Location of the town of Nastätten in the Rhein-Lahn district

Naststätten is a town in the Rhein-Lahn district in Rhineland-Palatinate and the administrative seat of the association of the same name . According to state planning, Naststätten is designated as a middle center and forms the center of the Blue Land .

geography

Naststätten is located in the western Hintertaunus and is the largest city in the southern Rhein-Lahn district . The city lies in the valley of the Mühlbach .

Nast Orte also includes the Funkenmühle, Pollmerstall, Heidehof, Heubachmühle, Heubachtal, Schwall, Sonnenhügel, Tannenhof and Thurnsmühle residential areas .

history

In the first century AD, under Emperor Domitian (81–96), the Romans occupied the Taunus and with it the area of ​​today's Rhein-Lahn-Kreis and later Nastättens. Before and also at the time of the Romans, Celtic tribes lived in the Taunus area, which is also evident from the fact that there are numerous Celtic barrows in the vicinity of Nastättens. It is not known whether and how long before the document was mentioned that the immediate area in and around Nastätten was inhabited.

The place was first mentioned in the Prümer Urbar in 893 as Nasteden . Beginning of the 13th century the abbey Prüm except Fronhube 28 Mansi (farms), by hearing four of the and serfs were inhabited. The Prüm Abbey gave the place to the Counts of Katzenelnbogen as a fief in September 1326 , and they bought it in 1449.

As part of the Landgraviate of Hesse

With Philip I († June 27, 1479) the counts of Katzenelnbogen died out in the male line , the son-in-law, Landgrave Heinrich III. of Hesse , inherited the county. There was an inheritance dispute with Nassau-Dillenburg (about the Niedergrafschaft) that lasted for years, which was ended by the Frankfurt Treaty in 1557. In 1527 the Lutheran creed was introduced in Hesse, also in Nastätten, known as the Magnanimous under Landgrave Philip I of Hesse. Due to the inheritance divisions following the death of Philip I in 1567, the Landgraviate of Hesse was distributed to his four sons and Nastatten and the Niedergravschaft fell to the second youngest son of Philip II, and the Landgraviate of Hesse-Rheinfels was created. After the death of Philip II in 1583, the Lower County fell to Hesse-Kassel . In the following decades the Niedergrafschaft was a bone of contention between the reformed Hessen-Kassel and the Lutheran Hessen-Darmstadt: During the Thirty Years War, Nastatten and the Niedergrafschaft belonged to Hessen-Darmstadt between 1623 and 1647, from 1648 it belonged again to Hesse- Kassel.

As early as (and before) the 16th century, intensive sheep breeding was practiced around Nastatten and the fabrics woven from the wool were sold as particularly high-quality "Nastätter cloth" at home and abroad. From around 1590 flax cultivation was an important source of income. The flax was also used to make cloth, which was often dyed blue. This is the origin of the name Blue Land for the area around the place.

After the real division of the Quadruple Court on the Einrich in the two so-called Nastatter recesses in 1774/75 and the takeover of a number of villages into the direct rule of Hesse-Kassel , Nastatten became the seat of the newly formed Katzenelnbogic office .

Under Napoleon

During the so-called French period , the place came under French administration ( Pays réservé ), together with the right bank of the Lower County of Katzenelnbogen from 1806 to 1813 . After the Congress of Vienna in the region and thus Nastätten came in 1816 because of two exchange agreements between Hesse , Prussia and Nassau to the Duchy of Nassau .

Duchy of Nassau

Naststätten was granted city rights in 1817.

Prussia

From 1866 onwards, with the annexation of the Duchy as a result of the German War, Nastatten became Prussian and was initially assigned to the Unterlahnkreis in the province of Hesse-Nassau . From April 1, 1886, the city with the western part of the dissolved office Nastatten belonged to the newly created district of Sankt Goarshausen .

After the First World War, Nastatten was occupied by French troops from December 14, 1918 to September 9, 1919 and then belonged to the French occupation zone until the French withdrew in 1929.

