history

History of Mittershausen

Mitterhausen arose in the area of ​​the former Mark Heppenheim , which designated an administrative district of the Franconian Empire . On January 20, 773, Charlemagne donated the city of Heppenheim and its district, the extensive Mark Heppenheim , to the imperial monastery of Lorsch .

The earliest known mention of Mitterhausen is a document from 1339 in which Rudolf II of the Palatinate assured the Kunigunde von Brück of her morning gift. The origin of the village is presumed to be in the eighth century, since other villages in the area around Mittershausen originated during this time or because the ending -hausen also indicates this time of origin. But it can also be that the place, comparable to Kirschhausen and Sonderbach, only took place after the Lorsch Abbey was granted the ban on forest and wild life in 1012. The area around Mittershausen was already supported by the Erbach taverns as a Palatine fiefdom , who ruled it from Schönberg Castle . Mittershausen belonged within the "Office Lindenfels" to the "Neue Zent" and comes in an exchange contract between the Erbacher Schenken Georg, Eberhard and Valentin and the Elector Friedrich III. 1561 to the Electoral Palatinate.

In the early days of the Reformation , the Palatinate rulers openly sympathized with the Lutheran faith, but it was not until Ottheinrich (Elector from 1556 to 1559) that the official transition to Lutheran teaching took place. After that, the population had to accept several changes of belief between Lutheran and Calvinist beliefs before the Thirty Years' War broke out , with the Electoral Palatinate heavily involved . At the end of 1648 the country was devastated and the Electoral Palatinate, as one of the worst affected areas, had lost almost half of the population. On the Bergstrasse in particular, large areas outside the fortified cities were completely depopulated. After the devastating war, the Electoral Palatinate pursued a policy of resettlement in its area characterized by religious tolerance. But the wars that broke out in the troubled times that followed, such as the War of the Palatinate Succession (1688–1697) and the War of Spanish Succession (1701–1714) destroyed many of the efforts and tens of thousands of Palatine emigrated and the like. a. to North America and Prussia.

From a religious point of view, too, the time after the Thirty Years' War was marked by great unrest. In 1685 the Reformed Palatinate-Simmern line died out and the Catholic cousins ​​of the Palatinate-Neuburg line took over the government in the Electoral Palatinate with Elector Philipp Wilhelm . This ordered the equality of the Catholic faith in the predominantly Protestant Palatinate. Even during the War of the Palatinate Succession, France tried to advance the Counter-Reformation in the conquered areas and founded a number of Catholic parishes. The war ended in 1697 with the Peace of Rijswijk , which strengthened the position of the then reigning Catholic Elector Johann Wilhelm . This led to the decree of the Simultaneum on October 26, 1698 . According to this, the Catholics were entitled to use all reformed institutions such as churches, schools and cemeteries, while the reverse was not allowed. Furthermore, the reformed church administration, which had been independent until then, was subordinated to the sovereign. It was only at the instigation of Prussia in 1705 that the so-called Palatinate church division came about , in which the simultaneity was reversed and the churches in the country, including rectories and schools, were divided between the Reformed and the Catholics in a ratio of five to two. There were special regulations for the three capitals Heidelberg , Mannheim and Frankenthal as well as the regional authorities Alzey , Kaiserslautern , Oppenheim , Bacharach and Weinheim . In cities with two churches, one should go to Protestants and the other to Catholics; in the others, where there was only one church, the choir was separated from the nave by a wall, and the one to the Catholics and the other to the Protestants. The Lutherans were only allowed those churches that they owned in 1624 or had built afterwards.

Until 1737 the "Amt Lindenfels" was subordinate to the Oberamt Heidelberg , after which Lindenfels became an Oberamt . Mittershausen was part of the "Neue Zent" within the "Office Lindenfels" , while the Upper Office belonged to the "Palatinate Counties near Rhine" (in the "Electorate Palatinate Bavaria" from 1777).

