 15, parcel: 4/4
Large courtyard closed on three sides with a large courtyard facing the street. The two-storey, timber-framed half-timbered house rises above a flat, plastered base and is accessed in the middle of the eaves side via an open staircase that has now been built over. On the ground floor, the building, which was originally constructed as a single house, was rebuilt several times in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The upper floor, which rises above a wide entablature zone with grooved beam heads, rounded filler boards and a profiled threshold with a slight overhang, still shows the dense half-timbered structure of the construction period in the middle of the 18th century with its male figures on corner and collar posts.

In the early 20th century, the building was extended to the rear parallel to the first and connected to the stable and barn buildings built at the same time, made of simple structural half-timbering.

House of a courtyard Frohnhausen, Am Dorfbrunnen 6
hallway: 15, parcel: 2/1
Two-storey half-timbered house on a flat stone plinth, built in 1789 as a detached house on a large courtyard. The timber-framed half-timbered house facing the street shows a dense, building-time framework with large corner posts, which are stiffened with man figures like the collar posts. The storeys are divided by a wide entablature zone with a slight overhang and an elaborately profiled upper storey threshold, the profile of which is taken up by the beam heads. By interlocking the ceiling beams in the frame and threshold, filler wood could be dispensed with. The house also shows an abundance of different decorative shapes. For example, the corner posts on the ground floor are carved with ship throats and six stars, and on the upper floor they have been provided with dew bands. The middle collar stand on the upper floor of the gable side is carved with flower tendrils that end in a large six-pointed star at the junction between the stands and struts of the man figure. The upper end of the building forms a gable roof over double-cantilevered half-timbered gables. Inscription on the ground floor: "If you want to build your apartment on streets and alleys, you shouldn't be mistaken when people talk a lot that doesn't matter, because it only turns into scorn and envy, if you want to turn to everything, has to fight back and forth, because the reproaches and lies still want to come to an end. When the Neith burns like fire, the wood was perhaps not expensive in the world, 1789 ". In addition to the residential building, integral components of the Hofreite are a rear half-timbered barn from the 19th century and a half-timbered shed on an almost storey-high rubble stone base. 1789 79219

Location
hallway: 15, parcel: 58/1
The village of Frohnhausen is mentioned for the first time in 1108 as a property of the Archbishops of Mainz, but it was probably built in the 10th century at the latest. Together with Ober-Asphe, Mainz had acquired the village from the Lords of Klingenberg from the Aschaffenburg monastery. The initiative to build the church in the 12th century is attributed to the nuns of the Disibodenberg monastery on the Nahe; a Benedictine convent never existed in Frohnhausen itself. In 1238 it belonged to Cent Asphe, which was in landgrave hands and was only later added to the Battenberg office by the Wetter monastery. The court was given to the Lords of Diedenhausen, later to those of Hohenfels, those of Viermünden and finally to the von Dersch, who died out in 1717. Until the Reformation the church belonged to the Kesterburg court seat. Patronage was with the von Dersch family.

