geography
Oberhöchstadt is 2 km northeast of Kronberg at the foot of the Altkönig and the Hünerberg . State road 3015 runs through the village .
Oberhöchstadt borders in the north on Schönberg , in the west on Kronberg, in the south on Niederhöchstadt (district of Eschborn ), in the east on Steinbach and Stierstadt (district of Oberursel ).
history
The place was first mentioned in a document in 782 in an entry in the register of goods of the Lorsch Monastery with the place name eichenstat . The early medieval tower hill castle went under early. There were no remains in the 19th century. In 1722, today's parish church of St. Vitus was built on the site of the chapel from 881 . At the end of the Holy Roman Empire (HRR) Oberhöchstadt belonged to Kurmainz and was there since 1781 subordinate to the Oberamt Höchst-Hofheim or the district bailiwick of Königstein . With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the place fell to Nassau-Usingen in 1803 and from 1806 to the Duchy of Nassau , where the place was assigned to the office of Königstein. With the annexation of Nassau by Prussia in 1866, Oberhöchstadt became Prussian and from 1877 part of the new Obertaunus district .
On April 1, 1972, joined as part of administrative reform in Hesse municipalities Oberhöchstadt / Taunus, Kronberg / Taunus and Schoenberg (Taunus) voluntarily merged to Kronberg / Taunus together.
School system
In 1628 a school teacher was first mentioned in a document in Oberhöchstadt. In the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War , however, the town's school history (which had only 16 households at the end of the war) ended. In 1660 a schoolmaster, Johannes Dönges, is mentioned again in the church accounts. The school was organized as a winter school , i. H. the school year began after All Saints' Day and ended on White Sunday . The children from neighboring Schönberg were also taught. The place of instruction was the parish hall on the Dalles. In 1811, a court yard in today's Oberurseler Straße (No. 21) was converted into a schoolhouse and teacher's apartment. From 1830 a second class had to be introduced because the number of schoolchildren had increased. A second teacher was employed and rented in Giesgasse (today: Altkönigstrasse 4) in the hall on the upper floor.
After the number of children continued to rise, the school was built in 1849. The school house on the Dalles was built at the cost of 1670 guilders . In 1850 the Schönberg children left school. Half a century later the school, which in 1902 had 237 children in three classes, had become too small again. In 1905/06 an extension was built on the school garden site for 26,185 marks and 76 pfennigs. The school was now in four classes.
Due to the flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe in 1945–1950 , the number of pupils rose sharply after the Second World War and amounted to 267 in 1949. Teaching was carried out in two shifts. In 1959 the new school on Stuhlberg could be moved into, which had been built for 360,000 DM. First of all, grades 1 to 4 attended the old school and grades 5 to 8 went to upper school. In 1963/64 a 9th grade was introduced. In 1968 the extension of the upper school was inaugurated. The school building had cost 800,000 DM. In 1972 a school pavilion was set up to provide enough space for the 374 children and 12 classes. From August 1, 1975, the school was a pure elementary school . The current name is Grundschule Schöne Aussicht . The older students now attend secondary schools in the neighboring towns. The closest school is the Altkönigschule in Schönberg.