The geographical-historical description of the Kurfürstl. Pfalz am Rheine from 1786 reports about Mittershausen:

»Is one and a half hours west of Lindenfels and has neighbors, to the east Igelbach ( Igelsbach ), to the south the Kurmainzische village Kirschhausen, to the west the Heppenheimer Stadtwald, to the north Scheuerberg. Between Konrad the older armies in Erbach and Hademat in Laber the young, errors arose over this little village, which Elector Ludwig III. decided in 1419. Gedachter von Laber claimed that Mitterhusen and the associated villages of Mittelechtern and Schürberg had been prescribed to his mother-in-law for Wittum, whereas Schenk Konrad asserted that such villages belonged to Palatinate fiefs, and to Schöneberg, therefore did not belong to that Wittum. The little Pfalzbächlein, already noticed in Scheuerberg, runs through it, drives the so-called village mill, and continues its course in the middle right. The road to Heppenheim that you just noticed passes next to the little village. In 1734 it contained 18 families, 71 souls, 10 houses and a mill. The district but 212 M. Aecker, 41 M. Wiesen, 3 M. Gardens and 5 M. Forest. On the big tithe, the Electoral Palatinate Court Chamber moves into two and the Cathedral Chapter of Mainz one third. At the little one the Oberamtmann two and the Catholic pastor of Lindenfels one third. "

The late 18th and early 19th centuries brought far-reaching changes to Europe. As a result of the Napoleonic Wars , the " Left Bank of the Rhine " and thus the left bank of the Rhine were annexed by France as early as 1797 . In its last session in February 1803, the Perpetual Reichstag in Regensburg passed the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , which implemented the provisions of the Peace of Luneville and reorganized the territorial relations in the Holy Roman Empire (German Nation) . The Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt was awarded parts of the dissolved principalities of Kurmainz , Electoral Palatinate and the Diocese of Worms as compensation for lost areas on the right bank of the Rhine . Also the Oberamt Lindenfels and with it Mittershausen at Hessen-Darmstadt. There the Oberamt was temporarily continued as the Hessian District Bailiwick. The superordinate administrative authority was the "Administrative Region Darmstadt" which from 1803 was also referred to as the "Principality of Starkenburg".

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Darmstadt” was set up as a court of second instance for the Principality of Starkenburg . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or the landlords . The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate . With this, the "Zent Heppenheim" and the associated central courts had finally lost their function.

Under pressure from Napoléon , the Confederation of the Rhine was founded in 1806 , this happened with the simultaneous withdrawal of the member territories from the Reich. This led to the laying down of the imperial crown on August 6, 1806, with which the old empire ceased to exist. On August 14, 1806, Napoleon elevated the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt to the Grand Duchy , against joining the Confederation of the Rhine and placing high military contingents in France , otherwise he threatened an invasion. In 1812, the area of ​​the "Amt Lindenfels" was divided and Mittershausen was assigned to the formerly Mainz " Amt Heppenheim". In 1814 serfdom was lifted in the Grand Duchy.

After Napoléon's final defeat, the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15 also regulated the territorial situation for Hesse and confirmed the boundaries of the Principality of Starkenburg. In addition, Article 47 assigned other areas to the Grand Duchy of Hesse, including Worms , Alzey , Bingen and Mainz , an area known as Rheinhessen . In 1815 the Grand Duchy joined the German Confederation . By the treaty of Frankfurt on June 30, 1816 Grand Duke Ludwig came as a result of German war which even before the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss occupied on 6 September 1802 Duchy of Westphalia from the King of Prussia.

In 1816 provinces were formed in the Grand Duchy and the area previously known as the "Principality of Starkenburg", which consisted of the old Hessian territories south of the Main and the territories on the right bank of the Rhine that were added from 1803, was renamed "Province of Starkenburg" . On December 17, 1820, with the introduction of the " Constitution of the Grand Duchy of Hesse ", the Grand Duchy became a constitutional monarchy , in which the Grand Duke still had great powers. The remaining civil rights magnificent as Low jurisdiction , tithes, ground rents and other slope but remained composed until 1848.

In 1821, as part of a comprehensive administrative reform, the district bailiffs in the provinces of Starkenburg and Upper Hesse of the Grand Duchy were dissolved and district councils were introduced, with Mittershausen becoming part of the Lindenfels district . As part of this reform, regional courts were also created, which were now independent of the administration. The district court districts corresponded in scope to the district council districts and the district court of Fürth was responsible as the court of first instance for the district of Lindenfels . This reform also arranged the administrative administration at the municipal level. In addition to Mittershausen , the mayor's office in Mittershausen was also responsible for Breitenwiesen , Igelsbach , Knoden , Mitlechtern , Schannenbach and Scheuerberg. According to the municipal ordinance of June 30, 1821, there were no longer appointments of mayors , but an elected local council, which was composed of a mayor, aldermen and council.

