history

Location of Marbach (Marbag) on a map of the Hochstift Fulda from 1574

Marbach was first mentioned in a document in 1228: The Fulda abbot Konrad transfers the parish “marpach” to the collegiate monastery in Hünfeld. Earlier mentions of Marbach from the years 747 and 1093 do not refer to the place Marbach, but to the stream as a border river. In 1738 it belonged to the Fulda Abbey , Burghaun Office . Already in 1787 it belonged to the prince abbey of Fulda and the Oberamt Mackenzell .

Due to the unfavorable soil conditions, Marbach remained a village marked by poverty for a long time. Additional income resulted from tensioning services on the steep sections of the old Reichsstrasse from Frankfurt to Leipzig , where Marbach was located. Only with the beginning of industrialization, the construction of the railroad and the arrival of electricity, did the standard of living begin to rise.

The first state school was established in 1795.

The Fulda – Hersfeld – Bebra railway line was built from 1862 to 1866 . The breakpoint Marbach was commissioned in 1898 and from 1911 to 1912 at a train station expanded. In 1980 the station was closed.

On December 31, 1971, Marbach lost its independence in the course of the regional reform in Hesse and became a district of the Petersberg community.

The construction of the bypass road in 1981 brought great relief , which now leads the heavy traffic on federal road 27 around Marbach.

Between 1983 and 1989 the Haunestausee was built .

Nowadays, due to its location, infrastructure and building areas, Marbach is a popular place to live with a steadily growing number of inhabitants, which is characterized by active club life.

Religions

In 2003 around 77 percent of Marbach's residents were Catholic and around 13 percent were Protestant . The other ten percent were non-denominational or belonged to other religious communities.

The Catholic parish church is dedicated to St. Aegidius . There is no documentary evidence of when the first tower of the church was built. What is certain, however, is that at least the lower part of the tower was built in its current foundation walls in 1436. It served as a defense tower in troubled times . In 1676 the church was destroyed by fire and only rebuilt 20 years later. After a slow decline later, it was rebuilt in its current form between 1921 and 1923 and has been renovated several times since then.

Personalities

Others

The fair is traditionally celebrated on the first weekend in November each year .

Speeketze is the local name for the Marbach residents . It comes from the time when the small farmers in Marbach had to look for additional income opportunities because of the barren soil. They collected Kienspäne (shavings, called Platt Spee in the Rhön ) in the forest and brought them to the market in Fulda in the back basket ( Ketze ). Today the Kirmesverein and the Lauftreff bear the name.

Marbach is the namesake for a potash salt deposit that has not yet been mined . The so-called Marbacher Feld adjoins the Werra potash district to the southwest and extends roughly to Marbach. Little has been explored so far.

In autumn 2011, parts of the 3D film Lost Place were shot in the forest near Marbach . The elaborately produced Mystery - Thriller came in 2013 in the cinemas.
