Oberweyer is a district of Hadamar in the Limburg-Weilburg district in Central Hesse . The previously independent place was incorporated on January 1, 1972.

Geographical location

Oberweyer is located on the northeastern edge of the Limburg Basin , on the southern edge of the Westerwald .

The district, which extends in north-south direction, is bordered by the Hadamar districts of Niederweyer , Oberzeuzheim and Steinbach in a clockwise direction from the southwest , the Beselich district of Obertiefenbach to the southeast and the Limburg district of Ahlbach to the south . The federal highway 54 runs in a north-west-south-east direction around 500 meters southwest of the outskirts . The Holzbach flows to the west north of the village. The place itself is about 230 meters above sea level. The district increases slightly to the south and east to around 240 meters. To the north-west, the terrain first drops down to the Holzbach down to 215 meters, and then climbs up again to the Heidenhäuschen (district Hangenmeilingen ). Except for a small, wooded part in the north, the district is almost exclusively covered with agricultural land.

history

colonization

Findings suggest that Oberweyer was founded by the Alemanni before the Great Migration and was later expanded by the Franks under King Clovis (around 500 AD).

First documentary mentions

Oberweyer was first mentioned in 772 in the Lorsch Codex , a deed of donation . The Countess Rachild (also: Rachilt) - a daughter of Count Cancor from the Robertin family , gave possessions in the Lahngau to the Lorsch Monastery on August 12, 772 , including in Oberweyer. Rachild's possessions in Lahngau also included “Wilere”, today's Oberweyer. The following translation of this document is published in the Festschrift for the 1200th anniversary of Oberweyer in 1972:

Donation from Rachild in Wilina and Saltrissa. In the name of Christ. On August 12th in the 4th year of King Charles . I give Rachild to the holy martyr Nazarius , whose body rests in the Lorsch monastery , presided over by the venerable Gundulandus as abbot, what I have in Lahngau in Wilina, Brachina , Saltrissa , Barenbach, Albach , Vchilheim, Wilere, Torndorf and Holtzhausen, and 44 serfs. I willingly confirm this and want this gift to be valid forever. The signature is added. Completed in the Lorsch Monastery at the time indicated above.

The second written mention of Oberweyer dates back to 790. At that time, Charlemagne gave several farms in various settlements in the Lahngau, including Vilare, the Prüm monastery in the Eifel. The place name in today's spelling is definitely only documented from 1633. In addition to “Wilere” and “Vilare”, the village was also mentioned as “Wilre” and “Oberenwilre”.

Niederlahngau

After the overthrow of the local population, the Franconian rulers established the county principle in the early Middle Ages by establishing the Lahngau. The Franconian ruler appointed Gaugrafen as his deputy on site, who also acted as chief judge. Before the year 900 the Lahngau was divided into the Oberlahngau and the Niederlahngau, whereby Oberweyer became part of the Niederlahngau. Like all other Franconian districts, the Niederlahngau was also divided into centmarks. The affiliation of Oberweyer to the Zentmark Reckenforst near Dietkirchen , the Hadamarer Mark or the Ellarer Mark is still unclear.

The Counts of Niederlahngau came from the noble family of the Konradines . After the death of Eberhard as the last Conradin count in 966, the Niederlahngau passed to the County of Diez .

Belonging to the county of Diez and the county of Nassau-Dillenburg

After the decline of the Niederlahngau in the 10th century, Oberweyer belonged politically to the county of Diez and there to the administrative and judicial district "Dehrner Cent". After the death of Gerhard VII as the last Count of Diez in 1386, his remaining territory fell to the House of Nassau-Dillenburg under Count Johann I of Nassau-Dillenburg from the Ottonian line. After the death of his son, Count Adolf von Nassau-Dillenburg, in 1420, the house of Nassau-Dillenburg was only able to maintain the property of half the County of Diez, which at that time was to a large extent pledged to numerous creditors. It was not until the Frankfurt Treaty of June 30, 1557 that the third quarter also fell to the Nassau-Dillenburg family. The last quarter came into the possession of Kurtrier via several detours in 1535 . It was only with the conclusion of the Diez Treaty of July 27, 1564 that Nassau-Dillenburg and Kurtrier finally divided up the county of Diez. For Oberweyer, this meant that the Archbishop and Elector of Trier passed his co-rule over the place to Count Johann VI. from Nassau-Dillenburg gave up.

The Dierstein near Diez monastery , the Frei von Dehrn knight family and the von Waldmannshausen, Mudersbach and Specht von Bubenheim families are vouched for as the owners of farms in Oberweyer .

