Mitteldick was a wooded, independent district with a chief forestry, the core area of ​​which was cleared to build the community Zeppelinheim , which has been a district of Neu-Isenburg in the Offenbach district in Hesse since 1977 .

Geographical location

The forest area Mitteldick with an area of ​​1532.2 hectares (1927) lay on both sides of the Hengstbach , which drains west to the Schwarzbach and which in turn flows south of the Mainspitze into the Rhine . Middle thick was part of the relatively flat, closed forest area between the Main-Neckar Railway in the east, the Frankfurt Stadtwald in the north, the Main in the northwest and the Hessian Ried near Groß-Gerau in the southwest, which at the beginning of the 20th century was the Grand Ducal Hessian chief forester's offices in Raunheim, Kelsterbach, Mitteldick, Mörfelden, Langen, Isenburg, Groß-Gerau and Mönchbruch .

traffic

The forest district of Mitteldick was first developed through the Frankfurter Straße coming from Groß-Gerau and crossing it in a straight line . It was later included in the course of Bundesstraße 44 . At a slight bend in the road at the transition over the Hengstbach and in a central location in the district was the forester's house Mitteldick . This is where other aisles, also dead straight through the forest, bundled up. A church aisle led to Kelsterbach , another to Langen . The Mitteldicker Allee connected the forester's house with Wolfsgarten Castle and cut through the area at Langener Waldsee . The new forest joined the forester's house with Buchschlag and Sprendlingen and later became the country's road expanded L 3,262th The traffic development was completed by the Mitteldick station on the Riedbahn and the Sprendlingen station on the Main-Neckar-Bahn.

history

In 1600 the Isenburg Niederwald or Mitteldick with Kelsterbach was transferred to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt . The forester's house in Mitteldick was built in 1709 and existed until 1997. In 1771, Landgrave Ludwig von Hessen had the Gerau wildlife park laid out in the Mönchbruch, Gerau and Mitteldick forests. The fall gate house has been proven since 1799 . In 1896 a forest restaurant with beer garden was opened opposite the forester's house, which lasted until 1964.

In order to spare the many forest workers the daily long walk into the district, the “Mitteldick needs stop” was set up on October 1, 1901 at the Riedbahn. This made the forest area with the gastronomy at the forester's house an easily accessible and popular excursion destination. The area around the other train station, the Sprendlingen station, also became a special attraction. Here, a small part of the Mitteldick district was spun off to make room for the construction of the Buchschlag villa colony .

When the clearing for an airship port began west of Mitteldick in 1934, the area around the forester's house in Mitteldick was chosen as the location of a settlement for the employees of the airship port: Zeppelinheim . Most of the forest area was incorporated into the community that was newly created for this settlement on January 1, 1938.
