Ears is one of the seven districts of the municipality of Hünstelden in the Limburg-Weilburg district in Central Hesse .
Geographical location
Ohr is the southernmost part of the municipality of Hünstelden. Its district borders to the northwest on that of the Kirberg administrative center and to the northeast on that of the most populous district of Dauborn . In the south, the Ohren district borders on the Rheingau-Taunus district and the local community of Hünstetten , more precisely on the districts of Ketternschwalbach , Bechtheim and Beuerbach (from the west).
The demarcation describes a rough triangular shape pointed to the north with the town and a surrounding strip of arable and grassland in the middle and foothills of larger forest areas on the west and east side. The Hainbach flows through the village. The district increases on the east and west side as well as in the south. The highest elevations are the Junkerheck with 339 meters in the southwest and the Schanzenkopf with 324 meters in the south.
history
Ohr is located on the old route of the Hünerstrasse , an important trade route dating back to the Celts between the Rhineland , Taunus and Wetterau . It was first mentioned in 1301. The settlement was probably not established long before, in the late phase of the medieval inland colonization . Therefore, the place arose in a densely wooded area on poor quality soil.
Around 1355 the Bechtheimer Gebück was created south of the Ohren district . The district and thus also the municipality and district boundary roughly follows the course of this border fortification formed by hedges.
In 1612 the place received its own cemetery and a chapel with its own parish council , but as before remained assigned to the parish of Kirberg and the local pastor. At the end of the Thirty Years War , ears was almost depopulated. In 1717 a school was built in ears.
Territorial reform
On October 1, 1971, as part of the regional reform in Hesse , ears merged with six other previously independent towns to form the municipality of Hünstelden.