Thirty Years' War

In 1623 and 1632 the plague claimed numerous victims in Oberweyer. In addition, Oberweyer was looted by Sweden in the Thirty Years War .

Nassau-Hadamar

In 1620, after the death of Count Wilhelm Ludwig von Nassau-Dillenburg , the village was assigned to the County of Nassau-Hadamar of his uncle Johann Ludwig (Nassau-Hadamar) . After the princely family Nassau-Hadamar died out a century later due to the death of Prince Franz Alexander von Nassau-Hadamar in 1711, there were several changes of ownership before Oberweyer fell to Nassau-Diez in 1743 and shortly afterwards to Orange-Nassau .

Recent history

Plates of favor at the cemetery

At the time of Napoleon Oberweyer belonged to the Grand Duchy of Berg . In 1813, Russian troops pursuing the French westward wreaked havoc in Oberweyer. From 1816 the village belonged to the newly created Duchy of Nassau . The freedom movement of 1848 meant that the Oberweyer Catholics made a pilgrimage to the pilgrimage chapel Maria Hilf Beselich for many decades and impressively proclaimed their faith there.

During the Second World War, the Wehrmacht maintained a radio station on the western edge of the village. This facility was presumably the target of an American bombing raid in which around 200 high-explosive bombs fell in the immediate vicinity of the village on March 11, 1945. None of the bombs hit their target. There was only slight damage to a few houses and the church. As a thank you for being spared, a pilgrimage to the Maria Hilf Beselich pilgrimage chapel is still organized in Oberweyer every year. In the First World War 18 and in the Second World War 36 men died from the village. From the 1950s, the village began to expand, particularly to the south. In 1962 a land consolidation took place , which led to the amalgamation of numerous agricultural areas that had been split up by the division of the estate .

On December 31, 1971 the connection to the city of Hadamar took place. In 1973 the old school house was demolished. From 1992 to 1993 a new fire station was built. From 1994 onwards, the new development area “Hinter dem Acker” was settled in two sections up to around 2005, which led to a significant expansion of the local area towards the northwest. In 1997 the sports club built a club house on the sports field. In 2002, the Beautification Association opened a village museum. In the same year, development work began on an industrial area southwest of the village, directly on the driveway to Bundesstrasse 54. In 2003, a newly built kindergarten opposite the parish church replaced the building of the former rectory, which had been used as a kindergarten.

Territorial reform

On December 31, 1971, as part of the regional reform in Hesse, Oberweyer was incorporated into the newly formed town of Hadamar. The former municipalities of Hadamar, Niederweyer, Niederzeuzheim, Oberweyer, Oberzeuzheim and Steinbach formed the new municipality of Hadamar. Hadamar was the seat of the municipal administration.

Church history

Beginnings

Up to the bell floor, the parish church tower still comes from the previous building

At first, Oberweyer belonged to Dietkirchen Abbey , which was founded before 841 and which formed the center of all the areas on the right bank of the Rhine in the Diocese of Trier and was the seat of an archdeaconate . The following places also belonged to the parish Dietkirchen: Lindenholzhausen , Eschhofen , Mühlen, Ennerich , Runkel , Dehrn , Steeden , Hofen, Schue (formerly between Obertiefenbach and Schupbach), Kraich (formerly between Ahlbach and Limburg), Oberahlbach, Niederahlbach (Urselthaler Hof), Faulbach, Offheim , Niederhadamar , Elz (both only until 1476). It has been proven that the monastery has placed itself under the protection of Mr. Specht von Bubenheim and has given them the tithe from Oberweyer. It is not entirely clear whether Oberweyer and Steinbach belonged to the newly founded parish of Niederhadamar from 1476 onwards.

First chapel in Oberweyer (1488)

Exact information on when the first chapel was built in Oberweyer is not known. In 1488, a chapel was first mentioned as a forerunner of today's parish church in Oberweyer. It was probably a small half-timbered building, as was common at the time. It has not been proven whether Prince Siegfried II von Runkel actually had a summer apartment in Oberweyer and had given it as a donation for the chapel. However, there is evidence that the noble family Specht von Bubenheim were patron saints and collatores of the chapel and therefore had the right to propose the appointment of the clergy. As the first pastor in Oberweyer, "Capellan Henrich Radenrade von Roderod" is known by name in 1545, who looked after the place either from Dietkirchen or Niederhadamar.