In 1829 the statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports :

»Mittershausen (L. Bez. Lindenfels) reform. Filialdorf; is 1 1 ⁄ 2   St. of Lindenfels and has 20 houses and 142 inhabitants, and of these 28 Luth. 106 reform. and 8 Cath. - About this place disputes arose between Schenk Conrad von Erbach and Hademar zu Laber the Younger, which were led by Elector Ludwig III. 1419 were decided. In 1802 the place came from Churpfalz to Hesse. "

On March 16, 1842, the decision to part ways was decided. Schannenbach with Knoden and Breitenweise formed its own mayor's office from July 22nd, Scheuerberg and the other communities remained near Mittershausen. On July 1, 1906, at the instigation of the residents, Mitterhausen and Scheuerberg had their own mayor's office and members of the Igelsbach family were given a mayor's office. This classification then lasted until the end of the Second World War .

The following entry can be found in the latest and most thorough alphabetical lexicon of all localities in the German federal states from 1845–48:

“Mittershausen near Lindenfels. - village, for evangel. Rimbach parish, resp. Catholic parish Lindenfels belonging. - 20 H. 142 (mostly reform.) E. - Grand Duchy of Hesse. - Starkenburg province, - Heppenheim district. - Fürth district court. - Darmstadt Court of Justice. - The village of Mittershausen passed from Churpfalz to Hesse in 1802. "

History of Scheuerberg

The village of Scheuerberg is now part of the Mittershausen-Scheuerberg district of the city of Heppenheim. Like Mittershausen, Scheuerberg also arose in the area of ​​the former Mark Heppenheim, which designated an administrative district of the Franconian Empire . On January 20, 773, Charlemagne donated the city of Heppenheim and its district, the extensive Mark Heppenheim , to the imperial monastery of Lorsch .

The first documentary mention as Scheuerberger / Scheurburg takes place in 1371, as nobleman Albrecht Starkerad von Breuberg all his goods in Mittershausen and Scheuerberg to the taverns Konrad VI. sold by Erbach-Reichenberg and Heinrich II. von Erbach-Michelstadt. In the Middle Ages, the place belonged to the taverns of Erbach until 1561, as did Mittershausen, through an exchange deal with the "Neue Zent" to the Oberamt Lindenfels in the Electoral Palatinate. In the following time, the history of Mittershausen within the "Neue Zent" ran parallel to Mittershausen.

The geographical-historical description of the Kurfürstl. Pfalz am Rheine from 1786 reports about Scheuerberg:

"Lies two hours south of the town of Lindenfels and has neighbors to the east of Seidenbach, to the south the little village of Mittershausem, to the west and north the Heppenheim forest and field markings." And further "Above the little village in the Heppenheim Hochwalde the Pfalzbachlein rises wildly from strengthens some Brunquellen and runs south to Mittershausen. Beside past the road pulls from the mountains to Heppenheim and Bensheim. In 1734 there were 7 houses, 12 families, 57 souls in this place. The district contains 130 m Aecker, 31 m meadows, 4 m gardens and 5 m forest. On the tenth, the temporary senior bailiff enjoys two part of the salary and the Catholic pastor one third. Regardless it is the smallest little village, it has yet to honor that in the ordinary centering and Hubgericht is held. "

Just like Mittershausen, Scheuerberg came to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, which was then merged into the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806.

In 1829 the statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports :

»Scheuerberg: (L. Bez. Lindenfels) luth. Reform. U. cath. Filialdorf is 1 St. from Lindenfels and has 11 houses and 80 inhabitants, including 19 Luth. 40 reform. and 21 Cath. are located. The place was exchanged in 1561 from Erbach to Churpfalz and in 1802 to Hesse. "

The following entry can be found in the latest and most thorough alphabetical lexicon of all localities in the German federal states from 1845–48:

»Scheuerberg b. Lindenfels. - Village, to reform. Parish Schlierbach, resp. Catholic parish Lindenfels belonging. - 11 H. 80 (mostly reform.) E. - Großherzogth. Hesse. - Prov. Starkenburg. - Heppenheim district. - Fürth district court. - Hofger. Darmstadt. - The village of Scheuerberg flourished in Hesse in 1802. The place used to belong to Churpfalz. "

Common history of the villages

After both places were given a joint mayor's office in the “Lindenfels district” in 1821, the higher-level administrative units changed several times as a result of administrative reforms. In 1832 these units were enlarged one more time and circles were created. After the reorganization announced on August 20, 1832, there should only be the districts of Bensheim and Lindenfels in the future in Süd-Starkenburg; the district of Heppenheim should fall into the district of Lindenfels. Even before the ordinance came into force on October 15, 1832, it was revised to the effect that instead of the Lindenfels district, the Heppenheim district was formed as the second district to which Mittershausen and Scheuerberg now belonged.

