in the north Mainz-Oberstadt , in the north-east Mainz-Weisenau , in the east Mainz-Laubenheim , in the south-east Bodenheim , in the south Mainz-Ebersheim , in the south-west Klein-Winternheim , in the west Mainz-Marienborn and in the north-west Mainz-Bretzenheim .

history

On May 17, 808, Hehhidesheim was first mentioned in writing by the Fulda monastery . Like other “ home ” locations in Rheinhessen, however, it may have arisen earlier.

In the following centuries the name changes several times, via Hehedesheim (1100), Hechesheim (1261), Hexheim (1262), Hechdensheim (1274), Hechisheim (1280), Heckesheim (1303), Hegsheim (1485) and finally in 1650 becomes Hechtsheim out of it. In the Mainz dialect the name is still Hexem .

Until the Franconian era

Since the 4th millennium BC Numerous traces of settlement in the Hechtsheim district indicate that the fertile soil and abundant water supplies here have always encouraged people to settle here. In Roman times several villae rusticae were built, these are scattered individual farms, whose task it was to produce food for the legionary camp and the provincial capital Mogontiacum . Romans and Romanized Celts operated there. In the course of the 5th century, the rural settlement slowly thinned out, because Teutons repeatedly overcame the Roman border fortifications and destroyed the city of Moguntiacum and large parts of the border region. The last years of Roman rule on the Rhine ended around the middle of the 5th century when the power of the Roman central government on the Rhine had finally waned. The people fled their unprotected courtyards and the villae rusticae were abandoned.

At the end of the 5th century the rural areas were not completely deserted, but the landscapes that had flourished during Roman times had suffered great damage. The native Gallo-Roman population had a rather poor existence compared to earlier times. But already in the years around 500 AD, the Hechtsheim area was repopulated by the Franks .

Beginning of medieval settlement in Hechtsheim

Brunnen (1994) by Erwin Mosen . Location: On the Hewwel (Frankenhöhe)

In the Hechtsheim district there are traces of three Franconian burial fields: On the Hechtsheimer Höhe, since then known as the Frankenhöhe, between 1980 and 1983 around 300 graves from around 500 to the second half of the 7th century AD were found Mainz State Archeology under the direction of Dr. Gerd Rupprecht to be excavated.

The oldest documentary mention of Hechtsheim is in a deed of donation to the Fulda monastery from May 17, 808. From Dulcinesheim , a village that was later partially dissolved in Hechtsheim, an even older one from 782 has been donated to the Lorsch monastery. A fountain sculpture by Erwin Mosen on the "Hewwel" (see picture) reminds us that numerous weapons, arrowheads and broken ceramic vessels from Franconian times were also found here. Some 100 years ago some finds came to light from a second cemetery on the corner of Heuerstrasse and Ringstrasse. A third is to be assumed in the area of ​​the St. Pankratiuskirche. The residents of the farms in the immediate vicinity buried their dead in these cemeteries. Only the name Dulcinesheim has survived from a 4th farm in today's municipal area; it was in the south of Hechtsheim. In the course of the Middle Ages, a village developed below the St. Pankratius Church from the two farms opposite each other on the Schinnergraben watercourse, to which the residents of the other two farms, the one below the Frankenhöhe and the one called Dulcinesheim, resettled.

Late Middle Ages and Modern Times

In the course of the Middle Ages, Hechtsheim developed into a village with one of the largest districts in Rheinhessen and was fortified with ramparts and moats. Wine has been grown in Rheinhessen since Roman times; a document dated April 8, 1190 names a wine market in Hechtsheim. Hechtsheim belonged to the possession of the Archdiocese of Mainz, which gave it as a fief ; Through succession in 1420 it passed through various intermediate stations to the Counts of Ysenburg . These introduced the Reformation in Hechtsheim . When the archbishopric returned in 1659, the parish became Catholic again. After Napoleon's law of religious freedom of 1802 , there were gradually Protestant Hechtsheimers again; in 1909 a Protestant parish was founded.

After the Napoleonic period, Hechtsheim came to the Grand Duchy of Hessen-Darmstadt as part of the newly emerging province of Rheinhessen.

In 1969 Hechtsheim was incorporated into the city of Mainz with five other suburbs .

