Since 1977, Niederseelbach has been part of the community of Niedernhausen in the Rheingau-Taunus district in southern Hesse and is located in the Rhine-Taunus Nature Park .

Geographical location

Niederseelbach is just north of the densely wooded Hohen Taunus am Daisbach , which flows around the town from the west towards Engenhahn , to the north and east. The lowest crossing at 351 meters over the Taunus main ridge and thus the watershed between the Main and Lahn is one kilometer northwest of the town. That is why the most important north-south connections that cross the Taunus are concentrated in the Niederseelbach area. the Main-Lahn-Bahn , the Bundesautobahn 3 and the high-speed line Cologne – Rhein / Main .

The district extends in the north up to one kilometer beyond the watershed. The southernmost point is also the highest point in the district. It is located on the Zieglerkopf , the eastern foothills of the Hohe Kanzel , at an altitude of 515 meters.

history

The oldest surviving documentary mention as Selebach dates back to 1156. The name inferior Selebach comes from the beginning of the 13th century . Until the Thirty Years' War the village is said to have been north of the current location, in the Altdorfwiesen corridor or in the rear Altdorf . After the war, 39 survivors are said to have been counted. These moved to today's Oberseelbacher Strasse and Oberstrasse .

Around 1220 a parish was established for the Seelbacher Grund in Niederseelbach by the Counts of Nassau ; The mother church was Schloßborn . The parish included Engenhahn, Königshofen , Niedernhausen, Oberseelbach , Lenzhahn , Dasbach and the Gassenbach farm . The church was built as Johanneskirche and stands with the walled churchyard in a single location east of the village in the meadows on the road over the Daisbach. When the building was built is unknown, but there must have been a previous building when the parish was founded, the remains of which can still be found in the current church tower. The isolated location away from the village center could point to the emergence of a field church, as was common at the time of the Carolingians around 800.

At the time of the Duchy of Nassau , Niederseelbach belonged to the Idstein office . After the annexation by Prussia, it was assigned to the Untertaunuskreis in the Wiesbaden administrative district in 1867 .

On January 1, 1977, as part of the regional reform in Hesse , the previously independent communities of Niedernhausen, Engenhahn, Niederseelbach, Oberseelbach and Oberjosbach became the new community of Niedernhausen by state law. At the same time, the community became part of the Rheingau-Taunus district with the district town of Bad Schwalbach , which was newly founded on the same date . Before that, Niedernhausen belonged to the Main-Taunus-Kreis . For Niederseelbach, as for the other districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was formed. The seat of the municipal administration remained in Niedernhausen.

Both the rectory on Engenhahner Strasse and the former rectory on Pfarrstrasse are listed monuments.

Niederseelbach is on the L 3273 state road, which runs parallel to the Taunus ridge from Heftrich in the northeast to Neuhof in the southwest. In the center of the village, the K 705 district road branches off to Königshofen and the core town of Niedernhausen. From 1903 to 1971 there was the Niederseelbach stop at the apex of the Main-Lahn-Bahn above the town .

Personalities

Johann Konrad Reifert (1781–1856), master wagoner from Niederseelbach, founded a “ chaise factory ” in Frankfurt am Main around 1800 . In 1820, after the fall of Napoleon, the company was relocated to the young city of Bockenheim at the gates of the free imperial city of Frankfurt am Main. Together with his business partner Johann Ernst Wagner from Suhl / Thuringia , it was their goal to operate “a factory for elegant chaise and stagecoach” there. Its founding represented an essential step in the expansion of the industrialization of Bockenheim. The elevation of Bockenheim to town in 1819 was the deliberate intention of Kurhessen to create a new community that was open to industry and out of the favorable Proximity to the hub of commerce and traffic could be of greatest benefit. When business partner Johann Ernst Wagner died after ten years in 1830, his son, Clemens Reifert (1807–1878), joined the company. He had prepared for his work by visiting similar companies, including Paris and London. Clemens Reifert expanded the factory and introduced steam engines. The company soon also built railroad cars and had 300 employees by around 1877. The company had to close due to the start-up crisis around 1873. The global company Hartmann & Braun AG later emerged on the former company premises . Clemens Reifert is the namesake of Clemensstrasse in Frankfurt-Bockenheim , the company's former location. In the museum axis, wheel and carriage in Wiehl , there is a drawing of Clemens Reifert 4 Calechen (even carriages ).
