history

prehistory

Traces of the urnfield culture , from the Hallstatt period and graves from the Latène period were found in the Rumpenheim district .

In 1972, a Hallstatt burial chamber was discovered in the Rumpenheimer Flur Klingenrain . This consisted of limestone lumps on an area of ​​4.3 × 2.8 meters (interior: 3.5 × 2 meters). The person buried was a man about fifty years old, 1.73 m tall, who was buried on a wooden wagon. Grave goods included a lance, a knife, animal body parts and ceramics. The grave could be dated to the epoch Hallstatt D1 to Hallstatt D2 (approx. 550 BC) through the additions. Due to the grave goods and the burial in a wagon grave, it was a so-called princely grave , the burial of a leader.

Traces of settlement and graves have also been found from Roman times . The current district was then in the so-called Dekumatenland and was part of the Civitas Auderiensium in the province of Upper Germany .

Place name

The place name Rumpenheim , with its ending in -heim, suggests that it was founded in Franconia . The Frankish conquest took place at the end of the 5th century. Rumpenheim was probably founded as one of several settlements along the old Roman Mainuferstraße . The first part of the place name probably refers to a person's name. Accordingly, the founder of the place could have been called Rumpo or Rumpho, this is the short version of Rumpraht. Rumpenheim would therefore be called: Settlement of Rumpo / Rumpho and his people . Another theory assumes that the first part of the place name is a modification of Rumpe. This is a basket-like wickerwork that was used for fishing.

Lorsch and Mainz

Lorsch Codex

The oldest surviving mention of Rumpenheim can be found in the Lorsch Codex , dated June 1, 770, when a Gunthardt donated a vineyard to the Lorsch Monastery . It is one of the earliest mentioned places in the region. During this time Rumpenheim was part of the Franconian Maingau . Numerous other notarized donations to Lorsch Abbey followed over the next few decades. Residential buildings, fields, forests, meadows, a golden cross and 40 servants are given away. As a result of the donations, the monastery owned between 600 and 700 acres . Later the village came completely into the possession of the Lorsch imperial monastery , which was of central importance for the old empire at that time .

Abbot Winther (also Winitherius) pledged part of the monastery property to the Count Palatine in 1077 , including Rumpenheim, so that he could become Bishop of Worms . His successor bought the property back. At the end of the 12th century Rumpenheim was given as a fief to the Lords of Dornberg . By 1232 Kurmainz took over all rights and possessions of the Lorsch Monastery, so that Rumpenheim became part of the electorate. The Lords of Dornberg died out with Konrad von Dornberg in 1259.

From the Middle Ages to 1819 Rumpenheim belonged to the Biebermark .

Historical forms of names

Rumpenheim was mentioned under the following names in documents that have survived (the year of mention in brackets):

  • Rumphenheim (770-1285)
  • Rumpinheim (1343, 1380)
  • Rumppenheym on the Meynstryne (1451)
  • Rumble Haim (1576)
  • Rumpelheim (1616)

Hanau

After the Lords of Dornberg died out, Rumpenheim was given as a fief to Reinhard I. von Hanau in 1261 . Since then it has belonged to the office of Büchertal of the Hanau dominion , from 1429: County Hanau , after the division of 1458: County Hanau-Münzenberg . It was the only place of the office of Büchertal, which was south of the Main.

In 1338 a pastor and a parish church were mentioned. The patronage of the church lay with the Lords of Hanau. The central church authority was the Archdiakonat St. Peter and Alexander in Aschaffenburg, Landkapitel Rodgau , which belonged to the Diocese of Mainz .

The lords of Rumpenheim received the village from the lords of Hanau as an afterlehen at the end of the 13th century . In 1401 Günter von Rumpenheim renounced the fiefdom, and from 1409 Frank von Kronberg became the new Hanau vassal . With an interruption from 1426 to 1449, the Kronbergers stayed in Rumpenheim until 1617.

The Reformation was gradually introduced in the county of Hanau-Münzenberg in the 16th century . In Rumpenheim this was initially done in the Lutheran sense. The Rumpenheim pastor Demuth married in 1532. 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.

As in the rest of the county of Hanau-Münzenberg, the Solms land law became customary here at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries . The Common Law applied only if the rules contained the Solmser land rights for a fact no provisions. The Solms land law remained valid in the 19th century, even in the Electorate of Hesse and the Hessian Grand Ducal period. It was not until the Civil Code of January 1, 1900, which was uniformly valid throughout the German Reich , that the old particular law was largely overridden.

From 1617 Rumpenheim was initially no longer awarded as an after loan. In 1621 Rumpenheim was plundered and set on fire during the Thirty Years' War by troops of the Spanish general Spinoza . The troops of General Guillaume de Lamboy also demanded heavy sacrifices from the residents of the area during the siege of Hanau in 1635/36. The population fell sharply during these years, so that in 1637 only 57 people lived here.

In 1674, Count Friedrich Casimir von Hanau enfeoffed the head of his government, Johann Georg Seifert von Edelsheim , with Rumpenheim. At the end of the 17th century he built a mansion, the basis of today's Rumpenheim Castle .

Hessen-Kassel

Rumpenheim Castle in March 2005

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 Rumpenheim on the basis of an inheritance contract from 1643.

Landgravine Maria used Rumpenheim Castle from 1764–1772 as a retirement home. Then it came into the possession of Landgrave Friedrich III. von Hessen-Kassel (1747–1837), who founded the Hessen-Rumpenheimer sideline of the House of Hesse , and served him and his family as a residence. Step by step, the existing mansion was expanded into a three-wing castle.

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 .

Hessen-Darmstadt

After the lost war of 1866 , the Kingdom of Prussia annexed the Electorate of Hesse. However, in the peace treaty of September 3, 1866 , Rumpenheim was passed on from Prussia to the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt in an area swap. There the place was incorporated into the Offenbach district, which belonged to the Starkenburg province .

In 1911 the district of Waldheim was founded as a country house colony.

20th century

On April 1, 1942, Rumpenheim was incorporated into Offenbach . After an air raid in World War II , the roof structure of the castle burned down on December 20, 1943.

After 1945, the Biebernsee settlement was built on the eastern edge of Rumpenheim . After decades of decay, the ruins of Rumpenheim Castle were expanded to include high-quality condominiums. In the last few years Rumpenheim has been expanded considerably with new development areas. The former Offenbach district of Lohwald , which was located in the Rumpenheim district , was demolished. The residential area An den Eichen is being built in its place .