Population development

In 1810 there were 180 houses with 980 inhabitants in Hechtsheim. Since then, the farming village has grown steadily and has mainly participated in the upswing since the 1950s, as demonstrated by the lively development of its industrial area, which is now the largest in Mainz. Hechtsheim had 4666 inhabitants in 1950, 5841 in 1960 and in 1968, in the year before it was incorporated into Mainz, 7579 (data from the city of Mainz's statistics office).

Timeline

  • In 1190, Archbishop Konrad I of Mainz exchanged the wine market in his village of Hechtsheim, along with other income, to the St. Stephen's Foundation in Mainz , and in return received the village of Hochdorf in Thuringia
  • In 1215 the Vogteirecht belonged to the Knights of Bolanden and part of Weisenau as a fief.
  • In 1253 the property was divided into the line of those from Bolanden zu Falkenstein and those from Hohenfels, with the Hohenfels share in Weisenau being sold to the city.
  • In 1313 the villages of Hechtsheim, Weisenau and Vilzbach were fiefdoms owned by the Falkenstein - Munzenberg line of those of Bolanden.
  • In 1418 with Werner von Falkenstein , Archbishop of Trier , the male line became extinct and the estates were inherited by von Eppstein and Count von Solms .
  • In 1420 Hechtsheim and Weisenau were jointly owned by the Counts of Sayn and the Princes of Isenburg-Büdingen .
  • In 1486 the Saynic share was also acquired by Isenburg.
  • In 1559 Count Reinhard von Isenburg was in sole possession of Hechtsheim. As a result, the von Isenburg pledged the places Hechtsheim and Weisenau to the Counts of Schönburg on Wesel .
  • In 1662, Count Johann Karl von Schönburg auf Wesel was put into possession of the entire village of Hechtsheim and the Isenburg part of Weisenau by an imperial decree.
  • January 27, 1658 bought the Mainz cathedral dean Johann von Heppenheim called von Hechtsheim and Weisenau from Count Emanuel Maximilian Wilhelm von Isenburg.
  • On September 20, 1658, the Elector of Mainz Johann Philipp von Schönborn bought Hechtsheim. The Archbishopric of Mainz was finally owned by Hechtsheim until the end of the Electoral State at the end of the 18th century.
  • In 1792/1793 Hechtsheim was included in the siege ring during the siege of Mainz . Imperial and imperial troops were in Hechtsheim.
  • In 1794/95 the French revolutionary army besieged the city of Mainz near Hechtsheim (Mainz lines).
  • In 1797/98, the Left Bank of the Rhine and thus also Hechtsheim were awarded to the French Republic by the Peace of Campo Formio and the consequences of it. The new Donnersberg department (Département du Mont-Tonnerre) was created. Hechtsheim belonged to France until 1814.
  • After the French withdrew in 1814, the entire Rhine-Hessian province was assigned to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . The Grand Duchy became the Republican People's State of Hesse with the dismissal of the incumbent Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig on November 9, 1918 by the Darmstadt Workers 'and Soldiers' Council . Until the end of the war in 1945, Hechtsheim belonged to the People's State of Hesse.
  • In 1929 the incorporation to Mainz failed because of the result of the referendum (593 for, 1169 against) and also because of the vote of the local council (8 against 9). This was followed by reactions from the city, e.g. For example, no more Hechtsheim residents were hired by municipal companies, and the water supply from Mainz came to a standstill. In 1930, a majority of Hechtsheimers approved the incorporation, but this did not take place until 1969.
  • After the Second World War and the renewed reorganization of the region, Hechtsheim came to Rhineland-Palatinate as a municipality in the Mainz district .
  • On June 7, 1969, Hechtsheim was incorporated into the city of Mainz with five other suburbs.

  • Alt Hechtsheim: Ringstrasse

  • Alt Hechtsheim: Zimmermannsgasse (old bricklayer houses)

  • Spring School (former Christian Simultaneous School)

  • Heuerschule (former Catholic denominational school)

Religions

Catholic parish church of St. Pankratius

The Catholic community

The Catholic parish of St. Pankratius in Mainz-Hechtsheim belongs to the diocese of Mainz, dean's office in Mainz-Stadt. It was probably founded in the early Middle Ages. The parish church of St. Pankratius (baroque part from 1752, eastern extension in the neo-Gothic style from 1901) is located above the Hechtsheim town center, right next to the rectory (Bergstrasse 22) and the Catholic youth home. A thorough exterior renovation took place in 1984 and an interior renovation from 1998–1999 including a reconstruction / restoration of the Siemann organ from 1928 and the organ prospectus of the Mainz organ builder Josef Anton Onimus from 1766.