As a result of the March Revolution of 1848, with the "Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords" of April 15, 1848, the special rights of the class were finally repealed. In addition, in the provinces, the districts and the district administration districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished on July 31, 1848 and replaced by "administrative districts", whereby the previous districts of Bensheim and Heppenheim were combined to form the administrative district of Heppenheim . Just four years later, in the course of the reaction era, they returned to the division into districts and Mittershausen and Scheuerberg became part of the newly created Lindenfels district .

The population and cadastral lists recorded in December 1852 showed for Mittershausen and Scheuerberg: Mittershausen 172 inhabitants, Scheuerberg 82 inhabitants. The common area consists of 979 acres , 453 acres of arable land, 249 acres of meadows and 249 acres of forest.

In the statistics of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, based on December 1867, the mayor's office and district Mittershausen, 11 houses, 90 inhabitants, the Lindenfels district, the Fürth district court, the Protestant Reformed parish Schlierbach and the Lutheran parish Gronau of the deanery are shown for the Scheuerberg branch Lindenfels and the Catholic parish of Lindenfels belonging to the Heppenheim deanery.

For Mittershausen there is given: 23 houses, 155 inhabitants, the district of Lindenfels, the district court of Fürth, the Protestant Reformed parish Schlierbach or the Lutheran parish Rimbach of the deanery Lindenfels and the Catholic parish Lindenfels of the deanery Heppenheim. The mayor's office in Mittershausen also administers the branch villages Igelsbach (4 houses, 40 inh.) And Mitlechtern (36 houses, 220 in.), Each with its own district.

In 1870, the Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck provoked the Franco-German War with the so-called Emser Depesche in which the Grand Duchy of Hesse took part as a member of the North German Confederation on the side of Prussia . Even before its official end on May 10, 1871, the southern German states joined the North German Confederation and on January 1, 1871 its new constitution came into force, with which it was now called the German Empire . On the German side, this war claimed around 41,000 deaths. With the Reich Coin Act , Germany only had one currency, the mark with 100 pfennigs as a sub-unit. After the Grand Duchy of Hesse had been part of the German Empire from 1871, a series of administrative reforms were decided in 1874. The state-specific rules of procedure as well as the administration of the districts and provinces were regulated by district and provincial assemblies. The new regulation came into force on July 12, 1874 and also decreed the dissolution of the Lindenfels and Wimpfen districts and the incorporation of Mittershausen with Scheuerberg into the Heppenheim district .

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Amtsgericht Fürth" and assigned to the district of the Darmstadt Regional Court .

At the end of the 19th century, the industrial age slowly heralded the Odenwald. The state road from Worms via Bensheim, through the Lautertal to Lindenfels and on to Michelstadt, for example, made an important contribution to improving the infrastructure of the front Odenwald . It was given the name "Nibelungenstrasse", which refers to the Nibelungen saga. In 1869 the opening of the Nibelungen Railway from Worms via Lorsch to Bensheim was celebrated, where it was connected to the Rhein-Neckar Railway , which was completed in 1846 . Further infrastructure improvements were reported for 1900, so near Worms both the Ernst Ludwig Bridge for road traffic and the railway bridge over the Rhine were opened to traffic. The numbers of emigrants show that the times were also marked by a lot of poverty. Between 1881 and 1900, 529,875 German emigrants were counted. On January 1, 1900, the Civil Code came into force throughout the German Empire .

Time of world wars

On August 1, 1914, the First World War broke out, which put an end to the positive economic development throughout the German Empire . When the armistice was signed after the German defeat on November 11, 1918, Mittershausen and Scheuerberg also had eight casualties, while the war cost a total of around 17 million human lives. The end of the German Empire was thus sealed, and the troubled times of the Weimar Republic followed, in which between 1921 and 1930 around 566,000 emigrants tried to escape the difficult conditions in Germany.

Other events in modern times are also to be mentioned for Mittershausen-Scheuerberg: The connection to the power supply takes place from 1920 to 1921. A post office with telephone connection opened in 1928. In 1927 the size of the district including Scheuerberg was given as 244.6  ha .

