Dietesheim is now a district of the Hessian city of Mühlheim am Main . The place is south of the Main between Mühlheim and Hanau-Steinheim , in the south lies the district of Mühlheim- Lämmerspiel .
history
Late Paleolithic site in Dietesheim
On the basis of reading finds , in particular stone tools , in the area of an ever-expanding basalt quarry , Gerhard Bosinski initiated an archaeological investigation in autumn 1976 . Around 320 artefacts were found in a backfill that was only 1 m² in size and 60 cm deep . Based on this result, excavations in 1977, 1978 and 1980 on behalf of the State Office for Monument Preservation Hesse were extended to a larger area.
middle Ages
The name Dietesheim probably goes back to the personal name Thiudin or Theotini . The ending -heim suggests that it was founded in Franconian times. Other historical names from the tradition are Ditinesheim (1013) and Diedeßheim (1532).
King Heinrich II exchanged his property in Dietesheim with the Lorsch monastery in 1013 .
Dietesheim belonged to Dietesheimmark , a market cooperative , until 1819 . From 1372, its residents had castle rights in Frankfurt with all the resulting rights and obligations: In times of war they were allowed to seek refuge in the fortified city, in return they had to maintain ten rods of the city moat.
Dietesheim was in the office of Steinheim , which initially belonged to the Lords of Eppstein and from 1371 as a pledge, half each to the Counts of Katzenelnbogen and the Lords of Hanau . In 1393 the pledge came to the Lords of Kronberg .
Modern times
In 1425 Gottfried von Eppstein sold the office to the Electorate of Mainz . In the years 1631–1634, during the Thirty Years' War , King Gustav II Adolf confiscated the office as spoils of war and used it to equip Count Heinrich Ludwig von Hanau-Münzenberg and Jakob Johann von Hanau-Münzenberg, who were allied with him . Since both counts died soon and the Peace of Westphalia was based on the normal year 1624, Dietesheim came back to Kurmainz. The general agricultural depression fallen victim to small village Meielsheim became a deserted village . Most of its residents moved to the surrounding areas such as Mühlheim, Dietesheim, Lämmerspiel or Bürgel.
After the secularization of the Electorate of Mainz, Dietesheim fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1803 .
On April 1, 1939 Dietesheim was incorporated into Mühlheim .

The current Evangelical Church of the Evangelical Peace Community Mühlheim am Main with Dietesheim, which is located in the old town center of Dietesheim, was originally the Church of the Catholics.

Recreation and leisure
The meadow landscape on the Main and a well-developed cycle path leading along the southern bank of the Main from Frankfurt to Aschaffenburg are ideal for recreation and leisure activities .
A well-known and popular excursion destination in Dietesheim are the former stone quarries , which today form a local recreation area that is under nature protection. Basalt was mined here on 150 hectares until 1982 . In addition to the quarries, there was a concrete block and gravel works, an asphalt mixing plant and, since the early 1960s, accommodation for the then so-called guest workers. This was operated by the Mitteldeutsche Hartstein-Industrie (short: MHI) and Vogelsberger Basalt. The MHI undertook to give the site to the city of Mühlheim free of charge. Bizarre rock formations can be seen in various quarries .
After the basalt mining stopped, the groundwater , which was previously pumped out, formed an impressive lake landscape totaling more than 61 hectares with water that shimmered deep blue in parts.
Today there are a total of eleven lakes on the site of the former quarries. In addition to the largest lakes, the Vogelsberger See and the Oberwaldsee , which are connected to each other, there are other smaller lakes: Frankfurter See , Ristersee , Bellerbornsee , Schüsslersee , Betzensee and Grüner See , where a restaurant is located. To recultivate the area, around 120,000 trees, mostly oaks and beeches , as well as almost 7,000 shrubs of all kinds were planted at Vogelsberger See and Oberwaldsee , which since the cessation of basalt mining have developed into an interesting forest and lake landscape with a diverse flora and fauna . Plants and animals that have become rare have found a new habitat here. Since the spring of 2008, the quarries have also become the new home of a population of around 2,000 wall lizards, which had to give way to a building area in neighboring Hanau, and was relocated to the quarries in a complex operation.
Signposted paths lead visitors through the recreation area. Various viewing platforms, footbridges and shelters as well as a bridge are part of the hiking trails . There are also extensive riding trails around the quarries.
Camping, storage, swimming and boating are strictly prohibited. Violations are punished by the security service, which is usually present. A barbecue area for private parties is available.
On the edge of the quarries there are several club houses, on the grounds of which various club celebrations and festivals are held, mostly in the warm months. The Hansteinweiher is located between the Green Lake and the railway line, which was created by the removal of gravel . The pond is leased by a fishing club .
Dietesheim landmark
The Wendelinus Chapel in Dietesheim was first mentioned in a document in 1450. The basalt stone building with a wooden porch has been repeatedly restored and was last consecrated in 1987.
Inside there is a statue of St. Wendelinus. The Anna Selbdritt altar that originally stood there is now in the Dietesheim parish church of St. Sebastian.
Economy and Infrastructure
Traditional industries
- Basalt mining and processing of basalt
- Gravel mining
- Leather craft
- Cigar making
- Main fishing
Until industrialization, Dietesheim, like many other villages on the Main, was shaped by Main fishing. After the purchase of several properties on the Lower Main by the Electorate of Mainz , the "Schiffer- und Fischerzunft" was founded in 1425, which later became its own fishermen's guild. Almost all long-established families in Dietesheim were more or less associated with fishing. Thanks to its location near the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt , the Dietesheim fishermen also supplied the market there. Originally the fish were transported by boat , later - after the construction of the railway - with this. However, you had to make the way from Dietesheim to the train station in Offenbach on foot, which was then mostly a matter for women. Many of the fishermen's wives brought the living goods into the households of the Jewish families in Frankfurt, where they were then gutted in the house. In the course of economic development, the economic focus shifted more and more to other areas, such as basalt mining and other things, as described above.
traffic
The cities of Frankfurt am Main , Offenbach am Main and Hanau are in the immediate vicinity .
The federal road 43 runs through Mühlheim and Dietesheim . It is mostly two-lane in two different routes as a one-way street through both districts.
Mühlheim-Dietesheim station is a category 5 stop on the Südmainische S-Bahn. It was put into operation together with the Offenbach City Tunnel on May 28, 1995 for the opening of the S-Bahn line from Offenbach to Hanau for the start of the Rhein-Main transport association. The stop has a central platform.
East of the stop, the two tracks combine to form one track in the direction of Hanau-Steinheim. To the west, the S-Bahn line is double-tracked in the direction of Mühlheim Bahnhof , after the Mühlheim stop it becomes single-track again.
Only the S-Bahn lines S8 and S9 (Wiesbaden-Hanau) via Offenbach and Frankfurt with various connection options stop at the two platforms.
education
There is a primary school in Dietesheim, the Geschwister-Scholl School. Until the end of the 2007/2008 school year, the Johann-Hinrich-Wichern School (School for Learning Assistance) existed as a special school. A daycare center has been in the building since 2012.
