geography

location

The district of Gründau, like that of the Niedergründau district, lies entirely in the Ronneburg hill country (code number 233.0, part of the Büdingen-Meerholzer hill country in the northeast part of the Rhine-Main lowland between Nidder and Kinzig), a wooded cultural landscape. Mittel-Gründau borders in the north and east on the district of Gründau, Hain-Gründau , in the southeast and south on the districts Lieblos and Rothenbergen and in the west on the municipality of Ronneburg . The district's boundaries cover 914.7 hectares; the proportion of forest is 18%.

Geology and natural space

The place is located in the valley of the Gründau and consists largely of loess layers and soils created from Letten des Rotliegends . They are the basis of a productive agriculture. From Gelnhäuser Kinzigtal only the northerly plateau is part of the district, it is composed of a number of northeast-southwest running ridge between broad valleys and a flat-wavelength region to the west together.

history

prehistory

At the eastern exit of the town, in the district “In den Lehen”, residential pits with clay, charcoal, flint knives, stone axes, a rubbing stone and spiral ceramic or weather-muddy shards are said to have been found. The Gelnhausen local researchers Gerd and Reiner Mende have found coarse equipment from the Paleolithic on the edge of the plateau east of the train station on Stickelberg. In 1981, a group of 19 burial mounds in the forest "Am Vogelherd" south-east of the village, a further 14 finds from different epochs were to be built in the districts of "Im Judengrund" and "Sauerngrund" after extensive inspections and excavations. found

middle Ages

The village was first mentioned in 1219 with the place name Grinda media at the time.

About one kilometer west of Mittel-Gründau, the settlement of Rodenborn , which was only rediscovered in the 20th century , was located between Hundertmorgen and Zwetschenberg (in 1910, paving and foundations were found there when the land was being reorganized). In 1955, the field names Rodenbornacker, Rodenborner Platte, Rodenborner Wasem, Rodenborner Weinberg and the Rodenborner Weiher were known . Until 1251 the Meerholz monastery owned goods there which it sold to the Arnsburg monastery ; the Arnsburg monastery also acquired the rights of the Lords von Selbold , von Breitenbach u. A. In 1376 a district count of the Gründau court is documented from there , but in 1489 only one sheep farm is mentioned.

Thirty Years' War

In the Gründau valley , the village settlements were postponed by the Thirty Years' War (major acts of war between 1620 and 1645) and the plague (1634/35), also in the area of ​​the Mittel-Gründau district. To the north of the river Gründau was the former settlement of Mittel-Gründau an den Tannen , which belonged to the (old) court of Gründau, but burned down completely in the Thirty Years War. Today's village of Mittel-Gründau is located on the site of the Mittel-Gründau settlement on the beeches , which also existed until the Thirty Years' War and was not part of the Gründau court, but the Büdingen court. The two settlements were separated by the Haselbach coming from the Haselkopf ( the Bach , running roughly along today's Bachgasse). According to the tax cadastre of 1619, the eastern central Gründau is said to have paid 75 florins (guilders) and 2 schillings to the beeches and the western central Gründau to the firs 48 florins and 13 schillings (for comparison: the neighboring village of Niedergründau to the west then paid 80 florins, and the villages to the east of Hain-Gründau 8 florins and Gettenbach 2 florins).

The Ysenburg division of 1687

The emergence of the Büdinger Land and the special lines of the Ysenburg counts

Mittel-Gründau belonged to the county of Isenburg, which divided several times. The third main division (1684) resulted in the two houses Ysenburg-Büdingen-Birstein (from 1744 Principality of Isenburg and Büdingen) and Ysenburg-Büdingen. The latter divided into four special lines in a recess (= comparison) on July 23, 1687 . They all called themselves Ysenburg and Büdingen and each added the seat of their line: Ysenburg-Büdingen in Büdingen , Ysenburg-Büdingen in Marienborn (expired in 1725), Ysenburg-Büdingen in Meerholz (expired in 1929) and Ysenburg-Büdingen in Wächtersbach (the Wächtersbachers took their seat in Büdingen in 1941; it was the only Ysenburg line that was left). The village of Mittel-Gründau was divided: the old village of Mittel-Gründau an den Buchen ( Büdingen court ) came to the county of Ysenburg-Büdingen-Büdingen and the Mittel-Gründauer Hof (remainder of the village of Mittel-Gründau an den Tannen , Gründau court ) came to Ysenburg-Büdingen-Meerholz .

19th century

Mittel-Gründau comes to the Grand Duchy of Hesse

In the 19th century, the village belonged to the sovereign Principality of Isenburg (Rheinbund) (1806–1815) from 1806 . The Congress of Vienna gave rise to the Austrian Empire for one year, and in 1816 to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . Only after a border adjustment did the Mittel-Gründauer Hof come to the place Mittel-Gründau in 1858 and thus from the district of Gelnhausen (Electorate of Hesse) to the district of Büdingen (Grand Duchy of Hesse). By Art. 15 No. 9 of the peace treaty of September 3, 1866 , a 1700 acres , formerly part of the Hessian district of Mittel-Gründau, was allocated.

traffic

The state road 3271 runs through the village and the federal road 457 is on the northeastern edge of the village .

To the east of the town is the train station on the Gießen – Gelnhausen railway line , on which regional trains run by the Hessian state railway run almost every hour . The route was built from 1860 onwards on the initiative of the doctor and former member of the 2nd Chamber of the Estates of the Grand Duchy (1847–1850), Christian Peter Heldmann (1808–1866). For this purpose, the Gründau was reburied and the terrain spur of the Stickelberg, which reached far into the Gründau valley, was blown up. The resulting sandstone rock masses were used to build the railway line, as was the overburden resulting from the construction of the tunnel in the direction of Büdingen. Until the end of the 20th century, the railway was popularly known as the “Heldmann Railway” after its initiator and sponsor.