Reformation from 1564 and foundation of the parish in 1567

Former rectory and former kindergarten "Marienstift"

As early as 1553, Count Wilhelm the Rich of Nassau-Dillenburg gradually introduced the Reformation in the areas in which he was the sole ruler. In the county of Diez and thus also in Oberweyer, he could not yet introduce the Lutheran doctrine, as the county was known to be governed by the Archdiocese of Trier. However, immediately after the conclusion of the Diezer Treaty, with which the Counts of Nassau-Dillenburg obtained sole rule over Oberweyer, the situation changed, although the treaty stipulated that the new rulers “ did not keep their subjects from the old religion, do not force them some disgrace should therefore indicate “: Under Count Johann VI. from Nassau-Dillenburg , the Reformation was also introduced in Dehrner Zehnt and thus in Oberweyer from 1564. In September 1564 it happened that the chaplain of Obertiefenbach , who had already been reformed by belonging to the county of Wied-Runkel , “preached and preached the word of God in Oberweyer on Sundays without the sacrament being offered to the believers and taking place during the week hold a sermon during the weekday mass. ”In the same year, the Oberweyerer complained to the sovereign Count Johann VI. von Nassau-Dillenburg: Oberweyer is a parish branch of Dietkirchen and Dietkirchen belongs to the Elector of Trier. The pastor of Dietkirchen is responsible for them and not the chaplain of Obertiefenbach. On September 27, 1564, however, the Nassau administration decided that the people of Oberweyer would remain in the hands of the Reformed chaplain.

In 1567 Oberweyer was raised to an independent parish and all places in the county of Nassau-Dillenburg in Hadamaric territory that had previously belonged to Dietkirchen Abbey were assigned to it: Ahlbach , Niedertiefenbach , Niederweyer and Steinbach and probably also Nieder-Ahlbach (Urselthaler Hof). In the period during and after the Reformation eight Protestant clergy were on duty in Oberweyer: In 1568, Magister Beilstein from Wetzlar was appointed as the first Protestant pastor in Oberweyer. Church attendance remained very low and there are reports that residents were so opposed to the Protestant pastor that he was even smashed in windows. Around 1578 the Calvinist creed was introduced according to the principle of " cuius regio, eius religio " , since the ruling Count Johann VI. converted from Nassau-Dillenburg .

First parish church

After the founding of the independent parish of Oberweyer in 1567, planning began for a new church. In the following year, however, there was a dispute because the branch villages refused to finance the building of the church. Even the patrons of the previous chapel - the Specht zu Bubenheim family - were not willing to contribute financially. The construction then probably took place in the last decade of the 16th century. The exact inauguration date is no longer known. It was a small, single-nave, Gothic church with a steep roof and a massive tower with a pointed spire, but overall only half as high as the current church tower. The entrance to the old church was where the mission cross is today. The floor of the church was about 1.60 meters lower than today. It was not until 1883 that the area facing the cemetery and the floor of the church were raised to today's level. The old church was probably plastered inside and out. Remnants of the external plaster were discovered in 1965 during plastering work on the successor building.

With a length of 15 meters and a width of 8.25 meters, the interior only had a floor area of ​​125 square meters. Due to the wall thickness of the tower, it can be assumed that it was also intended for defensive purposes. It is documented that the celebration altar was consecrated on April 23, 1630 by the Mainz auxiliary bishop Ambrosius Seibaeus . The old church was renovated in 1720 and 1773. In this context, the baroque architectural style was introduced.

Counter-Reformation in 1630

John VI. Son Johann Ludwig von Nassau-Hadamar , converted to Catholicism in 1629 . Therefore, from 1630 a moderate Counter-Reformation carried out in his county . On February 12, 1630, Count Pastor Philipp Kempfer and also the clergy from Niederzeuzheim , Frickhofen , Niederhadamar and Lahr announced that they had been dismissed as pastors. Some of the clergy remained true to their Calvinist faith and left the country. Pastor Kempfer lived in Oberweyer until his death on February 12, 1631, with the count's pardon and without any further pastoral activity. In the first years after the Counter Reformation, the clergy in Oberweyer changed very quickly. The effects of the Thirty Years' War and the plague epidemics were felt everywhere. Father Wilhelm Feiner, who was pastor in Oberweyer from 1652 to 1662, had a total of 23 predecessors as priests in the small Westerwald village in the short period between 1630 and 1652.