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, which marked the end of the Weimar Republic and the beginning of the National Socialist dictatorship. In the spring of 1933, Adolf Hitler made May 1 a public holiday called “German Labor Day”. In this way, a union demand was met by the government of all people, which the unions strictly opposed. The unions called for participation in the May events, as they felt they were the initiators of the May idea. The official program was already heavily influenced by the National Socialists: “6 o'clock wake up by the SA bands. 8 a.m. flag hoisting in the factories, march to the parade ground, 9 a.m. transmission of the rally from the pleasure garden in Berlin to the public squares of the cities. 10.45 am State act of the Hessian government (...), reception of a workers' delegation from the three Hessian provinces. (...) Common singing of the 'Song of the Workers'. (...) 7.30 am Transmission from the Tempelhofer Feld, Berlin: Manifesto of Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler, 'The first year of the four-year plan'. Then light music and German dance. 12 noon: Broadcast of the speech by Prime Minister Hermann Göring. (...) Former Marxist singing, gymnastics and sports clubs can take part in the parades, but carry Marxist flags or symbols with you. ”The rude awakening for the unions came a day later when the“ NSDAP took over the leadership of the red trade unions took over ":" The Marxist leaders since then in protective custody - a 3 million account of the former Reichstag President Löbe blocked - the rights of the workers secured - the buildings of the free trade unions occupied ", headlined the newspapers, which had already been harmonized throughout the Reich. In November 1938 the so-called Reichskristallnacht brought hardship and misery to the Jewish fellow citizens.

On November 1, 1938, a drastic regional reform was carried out in the three provinces of Starkenburg, Rheinhessen and Upper Hesse. In Starkenburg, the Bensheim district was particularly hard hit, as it was dissolved and most of it was added to the Heppenheim district. The district of Heppenheim also took over the legal successor to the district of Bensheim and was given the new name Landkreis Bergstrasse .

On September 1, 1939, when German troops marched into Poland, the Second World War began , the effects of which were even more dramatic than the First World War and the number of victims estimated at 60 to 70 million people. In the final phase of the Second World War in Europe, the American units reached the Rhine between Mainz and Mannheim in mid-March 1945. On March 22nd, the 3rd US Army crossed the Rhine near Oppenheim and occupied Darmstadt on March 25th. In the first hours of March 26, 1945, American units crossed the Rhine near Hamm and south of Worms, from where they advanced on a broad front towards the Bergstrasse. On March 27, the American troops were in Lorsch, Bensheim and Heppenheim and a day later Aschaffenburg am Main and the western and northern parts of the Odenwald were occupied. Mittershausen with Scheuerberg had about 16 fallen or missing soldiers in this war.

The Grand Duchy of Hesse was a member state of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866 and then a federal state of the German Empire . It existed until 1919, after the First World War, the Grand Duchy for was republican written People's State of Hesse . In 1945 after the end of the Second World War , the area of ​​today's Hesse was in the American zone of occupation and by order of the military government, Greater Hesse was created , from which the state of Hesse emerged in its current borders.

Post-war and present

In 1961, the area of ​​Mittershausen with Scheuerbach was given as 245  hectares , of which 63 hectares were forest. With the postcodes introduced in 1961, the house numbers in the town are reassigned.

On July 1, 1971, the previously independent community of Mittershausen was incorporated into Heppenheim on a voluntary basis as part of the regional reform in Hesse . The main street will be given the new name Am Pfalzbach . For Mittershausen-Scheuerberg, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was formed according to the Hessian municipal code. On September 25, 1971, the districts incorporated into Heppenheim were assigned to the Bensheim District Court .

The district celebrated its 650th anniversary from September 8 to 17, 1989 due to the first mention of Mittershausen in 1339. On this occasion, the district also received its current coat of arms. In 1994 the towns of Mittershausen-Scheuerberg, Kirschhausen , Sonderbach and Wald-Erlenbach merged with the French towns: Brissarthe , Miré and Contigné in the Maine-et-Loire department . In 1996, the village took part in the Hessian competition "Our Village" and took 3rd place. On September 17, 2001, the district can inaugurate its village community center Am Auwiesenberg . "When the Hessentag took place in Heppenheim from July 18 to 27, 2004 , the Hanomag Club of the district organized an agricultural exhibition on an area of ​​6,000 m².
