geography

Geographical location

Nieder Grenzebach is located on the northern slope of a foothills of the Knüllgebirge at the opening of the Grenzebach valley in the Schwalm valley on the lower reaches of the Schwalm tributary Grenzebach . This is the transition area between the western foothills of the Knüllgebirge and the Schwalm landscape . On the south-western outskirts of the town, along the old Cologne - Leipziger Messestrasse, the federal highway 454 passes.

geology

At the exit towards Schönborn , the Grenzebach valley is formed like a gorge; this is due to the crossing of a tertiary lava flow, which flowed from the boiler, east of Niederlimitebach, to the northwest.

history

The place was first mentioned in 1015. To 1238 Messrs transferred from Uttershausen the monastery Haina two hooves in Grenzebach subject to lifelong use. In 1254 they transferred half and in 1257 the other half of their allods to the Haina monastery. In 1266, Count Ludwig II von Ziegenhain transferred a quarter of the tithe to Grenzebach, which his castle man Bruno von Heimbach held as a fief , to the Haina monastery; In 1269 this legacy was confirmed by the counts. In 1279, the Haina monastery transferred the former property of those from Uttershausen in Grenzebach to a Ludwig called Waltvogel. In 1293, King Adolf confirmed his possessions, rights and freedoms to the Haina monastery, including with regard to the tithe at Grenzebach. The same was confirmed by King Henry VII in 1309, including the tithe in Nieder-Grenzebach. Further confirmations of ownership were made by the Archbishops of Mainz until 1354 . Before 1372, Count Gottfried VII von Ziegenhain acquired half an estate in Nieder-Grenzebach by donating it from the von Linden brothers; In 1378 this property was pledged to the Ziegenhain ministerial Fritz Stock . From 1380, the Counts of Ziegenhain, like the Haina monastery, claimed the Rottzehnten to Nieder Grenzebach; against payment of an unspecified amount of money, Haina took it in pledge. In the years 1383 and 1391 the estate of the goat grocer Mengoz von Radenhausen zu Nieder-Grenzebach was pledged to the goat grove family Biszigel. In 1415 Agnes von Radenhausen, Mengoz's daughter, sold this estate to the Counts of Ziegenhain. The brothers Kurt and Heinrich von Römershausen exchanged their property with the Counts of Ziegenhain in 1420. In 1501, the Haina monastery was confirmed to have half the tithe in Nieder-Grenzebach. In contrast, the rights of the Counts of the Ziegenhain , which the early knife of the Apostle Altar in Ziegenhain asserted on the basis of an old document from the counts, were rejected in this context. Around 1585 was the field Tenth half landgräflich-Hessian fief of the Lords Rau von Holzhausen , the other half landgräflicher (former Hainaer) possession.

During the Thirty Years' War , the village was completely burned down on November 14, 1640, the day before the battle on Riebelsdorfer Berg , as did Steina , Leimbach , Loshausen , Ransbach , Zella and Salmshausen by the imperial troops of General Hans Rudolf von Breda . After that, the place recovered very slowly from this destruction.

In 1747 there was a miller , eight linen weavers , a wagner , two blacksmiths , three tailors , an innkeeper , fourteen day laborers and two shepherds living in Nieder Grenzebach .

1961 were 133 people in the agriculture and forestry , 184 in the manufacturing industry , 62 in trade and transport and 57 persons in the service sector operates.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , on December 31, 1970, the two cities of Treysa and Ziegenhain merged with the surrounding villages of Ascherode, Florshain, Frankenhain, Niederbegrenzebach, Rommershausen and Trutzhain on a voluntary basis to form the expanded city of Schwalmstadt. This made Nieder Grenzebach a district of Schwalmstadt. The administrative seat became Treysa. For all formerly independent municipalities, local districts with local advisory boards and local councilors were formed in accordance with the Hessian municipal code.

Mill

Around 1585 a village mill is mentioned in Nieder Grenzebach. The overshot water mill , which was driven by the Grenzebach dammed up into a mill pond , had a grinding passage in 1747 .

Economic development

By converting agriculture to the more productive crop rotation system, the place, like many villages in the Schwalm, gained a new economic boom towards the end of the 18th century. With its rich farms, stately half-timbered buildings and free flowing brook, Niederlimitebach is one of the most beautiful villages in the Schwalm today and, with around 1,100 inhabitants, forms the third largest district of Schwalmstadt after Treysa and Ziegenhain.

Jewish Cemetery

The Jewish cemetery in Nieder Grenzebach was occupied by the Jewish community of Ziegenhain and until 1850 also by the Jewish community of Treysa . It is located on a hill north of the village and can be reached via the continuation of the Kottenbergweg. The cemetery area covers 58.37 acres . The last burials took place in 1946/47; this is evidenced by the existing tombstones ( Mazewa ). The cemetery was largely destroyed during the Nazi era and, with the exception of a few preserved tombstones, was removed in the first few years after the war.