Second parish church

The first parish church soon became too small for the large parish. As early as 1750 there was a letter to the princely state government asking for a new church to be built. However, the government did not comply with this request, especially since the legal situation of the church was not entirely clear: The Bubenheim woodpeckers denied that they were also obliged to maintain their patronage over the church, as they had never been used to pay repair costs in the past. It was not until 1805 that Dillenburg decided that Oberweyer should endeavor to receive voluntary construction cost support from the Barons zu Specht. But there was nothing to be gained from these: they had meanwhile moved to Würzburg and no longer owned their farms in Oberweyer. Later construction plans failed due to the financing.

It wasn't until 1880 that the plans became more specific. After the building permit was granted on April 29, 1883, the unneeded parts of the first parish church were demolished and construction work for today's church began. Only the last name Goldmann is known of the architect. The benediction and first use took place on All Saints' Day in 1885. The solemn consecration could, however - also due to the Kulturkampf - only be carried out on November 6, 1888 when Bishop Karl Klein gave the confirmation . As an expression of gratitude for the extensive donations from the citizens, a foundation fair is celebrated every year from Christmas to Epiphany .

In 1927 a rectory was built which housed the kindergarten until 2003.

school

During the Reformation, the first school must have been founded in the village, where the children from the other villages in the parish were also taught. The first school house built for this purpose was built in 1827, and a new building in 1883, which was demolished exactly a hundred years later, in Schulstrasse on the site of today's playground.

economy

Oberweyer is a place traditionally shaped by agriculture. However, there was also a brief mining of mineral raw materials in the district. A clay pit was operated in the 1930s northwest of the village in the Oberweyerer Wald, which is now filled with water. To the north of the village on the southern flank of the "Kissel" elevation there was a quarry to meet local building material requirements. After it was used as a rubbish dump and later as the location of the rifle house of the local rifle club, which has since been disbanded, there is now a barbecue hut. Loam for local needs was extracted from today's eastern edge of the development, on the road to Obertiefenbach.

Townscape

Parish Church of St. Leonhard

Oberweyer has an old town center, which is essentially in the north and east of the current location. In the west of the village is the parish church, which in its current state dates from 1883. On the northwestern edge of the village is the new development area "Hinter dem Acker" and on the southwestern exit of the village the industrial area "Auf den Sechsmorgen" is located. The townscape is characterized by an unusually large number of wayside shrines and old farm buildings made of half-timbered or stone masonry.

Buildings

Parish church

Since the new building in 1883, the nave has a total area of ​​327 square meters with a length of 21.8 meters and a width of 15 meters. The tower is from the previous church building, but a new bell storey was added. The transition between tower and nave is also a remnant of the old nave and today contains the church's choir. The ceiling of the church is kept open. The furnishings show some baroque figures. In 1998 a comprehensive interior and exterior restoration of the church took place.

The monument ensemble of the church also includes a mission and a cemetery cross from 1837 in the adjacent former cemetery and the neighboring rectory. It was built in 1910 with a hipped roof, a gable portal above the entrance and an upper floor separated by a facade tape.

  • pulpit

  • Cemetery cross from 1837 at the entrance to the church

Kirchstrasse 1

The half-timbered building, presumably from the 17th century, is the oldest largely preserved building in the town. The half-timbered construction was completely clad for decades, but was exposed again shortly after 2000. The building is unusually wide and shallow.

Oberdorfstrasse 24

In contrast to many neighboring buildings, this Hakenhof has remained largely unchanged. The house is likely to date from the 18th century. The massive masonry ground floor was probably already included in its original form. The half-timbered upper floor is slated today. The large barn from the 19th century consisted of quarry stone masonry and smaller half-timbered segments. Console cornices and brick edging of the wall openings adorned them. In 2002 the barn was demolished. The stable in front of it, which dates back to the 18th century, also stands out for its structural decoration in the form of a raised knee-stick threshold, which has been preserved despite otherwise massive renovations.

Schulstrasse 6

This building from the 18th century shows open visible framework. A strikingly uniform framework with only a few studded decorative struts rises above the massive ground floor above the profile threshold.

Wayside shrines and crosses

Oberweyer is characterized by an unusually large number of wayside shrines and crosses , even for a Catholic place . Below are the listed sites of this type:

Country road to Niederweyer: The base of the 19th century wayside shrine is made of natural stone, the rest of the building is made of concrete. In 1992 the building was renovated.

Oberdorfstraße 9: This wayside shrine from the 19th century is a listed building along with the courtyard wall into which it is embedded. The wall encloses a larger courtyard and demarcated it from the south-eastern approach to the old village center. The walled courtyard closure is only preserved in this form in a few places in the region, but it is common in Oberweyer. Oberweyer is an example of what was once a widespread townscape.

