history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of the place can be found in a document from the year 850. Together with Niederissigheim , the two current districts of Bruchköbel then formed the village of Issigheim . Due to recurring floods, some houses were moved to nearby hills, so that two independent villages were created.

When the sovereignty was established in the late Middle Ages, Oberissigheim was in the office of Büchertal of the Hanau rulership , from 1429: Hanau county and after the division of 1458 it belonged to the Hanau-Münzenberg county .

In 1375 a pastor and a vicar are mentioned. So there was already a church in town at that time. The patronage of the church, first mentioned in 1497, was with Saints Georg and Saint Vincentus , the church patronage with Naumburg monastery and its mother monastery Limburg an der Haardt . The middle church authority was the Archdiaconate of the Provost of the Church of St. Maria ad Gradus in Mainz , Landkapitel Roßdorf , in the post-Reformation period this was the "class" (the deanery ) Windecken .

Modern times

The Reformation was gradually introduced in the county of Hanau-Münzenberg in the middle of the 16th century . In Oberissigheim this was initially done in the Lutheran sense. 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 of Hanau-Munzenberg.

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , In 1736 Landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the County of Hanau-Münzenberg and with it the office of Büchertal and Oberissigheim on the basis of an inheritance contract from 1643. In 1803 the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel was elevated to the status of the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic era, the office of Büchertal was initially under French military administration from 1806, from 1807 to 1810 it belonged to the Principality of Hanau 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, which divided the Electorate of Hesse into four provinces and 22 districts, the office of Büchertal became part of the newly formed district of Hanau . With the annexation of Kurhessen by the Kingdom of Prussia after the lost war of 1866 , Oberissigheim also became Prussian.

At 31 December 1971 Oberissigheim was in the context of municipal reform in Hesse in the city Bruchköbel incorporated . The district of Hanau, in turn, became part of the Main-Kinzig district in 1974.
