history

Early and ancient times

The stone chamber grave of Lohra , which was discovered in 1931 and can be assigned to the end of the Neolithic Age , testifies to the early settlement of the area . The men, women and children buried here, who must have numbered around 20 people, were surprisingly cremated. In addition, unlike the other stone chamber graves in Hesse, the dead were given plenty of ceramics and other everyday objects with them for their journey to the afterlife. Handle beakers (which, due to their uniqueness, have also found their way into the technical language of archeology as “Lohra beakers” ), cups, bowls, a serpentine ax, a small stone ax as well as a retouched slate blade and pieces of bronze sheet metal were included in the find. Some finds have been kept in the Hessian State Museum in Kassel since 1931 .

At Altenvers remains of a Germanic settlement from the late Roman Empire were found, in which metal was probably processed. Based on the finds, the inhabitants of the settlement can be assigned to the Elbe-Germanic cultural area with some certainty .

Early middle ages

Lohra is mentioned for the first time in an entry in the register of goods of the Fulda Abbey in the middle of the 8th century and a little later in the donation book of the Lorsch Monastery as loco lare :

Lohras is first mentioned in Codex Eberhardi

“Gerbrechti in Larere. Regnante itaque Karolo piissimo rege, presidentque huic loco Gundelando, primo abbate tradiderunt ad Lauresham St. Nazario, Castwich et Gerbrecht, filius eius res suas in pago Logenehehe in villis Larere marca (et in Duda marca) scilicet Campos, Prata, aquas aquarumque decursus. 769, Dec. 1. Karlus, Rex, Gundelando, Abbas. "

The German translation is:

“Gerbrechts (property) in Lohra. Under the reign of Charles, the pious king, and under the direction of the first abbot of this monastery, Gundeland, Kastwich and his son Gerbrecht donated their property to Lorsch, St. Nazarius, in the Lahngau, in the towns of Lohra (and in the Duda Mark) , namely fields, meadows, forests, bodies of water and watercourses. 769, December 1. Karl , König, Gundeland, Abt. "

The name Lare can be assigned to the pre-Franconian language class and possibly means "place on the water". It is not definitively certain which ethnic groups settled in Lohra before the Frankish conquest ; but it was probably Ubier (up to approx. 10 BC) and then Chatten .

In the 8th / 9th Century seems Lohra court facility ( "Malstatt") of the Frankish Gaugrafschaft pagus lare to have been (Gau Lohra). The area of ​​the Gaugrafschaft extended into the Amöneburg Basin and the Vogelsberg and seems to have roughly occupied the area of ​​the later Lahn - Ohm County, from which the County of Ruchesloh emerged . The judicial center of this district was probably the parcel called Retschloh near Oberweimar , where jurisdiction was exercised, and the religious center was the Martinskirche in Oberweimar.

middle Ages

Ev. Church in the Lohra district

Today's late Romanesque church was built around 1238 . In June 2002, the Lohra coin treasure was found on the north-western corner of the defensive wall of the church . It comprises 483 high medieval silver coins and was probably deposited there in the second half of the 13th century.

In the county of Ruchesloh , which came to the Archbishopric of Mainz in 1237 , Lohra was the center of a court ( Courts Lohr ), which roughly comprised the Verser Grund and parts of today's Fronhausen community . According to all usable contemporary documents, the county of Ruchesloh was made up of the cents in the areas around Amöneburg , Buseck , Ebsdorf , Gladenbach , Homberg (Ohm) , Kirchberg (Lahn) , Kirtorf , Lohra, Londorf , Merlau and Reizberg (around Niederweimar).

The inner hedge ( Mittelhessische Landheegen / Landwehr ) laid out by Landgrave Heinrich I between 1297 and 1307 followed the southern border of the Lohra court as far as the Lahn. Between 1359 and 1374, Hesse also built the outdoor hedge . These border guards were set up to protect against military attacks by the Counts of Nassau on Hessian territory.

In 1366 the Count of Nassau had Lohra burned down on a campaign against the Hessian Landgrave . Part of the village population fled into the woods. The richest and most respected villagers were abducted by the Nassauers along with all of their cattle, only to be released for a large ransom.

After the death of Philip the Magnanimous in 1567, the Landgraviate was divided among his sons and Lohra fell to Hessen-Marburg .

The so-called Lohr dishes in the late Middle Ages

When Swedish troops marched through Hesse during the Thirty Years' War , hard times began for the villages of today's municipality. Many residents fled to Marburg and found refuge in the Marburg Landgrave Castle, while their villages were plundered by mercenaries . When the Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years' War in 1648 and the Hessian War also came to an end, Lohra and the northern part of Hesse-Marburg became part of Hesse-Kassel .

At Lohra, on the border with Mornshausen, there was a moated castle , probably a tower hill castle (Motte), Offenhausen Castle .