Oberdorfstraße 11: This brick and plastered wayside shrine is also embedded in a courtyard wall. The pyramid helmet is an early example of a cement casting process. The wrought-iron door is also of historical value, which is why the building is a listed building. According to local traditions, this wayside shrine goes back to the vows of three girls who fled to a tree from Swedish soldiers during the Thirty Years' War and were not discovered by their persecutors.

Wayside shrine Obertiefenbacher Straße (close to town): The wayside shrine is located east of the village on the northern edge of the path to Obertiefenbach and is flanked by smaller paintings. Around 1900 the building was built from bricks that have now been plastered and with a wooden pyramid roof. The frame of the door should come from the construction time. The base shows a niche for a votive tablet, which is not there.

Wegkreuz Obertiefenbacher Straße: The cross made of gray Villmar marble is also to the east of the village, but on the southern edge of Obertiefenbacher Straße. The donor inscription of the Oberweyer family Jung states 1878 as the date of construction. The base is divided into several parts, the cross carries only a small Christ body in relief. The design is obviously influenced by the Nazarene . The design is very similar to the wayside cross on Oberzeuzheimer Straße. In 1993 the listed wayside cross was restored.

Wayside shrine at Obertiefenbacher Straße (remote): The date of construction of this wayside shrine with a wooden pyramid roof near the district boundary to Obertiefenbach can no longer be traced today. In 1986 the building, which is not a listed building, was restored.

Oberzeuzheimer Straße 1: This wayside shrine was built from quarry stone on a sloping street corner. The architectural decorations point to the 19th century, the wooden roof has a decorative lace. In 1989 the listed wayside shrine was restored by the Beautification Association.

Oberzeuzheimer Straße 11: Again, it is a wayside shrine set into a courtyard wall, probably from 1910. Two massive limestone marble pillars determine the shape. The roof has a decorative lace. The niche for the votive tablet in the base is empty. The monument was restored around the year 2000. Tradition has it that it was erected on the basis of a vow because a son of the Bausch family survived an appendicitis.

Oberzeuzheimer Straße 23: This wayside cross can be dated exactly to 1801. The light gray marble has been carefully processed and smoothed. The broad baluster base bears the donor inscription of a "widow stehlerin". The sculptural body of Christ is comparatively large. Due to road and construction work, the base is deeper in the ground than in its original form and is also partially covered by a wall.

Oberzeuzheimer Straße 24: The wayside shrine in a courtyard wall was probably built from quarry stone at the beginning of the 19th century and is therefore one of the oldest structures of this type in the town. A tooth-cut frieze and an attached tip also adorn the wooden pyramid roof. The wayside shrine is a listed building.

Wegkreuz Oberzeuzheimer Straße: The listed cross made of gray marble is located at today's north-west corner of the town. Georg Schmied is named as the founder, who wanted to remember his 20-year-old son who died in a tree-felling accident in 1835. Similar to the cross on Obertiefenbacher Straße, the body is very small and only designed as a relief.

Country road to Oberzeuzheim (remote): This wayside shrine, which is not listed as a historical monument, with a wide wooden roof was built in 1922 in memory of Peter Bausch, who died of a heart attack while working in the fields.

Country road to Oberzeuzheim (close to town): This wayside shrine, known as the “tailor's chapel”, is now on the north-western edge of the town after the development of the most recent new building areas. It is said to go back to a resident's vow to donate a wayside shrine if his three sons survived the First World War.

Wegkreuz Steinbacher Straße: The original cross of this memorial north of the village, which was donated in 1788 by the Oberweyer family Stähler and is now listed, no longer exists. Only the base made of light marble is still in its original condition. Later a new cross made of dark stone was put on. According to local traditions, the memorial is supposed to commemorate a couple who were struck by lightning.

Wegkreuz Kreisstraße 459 : This wayside from around 1800 is no longer in its original condition, but is a listed building. Today, a cross with a body of a more recent date rises on the base with a donor inscription from the Bausch family made of gray marble south of the town on the road to Ahlbach.

Economy and Infrastructure

Industrial park and companies

Since 2003, Oberweyer has had an industrial park called "Auf den Sechsmorgen". It borders on the exits in the direction of Hadamar and Ahlbach and is on federal highway 54. Among other things, there is a distribution center for Deutsche Post . There are several restaurants and a small health food store in the town.