At the beginning of March 1927, the hitherto hardest confrontation between the National Socialists and their opponents in Nassau took place in Nastaeten: At the so-called "Battle of Nastaetten", SA troops from Wiesbaden, Frankfurt and Mainz as well as other National Socialists disrupted a lecture event directed against their movement. There was one dead and several seriously injured. The Wiesbaden local branch of the NSDAP was then banned for one year. Naststätten was the first city in Prussia that Adolf Hitler made an honorary citizen, namely on June 14, 1932.

On March 27, 1945, American troops occupied Nastätten.

After the Second World War

In July 1945 Nastatten became part of the French occupation zone.

Naststätten has been part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946 . Since the regional reform of 1969, the city has belonged to the Rhein-Lahn district and in 1972 became the seat of the newly created association of Nastätten.

economy

Naststätten used to be characterized by agriculture. In and before the 16th century there was sheep farming and "blue dyeing" (see above). In 1898, construction of the Nassau small railway began throughout the facility and lasted until 1901. The railway line also ran through Nastätten. Where the bus station is located today was the station or the station building from 1901, which is still standing today. In 1907/1908 the Düsseldorf company “Kampf und Spindler” founded a silk spinning mill in Nastätten, which existed until 1969/1970.

religion

Synagogue in Naststätten, built in 1904, destroyed in 1939

The city is ecclesiastically assigned to the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau and the Catholic Diocese of Limburg .

Evangelical parish church in Naststätten

In February 2018 the ten formerly independent parishes St. Martin ( Osterspai ), St. Margaretha ( Filsen ), St. Nikolaus ( Kamp-Bornhofen ), St. Jakobus the Elder ( Dahlheim ), St. Georg ( Kestert ), St. Martin ( Wellmich ), St. John the Baptist ( St. Goarshausen ), St. Nikolaus ( Kaub ), St. Peter and Paul (Nastätten) and St. Florin ( Strüth ) to the newly founded Roman Catholic parish “Saint Elisabeth von Schönau ”with headquarters in Kamp-Bornhofen, it belongs to the Limburg diocese.

In Naststätten there is, on the one hand, the Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul, built in the middle of the 17th century, and, on the other hand, the Protestant church of St. Salvator, which was probably built at the beginning of the 13th century (at that time of course as a Catholic church).

53% people of Protestant religion and 21% Catholics live in Nastätze, the remaining 26% belong either to another religion or to no religion. The big difference between the two religious groups can be explained by the fact that in Nastätten - as in the entire Landgraviate of Hesse - the Reformation was introduced in 1527 and the subjects of the Landgrave had to become Protestant. Since the inhabitants were not allowed to change their creed according to the principle of " Cuius regio, eius religio " (whose rule, whose religion) was valid in the late Middle Ages and early modern times , Nastatten remained largely Protestant, as can be seen from today's figures. The first Catholic parish after the Reformation was only possible again here after the change of faith of Landgrave Ernst I of Hesse-Rheinfels-Rotenburg , from 1652 onwards. The more detailed legal circumstances for this were laid down in the Regensburg Treaty of 1654 .

The first Jew, by the name of Isaias, moved to Nastätten in 1654 with the permission issued on October 8, 1654 by Landgrave Ernst I of Hesse-Rheinfels, who had converted to Catholicism. In the following decades, more Jews came to Nastätten, so that in 1843 67 Jews lived there. In 1871 there were 78, in 1905 67 and in 1925 54.

In the course of the 19th century, the Jews were legally equated. The emancipation and equality of the Jews in Nastatten, which from 1866 belonged to Prussia and the North German Confederation, was concluded with a law of the North German Confederation of July 3, 1869.

From 1868 on there was Jewish religious instruction in Nastätten.

On August 5 and 6, 1904, the new synagogue in Naststätten was inaugurated with great sympathy, including the non-Jewish population. In November 1938 the synagogue was destroyed.

On January 15, 1941, the then mayor of Nastätt reported to the district administrator in St. Goarshausen that there were no longer any Jews living in Nastatten.