Modern times

At the time of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 and the Napoleonic epoch, Lohra belonged first to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , then from 1806 to 1813 to the short-lived Kingdom of Westphalia (in which it was the administrative seat of the canton of Lohra ), and after its end again to Hessen-Kassel. With the fall of the Napoleonic Empire , however, the rise of Prussia to a hegemonic power in Germany began. In the German war of 1866 was Kurhessen , and the villages of the municipality Lohra, annexed by Prussia and with the also incorporated Nassau to the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau converted.

Even before the First World War , Lohra began to transform itself from an agricultural community to a workers' community, a process that continued between the two great wars. The stony arable soils no longer gave sufficient yield to feed the steadily growing population, the residents of the Lohra villages had to look for further gainful employment. Many women found work in the Rinn & Cloos cigar factory, which opened a branch in Lohra in 1916 and 1929 respectively. During the turmoil of the Second World War , the Dammer Bahnhof was the target of an Allied air raid on September 12, 1944 , which killed 17 people. Bombs also fell over Lohra, but did no major damage. On the afternoon of March 28, 1945, US troops advanced through what is now the municipality in the direction of Marburg . Due to the large number of expellees from the eastern German territories , the population increased excessively in 1946; the refugees initially stayed with local residents due to a lack of living space.

Kath. Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Lohra

In the 1950s, after the chaos of war, normality gradually began to return to normal. With the 1200th anniversary in 1952, one of the first large folk festivals in the Marburg area after the Second World War was celebrated.

Since the territorial reforms of 1972 and 1974, the formerly independent municipalities of Lohra, Damm, Nanz-Willershausen, Rodenhausen, Reimershausen, Kirchvers, Altenvers, Weipoltshausen, Rollshausen and Seelbach have formed today's large municipality of Lohra with its administrative headquarters in the Lohra district of the same name. The formation of the large community is thus to be seen as the preliminary climax of a historical process that united the historically associated places in the south-western corner of the Marburg region on an administrative level.

In 2002 Lohra celebrated the 1250th anniversary of its first mention with a week of festivities.

On May 25, 2009, the village received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government .

Incorporations

Lohra district in the Salzbödetal

For a long time it was not a matter of course that the large municipality of Lohra exists today as a local authority . In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the villages of Vers and Mittlau initially preferred the formation of their own community, which was to be given the name "Verstal". The rejection of this suggestion by the Hessian state government and the decision by Rodenhausen to join the Lohra community now prompted the other towns to join the new community. Attempts by the municipality of Kichvers to join the neighboring municipality of Biebertal failed because their willingness to accept was low and the historical connection with Lohra was much greater anyway. So on December 31, 1971, the communities of Damm, Nanz-Willershausen and Rodenhausen were incorporated. Reimershausen was added on July 1, 1972. Altenvers, Kirchvers, Rollshausen, Seelbach and Weipoltshausen followed by state law on July 1, 1974.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Lohra was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1821

With an edict of June 29, 1821, administration and justice were separated in Kurhessen. Now judicial offices were responsible for the first instance jurisdiction, the administration was taken over by the districts. The Marburg district was responsible for the administration and the Fronhausen Justice Office was the court of first instance responsible for Lohra. The Supreme Court was the Higher Appeal Court in Kassel . The higher court of Marburg was subordinate to the province of Upper Hesse. It was the second instance for the judicial offices.

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia, the Rauschenberg Justice Office became the Royal Prussian District Court of Fronhausen in 1867 . In June 1867, a royal ordinance was issued that reorganized the court system in the areas that belonged to the former Electorate of Hesse. The previous judicial authorities were to be repealed and replaced by local courts in the first, district courts in the second and an appeal court in the third instance. In the course of this, on September 1, 1867, the previous judicial office was renamed the District Court of Fronhausen. The courts of the higher authorities were the Marburg District Court and the Kassel Court of Appeal .

With effect from October 1, 1902, Rodenhausen , Seelbach , Rollshausen and Lohra were separated from the district of the District Court of Fronhausen and added to the District Court of Gladenbach .

In 1948, the communities of Lohra, Rodenhausen, Rollshausen and Seelbach, which had previously belonged to the district court district of Gladenbach, were added to the district court district of Marburg .

In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Marburg Regional Court , the Frankfurt am Main Higher Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

Partnerships

The Lohra community maintains partnership relationships with:

coat of arms

In August 1951, the municipality of Lohra was granted the right to use a coat of arms by the Hessian State Ministry. The graphic design was done in 1951 by the heraldist Ottfried Neubecker .

Coat of arms of Froschhausen
 Blazon : "Divided by gold and blue, above a blue, red-tongued and red-armored lion, sprinkled with five blue shingles, growing out of the division, below a continuous golden St. Andrew's cross angled by twelve golden crosses."
Justification for the coat of arms: The lion stands for the Counts of Solms , the St. Andrew's Cross, with a different shielding, for the Lords of Merenberg . The twelve golden crosses symbolize the twelve villages of the municipality. - The municipality received the coat of arms in 1952 in the course of the 1200th anniversary celebration.