After severe damage during the Thirty Years' War, it was transformed into a sermon church by demolishing the south side aisle, the west part of the nave and perhaps a tower, and shortly after 1700 a light wooden vault was installed in the central nave. Renovations in 1964 (sacristy breakthrough, removal of galleries) and 1976 to 1980 (interior painting), most recently renewal of the external plaster. The only partially walled churchyard is deep and conspicuous on the southern edge of the village. It should have been originally fortified. Originally three-aisled, vaulted quarry stone basilica in a bound system, with a choir square adjoining the central nave without a transept. The building has largely been preserved, only the south aisle has been demolished, the walled-up arcade arches are visible in the interior. In the north aisle there is a partly very irregular barrel vault with stitch caps, which ends in box templates on the outer wall. In the main nave, the former groin vault rests on wide wall shields that are pulled down from the pillars, the belt arches on box templates (cf. Bromskirchen); now a plastered wooden vault. Fighters are missing both in the arcades and in the templates in the main nave. The quarry stone vault of the somewhat recessed and lower choir rests on the west side on square templates set in the corners, which are canted at about half the height. The Romanesque arched windows are set high under the wall shields in the nave and choir. The former sacristy ("Gerberkammer") on the north side of the choir is presumably Gothic in core; Spout of a piscina outside in the east wall. In the post-Reformation, a western tower was possibly demolished and the western ship's yoke shortened to create a substructure for the square, slated roof turret with an octagonal pointed hood. Two windows lying one above the other and a rectangular, walled-up door opening in the south wall of the east yoke point to an existing gallery with access presumably via a staircase from the outside, which could only have been created after the side aisle was demolished. The former sacristy to the choir was opened in a large, to the side aisle in a narrower arch; Flat ceiling. The south window of the choir was enlarged with an interior division. Mainly in gray values ​​of the room setting in heavy forms of the Baroque by the "Frohnhausen Master" around 1730. These include belt and triumphal arches with templates with three-dimensional diamond block painting in sometimes bizarre forms; Ridges in the choir, which border a yellow sun symbol as a painted keystone; Ribbons imitating ribs in the central nave vault; Ornamental tendril paintings and simple bandwork framing the windows; Angels over the walled up portal in the south wall; painted consecration crosses on the south wall of the choir. The remaining support members are painted with cuboids. In the roof turret there is a bell with a crucifixion relief and a German inscription, 14th century. Pillar-like baptismal font with a base and an octagonal shaft extending into a square, the basin with a sweeping profile, inscribed "MVXII" (1512), probably made from a holy water font in the 17th century. Heavy, timbered substructure for the west gallery and the roof turret. Polygonal pulpit cage with fine, twisted corner columns, round arches coupled in pairs under the panels of the walls, 17th century. The altar window by Erhard Jakobus Klonck with the stoning of Stephen from the 1950s. Organ from 1966. In the churchyard southeast of the church numerous tombstones made of wood and iron, mostly from the 19th century.

Protestant church Laisa, Kirchstrasse 1,
hallway: 10, parcel: 38
The early mention of the village in 778 on the occasion of the battle between Franconia and Saxony suggests that a church should be founded in or after this time (see Allendorf-Battenfeld). So far there are no sources, excavations or building traces. The construction time of the (predecessor) church is around 1150. An older core in the existing structure is not excluded, but not recognizable. A papal letter of indulgence from 1296 for building work could be related to the construction of today's church. The establishment of a court by the Archdiocese of Mainz in 1291 could have made such a new building necessary. The church belonged to the deanery of Battenfeld, the patronage was held by the Lords of Biedenfeld as a fiefdom of the Counts of Solms. 1526 Introduction of the Lutheran Reformation, the church reformed between 1606 and 1624. New construction of the choir and repairs, especially the corners of the ship, in 1723, carried out with inscriptions by master masons Johannes Schmal from Laisa and Hermann Mandel from Holzhausen. Changes to the west wall and the windows possibly around 1800. The village fire of July 26-27, 1868 was one of the few buildings that survived the village almost unscathed. During the renovation in 1966/67, among other things, the western extension was rebuilt and the galleries in the interior were removed.

Due to the reconstruction of the village with a right-angled street system after the fire of 1868, the church is now relatively free in the northeastern part of the village, without any closely surrounding buildings. The very old judicial linden tree immediately southwest of the church, which was badly damaged by the fire, is part of the ensemble , but it is driven out every year. Three-aisled, three-bay hall church made of quarry stone without a west tower with an adjoining three-sided choir. The ship is hardly longer than it is wide, the exterior is simple and has no buttresses. The side aisles open out in the east in flat, high round arched niches recessed from the thickness of the wall. Two pairs of massive round pillars, which are closed off by simple capital slabs made of bevels and platelets, bear ridged vaults of irregular domed structure that merge into one another without transverse arches. The vaults rest on the side walls on wide transoms with the profile of the pillar capital plates, to the east - as an extension of dividing arches, as it were - on box templates also with transom plates, on the west wall they run up against the wall without spiers. The building, which appears crude and clumsy in its execution, belongs conceptually and in its spatial effect to a group of hall churches in the South Westphalian-North Hessian area from the second half of the 13th century to around 1300: Hallenberg, Meschede-Eversberg, Schmallenberg-Wormbach (all Hochsauerlandkreis), Breidenbach (Kr. Marburg-Biedenkopf) and Battenberg, but with single-hip vaults in the aisles. The somewhat stilted three-sided choir replaces an excavated predecessor with a square floor plan (see Battenberg). By continuing the walls upwards, it is vaulted with a kind of ridge half-dome, but the triumphal arch of the previous building remained as a connection. Associated with this is a painting of the interior that was uncovered in 1972, probably by the “Frohnhäuser Meister”: In the choir on the south-east wall Adam and Eve on the tree with a snake, supplemented by the hare, unicorn and crane with the only partially preserved saying: “This is paradise with its beautiful ones / […] God has set the very first couple / Oh Adam will soon have it with Eve […] / As God’s image once […] / What is then unstoppable […] / In another paradise where Christ […] ”. The complete painting imitated the paradise of Christ. In the vault a sun, stars and two fanfares blowing angels with the word "Peace" and the saying: "In the year after the birth of Christ to the one after seven / and the seventeen hundred and twenty years and has written / is this God's house in peace so gezirt / then all the MARS stirs the rubble / construction master Johannes Schmal zu Leysen [and] Hermann Mandel von Holsz Hausen ”. Triumphal arch painted in two arches from perspective blocks, frames of the choir windows and windows in the ship, partly imaginative, partly architecturally with pillars, partly with sayings above: "Sworn to the Eydt of the church / Think o man otherwise bistu lost / 1728". It is possible that the window frames are no longer preserved from the time it was built. The pre-Reformation furnishings could include the altar plate, as well as the crucifix of the altar from the last third of the 15th century and bells from 1505 and 1523. The wooden pulpit with inscriptions dating from 1610 and the sandstone baptismal font from 1666 are post-Reformation elements The organ was started by Gabriel Irle in 1761 and continued by his son Johann Heinrich Irle, and was finally completed in 1764 by an unknown master. The youngest historical bell comes from Johann Melchior Derk in Münchhausen, 1786.

