Almonds is a district of the Dietzhölztal municipality in the Lahn-Dill district of Central Hesse with 1212 inhabitants.

geography

The place is located in the valley of the Dietzhölze tributary Mandelbach and the Breidebach flowing to it above about 360  m . The highest mountain within the district is the Eichwäldchen ( 608.4  m ) northwest of the village, followed by the Kleiner Hardt ( 566.4  m ) and the Großem Hardt ( 562.9  m ).

history

It was first mentioned on July 13, 800 as Mauventelina in the Lorsch Codex on the occasion of a donation of a certain camp and his wife Duda to the Lorsch Monastery . This means that the village of Almonds is probably the oldest village in the former Dill district.

This old settlement existed under the name Moyndille until at least 1298. The actual decay of old almonds is probably due to a dispute between the Hessian landgraves and the counts of Nassau. The village could have been destroyed between 1433 and 1443. After that, the old settlement was barely desolate for more than half a century, because in 1489, about one kilometer south, today's Almonds were reestablished or settled by the widow of Hutzmanns Heinz with her son Henn and Gerlach, the son-in-law of a man by name Palmenia from the nearby Hessian Roth.

The integration of the independent municipality of Mandeln into the municipality of Dietzhölztal in the course of the regional reform in Hesse took place on a voluntary basis on April 1, 1972.

population

Population development

The population of the village increased continuously from 1489 to 2005 with slight fluctuations. Only in 1597 it fell from about 100 inhabitants to 20 due to the plague. An above-average increase in the population took place in the 1970s due to the designation of the Ebachseite weekend area and the arrival of guest worker families. Also in the years 1989/90 due to the reunification of the Federal Republic of Germany and the relocation of ethnic Germans from the former Soviet Union. The population of Almonds in 2004 was 1430 people and included about 450 houses. Currently, the number of inhabitants in almonds is also falling (as of 2018).

coat of arms

Local coat of arms of almonds

In 1999 the village or the district of Mandeln received its own coat of arms. This shows three typical Hauberg's tools (hatchet, ax, peeler) running diagonally on a yellow background in the upper left half and a tree stump with an indicated rootstock in the lower right half, from which a new branch is already sprouting and thus the relationship to the one that is still today practiced hauberg economy. The watercourse shown diagonally from top right to bottom left refers to the Mandelbach. In a letter dated April 15, 1999, the Hessian State Archives announced that nothing stands in the way of use within the framework of the applicable laws and regulations.

Culture and sights

Hauberg

Hauberg is made in almonds every year . The legal basis of the Haubergs work goes back to the "Haubergordnung for the Dillkreis and the Oberwesterwaldkreis of June 4, 1887". It says: "Hauberge within the meaning of this law are the properties in the districts of Dillbrecht , Fellerdilln , Ober - and Niederroßbach , Bergebersbach , Eibelshausen , Almonds, Offdilln , Rittershausen , Steinbrücken , Straßebersbach, Weidelbach and Korb , which currently belong to Haubergs associations."