Culture

Local nicknames

In the course of time, nicknames have developed for the individual localities within the area of ​​the greater municipality. As a rule, one tells one another several, divergent stories that explain the village nicknames . The origin of the neck names is often no longer known.

  • Altenvers → cuckoos
  • Dam → sparrows ( sparrow )
  • Etzelmühle → water fowl ( Woasserhuiher )
  • Kirchvers → Lubricant Cheese Delicious ( Lubricant Cheese Field )
  • Lohra → ravens ( Roawe )
  • Nanzhausen → Chickens ( Huiher )
  • Reimershausen → Wiesenschnarcher ( Wisseschnoarcher )
  • Rodenhausen → European robin ( Ruutbresterche )
  • Rollshausen → Hoopoes ( Wirrehepch )
  • Seelbach → donkey
  • Weipoltshausen → bone scraper ( Knocheschoawer )
  • Willershausen → Bear paws ( Bärndapch )

dialect

Variants of Upper Hesse are spoken in the localities of the large community, but the details differ from village to village. The parishes Lohra (with Damm and Nanz-Willershausen), Altenvers (with Reimershausen, Rollshausen and Seelbach) and Kirchvers (with Rodenhausen and Weipoltshausen) can be recorded as linguistic units , in which mostly the same dialect is spoken.

Culinary specialties

Typical Lohra dishes come from the simple Hessian cuisine , but are rarely prepared these days. Dishes such as carrot vegetables ( Miehrngemuis ), Himmel und Erde ( Himmel ean Eard ) or Struppch were very often on the menu of the villagers in earlier times. The traditional sausage types Stracke and Rote (Ruure Worscht) were produced for house slaughter .

Home song

On the occasion of the 1200 year celebration in 1952 for the first mention of the village in 752, the first major folk festival in the Marburg area after the Second World War, the home song Lohra über'm Wiesengrund was composed by Reinhard Ide. The text is from Wilhelm Ide:

1. Dark mountains, light corridors, forest fringes glistened with brook!
On the golden traces of childhood I scream like in a dream:
I see bright gables, firmly attached and healthy,
Power beams from fathers days - Lohra above the meadow.
2. A thousand years have passed, years full of pleasure and sorrow.
A thousand years are seconds before the Lord of Eternity.
Since the plow first plowed furrows through the brown land,
he held his father's hand over our valley in blessing.
3. Home Church, your bells follow me from place to place.
For centuries, like today, it has been a reminder like a father's word.
Strange magical songs lure you into the world.
Again and again the home bell rings.
4. Ready for protection like mother's hands, the linden tree lifts its branches.
Driving happiness comes to an end quickly, at home I'm stuck.
Youth gold on quiet streets, hope green in wide circles.
Your picture should never fade to me - Lohra over the meadow!

Economic structure

The community of Lohra is home to many craft businesses and medium-sized companies. The agriculture is at best exercised with exceptions as a sideline activity and loses more and more of their already low importance for the reward acquisition. In 2006, people from all economic areas of the Lohra community came together to form the so-called Lohra Business Forum 2020 in order to achieve a higher quality of life, an improved infrastructure , more coexistence and networking , and thus to create more promising future prospects for the Lohra community.

Together with the city of Gladenbach and the municipality of Bad Endbach , the municipality maintains the Intercommunal Industrial Park Salzbödetal (IGS) between Lohra and the Gladenbach district of Mornshausen, the construction of which was also financially supported by the State of Hesse . The groundbreaking took place on February 5, 2002.

traffic

Former train station

Bundesstraße 255 runs through the northern municipality between Marburg and Herborn. The Aar-Salzböde Railway between Niederwalgern and Herborn, which runs through the community , has now been shut down.

Since the end of rail traffic, Lohra has been connected to the bus line 383 from Marburg to Bad Endbach every hour (a little more frequently in peak times). The other districts are served from the central Lohra Neue Mitte stop in the Lohra district (mainly school traffic).

communication

Since August 10, 2005 there has been a nationwide unique wireless W- DSL process in Lohra , which also supplies the surrounding communities.

education

There are two kindergartens in Lohra and one each in Kirchvers and Altenvers . The kindergartens in Lohra and Kirchvers are run by the Ev. Kurhessen-Waldeck Church , while the Lohra community is responsible for the Altenvers kindergarten.

The community also has a primary school . Secondary schools such as grammar schools, secondary schools and secondary schools are located in Marburg , Niederwalgern , Gladenbach , Biebertal and Gießen .

Courses of study can be found in the vicinity at the Philipps University of Marburg , the Justus Liebig University of Gießen and the Technical University of Central Hesse (formerly the University of Applied Sciences Gießen-Friedberg) with locations in Friedberg, Gießen and Wetzlar.
