Niederbruch is the administrative center and the largest of the three districts of the municipality of Brechen in the Limburg-Weilburg district in Central Hesse .
Geographical location
The place is in the valley of the Emsbach and on the federal road 8 and the Main-Lahn-Bahn . To the west of the outskirts, the Wörsbach flows into the Emsbach. Niederbruch itself is between 140 and 210 meters above sea level. In the north-western part of the district, up to 232 meters can be reached in the slightly hilly landscape. The federal motorway 3 and the ICE route Frankfurt-Cologne run south of the town . The district has only small pieces of forest and mainly agriculturally used areas. To the west and south-west of the town there are larger gravel pits , some of which have already been exploited and closed.
The Niederrechener district borders in the north-west on Lindenholzhausen . In a clockwise direction, Villmar , Weyer , Oberrechen , Werschau , Nauheim and Mensfelden follow .
history
In the first documentary mention of the place in a deed of donation to the Lorsch monastery from the year 772, there is talk of “Brachina”, with no distinction between Ober- and Niederbruch. The first name that can be clearly identified as breaking down dates back to 1023, at that time under the name "Burg Brechen". In 1363, Niederbruch was given city rights by Emperor Charles IV . From 1367 to 1379 a city wall with a moat in front was built. The wall has been preserved to this day in small remains, mostly built into residential buildings. The prisoner tower is the last of seven towers that were once there .
On April 30, 1872, around 80 houses burned down, around half of the town.
The current parish church, consecrated to Saint Maximin , was built between 1899 and 1901, with the remains of the old church being included in the construction. In 1952 the church tower was renewed. The Catholics of Niederbruch have been making a pilgrimage to the pilgrimage chapel Maria Hilf Beselich for many decades , where they announce their faith.
Territorial reform
On December 31, 1971, the previously independent municipalities of Niederbruch and Werschau were merged to form the new municipality of Brechen as part of the regional reform in Hesse . Oberbruch was added on April 1, 1974.
