Odenhausen (also Odenhausen (Lumda) ) is one of six districts of the municipality of Rabenau in the central Hessian district of Gießen .

Geographical location

Odenhausen is surrounded by three mountains, the Melmes , the Lemberg and the Hainberg . Neighboring towns are Kesselbach , Geilshausen , Weitershain (city of Grünberg ) and Rüddingshausen .

The village lies in a valley through which two bodies of water flow. The Appenborn rises in the homonymous farm about 1.5 km away, which belongs to Odenhausen. The second, larger body of water is the Lumda , which rises near the town of Atzenhain (Mücke municipality). In the center of the village, the smaller Appenborn flows into the Lumda.

history

Odenhausen was first mentioned in a document in 1093, when Mathilde von Arnsburg donated her Odenhausen estate to the St. Alban's monastery in Mainz . With a cautious estimate, one can assume that the place was founded around 1050 at the latest, but presumably has early medieval roots. In 1577 Odenhausen was named as a branch of the parish of Londorf. It was not until 1924 that it became a parish itself.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Odenhausen in 1830:

"Odenhausen (L. Bez. Grünberg) evangel. Branch village; is located on the Lumda, 2 1 / 4 St. of Grunberg, and belongs to the Freiherrl. The von Nordeck zur Rabenau family, who in 1822 ceded part of the jurisdiction to the state. The place has 58 houses and 382 inhabitants, who are Protestant apart from 8 Mennonites and 4 Jews, and among whom are 28 farmers and 12 craftsmen. The spinning and line weaving is very popular. In the eighties the landowner, Freiherr Friedrich zur Rabenau, introduced the spinning of linen yarn among the male sex in winter by having some poor boys learn it, and having them publicly granted bonuses by the clergy in church, which one it aroused so general emulation that from that time on, spinning became common in the male youth in winter and spread into the neighborhood. Odenhausen has a church 1, school house, 1 von Rabenauischen Hof and 1 grinding mill. - The place already occurs in 1093; at which time Mathilde von Arnsburg, daughter of Count Eberhards von Bilstein, gave the St Albans Monastery in Mainz her estate at Odenhausen for the salvation of her father brother's son Christian, and in the 15th century the place belonged to the Londorfer Mark. You can find him in documents under the name Udenhusen juxta Nordecga . "

The municipality of Odenhausen was incorporated into the municipality of Rabenau on December 31, 1971 as part of the regional reform in Hesse on a voluntary basis.

In 1993 the 900th anniversary of the place was celebrated, in which all local associations took part. The large flood retention basin for 160,000 m³ of water between Odenhausen and Geilshausen, which is intended to minimize the risk of flooding through the Lumda, was completed on December 4, 2006. It was inaugurated on Ascension Day 2007 with a large "dyke festival". On January 18 and 19, 2007, the basin passed its baptism of fire after heavy rains and the hurricane "Kyrill" caused the water level to rise above the overflow.

  • Udenhusun (1093) [beginning of the 15th century. UB Mainz 1, no. 386]
  • Udinhusin, in (1267) [Wyss, document book of the Deutschordens-Ballei 1, no. 240]

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Odenhausen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or registry lords and thus the “Patrimonial Court of the Barons Nordeck zur Rabenau ” in Londorf was responsible for Odenhausen . The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. In 1822, the barons of Nordeck zur Rabenau ceded their rights at the Londorf court to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. “ Landgericht Grünberg ” was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Odenhausen from 1822 to 1879.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Amtsgericht Grünberg" and assigned to the district of the regional court of Giessen . On July 1, 1968, the Grünberg District Court was dissolved, and Odenhausen was added to the Gießen District Court . Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Regional Court of Giessen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

Village church

West side of the church

The Romanesque church with its early Gothic tower is a remarkable building . The choir tower is rectangular. The nave is narrower than the tower and consists of field and rubble masonry . In the north wall, some stone slabs are set diagonally in a herringbone bond , but this was no longer common in the 13th century. Therefore the ship must be older than the tower. The church in Odenhausen is one of the oldest in the Gießen district. The pastor of the parish, which also includes the neighboring towns of Rüddingshausen, Weitershain and Geilshausen, is the deputy dean Jörg Gabriel.

Hofgut Odenhausen

The four-storey building was an aristocratic court belonging to Messrs Nordeck zur Rabenau . It is probably the highest free-standing inhabited half-timbered house in Hesse.

Hofgut Appenborn

A little outside is the Hofgut Appenborn, a former old ancestral home of a line of the noble Nordeck zur Rabenau family . A small, rural, senior mansion with a flight of stairs and old oak columns. Rainer Maria Rilke was a guest here once in a summer . Around the manor house the farm yard, near the mill.