Attached to the church is a municipal cemetery, which is maintained by the business enterprise of the city of Mainz.

In 1978 a Catholic community center was built in what was then the new development area (Georg-Büchner-Strasse).

The evangelical community

The initially small Protestant congregation had a chapel on Schulstrasse, today's Peter-Weyer-Strasse. In 1967 the foundation stone was laid for the new community center, which also includes a kindergarten.

Macedonian Orthodox Church

The Jewish cemetery

On July 10, 1882, the grand ducal district office approved the creation of a cemetery for the Jewish community of Hechtsheim. A Jewish community with its own synagogue has existed since 1842. The cemetery has an area of ​​738 m² and was laid out in Heuerstraße. The last funeral took place in 1938.

coat of arms

  • Hechtsheim coat of arms

Coat of arms today

The coat of arms of Hechtsheim has a blue background, shows three pike in the shape of a star and the Mainz wheel , which rests on top of a tail fin . A pike appears on the oldest known seal in 1597. In the 17th century the three fish appear in a star shape. The wheels of Mainz appear in the early 19th century, first on local seals.

Coat of arms 1956

In the late 19th century, three pike were represented as the letter H. In 1956 the coat of arms was still presented in the colors of Mainz in the H-shape. In the early 21st century, the star shape was restored.

Buildings

Citizen monument (1982) by Erwin Mosen

In the old town center is the old town hall with what is probably the second oldest pike coat of arms above the door. The 2.60 m high civic monument by Erwin Mosen (see picture) in front of the Mainz-Hechtsheim volunteer fire brigade is also reminiscent of the viticulture in Hechtsheim and, to top it off, the three pikes and the Mainz wheel in the coat of arms.

Above the town center is the St. Pankratius mountain church, which celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2008. A few years ago the inside of the church was completely renovated. The old nurses' house and the old elementary school are located next to the church.

traffic

Hechtsheim is connected to the Mainz motorway ring ( A 60 ); The A 63 in the direction of Alzey can also be reached via the Mainz-Süd motorway junction not far from the district .

In addition to the tram lines, several MVG bus lines also operate in Hechtsheim. Line 74, which was introduced at the timetable change in December 2019, now has a direct connection to the Mainz districts of Bretzenheim, Gonsenheim and Mombach for the first time , which does not first run through the city center.

History of the Hechtsheim tram

Line 50 at the Hechtsheimer Wendeschleife
  • A post office was set up in 1881 as a forerunner of the transport connection to Mainz. "Horse busses" were used for regular traffic, which ran twice a day. With the introduction of the tram (horse-drawn tram) in 1883, the traffic connection to Mainz was improved. In 1891 a steam train line was created for the Süddeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft from the city center, starting at Fischtor , Große Bleiche, Binger Straße via Zahlbach and Bretzenheim to Hechtsheim (7.5 km), but it was not very attractive because of the long route and the relatively high travel costs ; In 1919 the city of Mainz took over the steam train, in 1922 the construction of the new line to Schillerplatz began, only the old section to the Jägerhaus remained. In June 1923 the new electric tram ( line 5 ) was inaugurated. The incorporation negotiations started in 1929 also provided for Hechtsheim's demand to introduce shorter cycle times for the tram, to build a waiting room at the terminus and to lower the tariffs.
  • Since the expansion of the Mainz tram network (called " Mainzelbahn ") at the end of 2016, Hechtsheim has been served by three of the five Mainz tram lines: tram line 50 (Hechtsheim / Bürgerhaus - Finthen / Römerquelle), tram line 52 (Hechtsheim / Am Schinnergraben - Bretzenheim / Bahnstrasse) and the tram line 53 (Hechtsheim / Bürgerhaus - Lerchenberg / Hindemithstrasse). This also resulted in better connections for Hechtsheim: The new line 53 runs from the Wendeschleife Bürgerhaus via the main station and the university / technical college , Bretzenheim , Marienborn to the Lerchenberg district .
