Niederissigheim is a district of the city of Bruchköbel in the Hessian Main-Kinzig district with approx. 3000 inhabitants.

Geographical location

The place is at an altitude of 123 m above sea ​​level , 7 km north of the city center of Hanau, between Schöneck and Erlensee . There is an industrial area between the city center of Bruchköbel and Niederissigheim . Originally the settlement was located in a flat valley through which the Krebsbach stream flows. After recurring floods, some of the residents moved their farms to the adjacent hills, so that two independent villages, Niederissigheim and Oberissigheim , were created.

history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of the place comes from around 850 and is in a deed of donation to the Fulda monastery . This passed the property on to his branch monastery in Schlüchtern , which is named as the owner in 1167. In addition to the church and its patronage , the property also included the tithe and a fron . The bailiwick over the monastery properties was given to von Brauneck as a fief , from 1456 to von Karben , then to von Elkershausen and in 1616 to von Auerochs . In 1368 the place came under the rule of Hanau , later the County of Hanau , then County of Hanau-Münzenberg . The village belonged to their office Büchertal .

The middle church authority was the archdeaconate of the provost of St. Maria ad Gradus in Mainz, Landkapitel Roßdorf .

Modern times

In the middle of the 16th century, the Reformation took hold in the county of Hanau-Münzenberg, initially in its Lutheran form. In a "second Reformation", the denomination of the County of Hanau-Munzenberg was changed again: From 1597 Count Philipp Ludwig II pursued a decidedly reformed church policy. He made use of Jus reformandi , his right as sovereign to determine the denomination of his subjects, and made this largely binding for the county, as was the case in Niederissigheim. The higher church authority was now the consistory in Hanau . The community belonged to the "class" ( deanery ) Bücherthal and was mostly connected with the parish in Bruchköbel.

The place was almost completely destroyed in the Thirty Years War . During this time, almost half of the town's inhabitants perished. After Hanau was relieved from its siege in 1636, the remaining refugees returned and rebuilt Niederissigheim.

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , 1736, Landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the County of Hanau-Münzenberg and thus also the offices of Büchertal and Niederissigheim on the basis of a contract of inheritance from 1643.

In 1738 a new church was consecrated. Next to this Protestant church is the rectory and today also the Protestant community center.

In 1803 the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel was elevated to the status of the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic period, the office of Büchertal was under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807–1810 and then from 1810 to 1813 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , Department of Hanau . Then it fell back to the Electorate of Hesse. After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, under which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, the office of Büchertal was added to the newly formed district of Hanau . In 1866 - after losing the war on Austria's side - the Electorate of Hesse was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia .

The end of the Second World War brought far-reaching structural changes for Niederissigheim as well. Many displaced persons have settled here. With this the structure of a farming village was finally lost, Niederissigheim became a place of residence. As part of the Hessian regional reform , the incorporation into Bruchköbel took place on December 31, 1971 .

Evangelical Church in Niederissigheim, built 1735–38.

coat of arms

It was not until 1920 that the communities in this area had the opportunity to use a coat of arms. Only larger communities made use of this right. In the fifties, the Hessian state government encouraged the municipalities to seek a coat of arms and offered the support of the main state archive in Wiesbaden . The old local court seal served as a template for the coat of arms of Niederissigheim, as well as the other districts: the golden mark "N" in blue between two silver lilies . The lilies are only decorative accessories and have no historical significance.