Former bakery Laisa, Kirchstraße 16
hall: 10, parcel: 76
In 1870, the municipality of Laisa had a two-storey bakery built opposite the church on the newly laid out Kirchstrasse. The massive, today plastered ground floor, which formerly housed the oven, is accessed via the eaves side and has sandstone-framed, irregularly distributed openings. The half-timbered upper floor with its simple, dense half-timbered structure with steep storey-high struts on the corner posts is accessed via an elaborately designed door in the gable end. In front of the door, covering an outside staircase, rises a canopy resting on profiled wooden columns. The public building, which marks the confluence of Schloßstraße and Kirchstraße on a triangular plot, not only forms an optical unit with the church, but also indicates the beginning of the regular redevelopment after 1868 in urban planning terms. around 1870 79233
 
Half-timbered house Laisa, Schulstraße 33
hallway: 10, parcel: 82
Two-story, gable-independent half-timbered house built after the fire in 1868. The single house, slated to the street, rises above a flat, plastered base and shows a simple, floor-by-floor structural framework, which is stiffened by storey-high struts at the corner and collar posts. Access is in the middle of the eaves side via a single flight of stairs, which was provided with a timber-framed vestibule in the 20th century. The stable area in the rear area is now partly covered by a barn built in the 20th century. 1868 79235
 
Complete system of the historic town center Laisa, complete system of the historic town center In the middle of the 19th century, the village of Laisa still had the shape of a clustered village that had gradually grown over the course of 1000 years. To the west of the church, the village grew, the ground plan of which was formed from a multitude of curved alleys with crossings that were partially expanded like a square and narrow access walkways. Loosely built, irregularly cut courtyards with single houses, hooked courtyards or littered buildings shaped the townscape until 1868. On July 26th, 1868, the place Laisa burned down almost completely. 142 houses were destroyed by flames, only 20 buildings on the outskirts of the village survived the big fire. Under the leadership of the teacher Schmidt, who was also a land surveyor in addition to his teaching activities, a completely new development plan for the village was drawn up in 1868. The established system of irregular streets and paths, which formed building blocks of various sizes and shapes, was completely redesigned except for a small area around the church. In the period that followed, four parallel axes (Hainstrasse, Brunnenstrasse, Schloßstrasse, Schulstrasse) were to cut through the village west of the church. These straight routes were completed at both ends by a crossing road and additionally connected with two branch paths in the center of the village. Initially, only the area up to the first crossing was planned for re-parceling, but in the following decades the axes were extended to today's street Am Borngarten and parceled out. In the last few decades the village has grown far to the north, west and south beyond its historical borders and only shows its historically grown outskirts to the east of the church. The rectangular parcels of almost the same size, which were identified after 1868, were initially built on with single houses with gable ends, almost all of which were expanded into hooked courtyards in the course of the following decades with barns connecting at right angles to the courtyards at the rear. The remaining original buildings all show a constructive framework with storey-high struts and central, courtyard-side access. The younger buildings, erected between 1910 and 1945, have massive ground floors and half-timbered upper floors. Only after 1945 no more half-timbering was built.
