Geographical location

The former village and today's district of Frankenberg (Eder), Röddenau, is located about four kilometers west of Frankenberg in the wide Edertal. The Goldbach , which rises in the forest to the west of Wangershausen , and the Leitsebach , also called "Litzebach" in local parlance, flow through the village , whose source is at the foot of the Leitsekopf . Both waters flow into the Eder, the Goldbach east of the sand mill, the Leitsebach near the slate mill.

Transport infrastructure

Former Röddenau train station

Röddenau is in its old part a village with old half-timbered houses , some of which had to be demolished in the last fifty years to improve the infrastructure. Until May 2005, the busy federal road 253 ran from Frankenberg to Battenberg (Eder) right through the village . Since then, the main traffic has been led past the district on a bypass. This has brought considerable relief for the vast majority of residents, only those who live near the new bypass are exposed to greater noise pollution.

Röddenau owned a train station - built in 1907 by Alois Holtmeyer - on the Nuttlar – Frankenberg railway line , which has since been closed.

Local division

With the expansion and widening of the federal road in 1953 and 1967/68, the old coherent core of the village with the church and the judicial linden tree in the middle was cut into two parts. The areas north of the former federal road include: In der Klinge, Am Berg, Rodenbacher Weg, Am Goldbach, Scheidweg, Battenberger Straße and Hainer Weg. To the south of the former main road the areas: Mühlenstraße, Ortsweg, Muschelweg and Riedweg. At the end of the 19th century and in the 20th century, the new building areas were built around this old town center: Am Elseberg, Hainer Weg, Höheborn, Rodenbacher Weg, Schlinge, Auegärten, Am Bahnhof, Im Stück, Niederfeld and finally Scheidweg and Auf der Warthe.

Röddenau was one of the largest village communities in the Altkreis Frankenberg until 1970 and is the largest district of Frankenberg after the community reform from 1971.

History of the place

Origin of the place name

The place name Röddenau certainly goes back to the fact that an area in the Ederaue had to be cleared in order to establish this branch and thus land was given for cultivation and cultivation. The name changed over the centuries due to linguistic changes, but also due to the fact that the name forms in the documents available today were often written down by non-local scribes simply by hearing.

Archaeological finds

Röddenau is one of the oldest places in the old Frankenberg district. The court biographer of Charlemagne , Einhard , goes into his notes on the battle in 778 between Battenfeld and Laisa , in which a Franconian-Alemannic army met and defeated a Saxon army retreating from a raid on the home march. He mentions the great slaughter on the Aderna (Eder) river, in which only a few Saxons were able to escape to safety. It can be assumed that Röddenau also existed this year, which is also supported by several excavations and finds. But there is no reliable proof of a dated document.

Donation in the "Codex Eberhardi"

The “ Codex Eberhardi ”, written in the 12th century, is kept in the Hessian State Archives in Marburg , in which one finds the deed of donation of a certain Albuin to the Fulda monastery , in which he donated his possessions in “pago Hassorum in Rutenemarcha” to the Fulda monastery. This deed of gift is undated, so that it can only be assigned to a period in comparison with parallel deeds. The document researcher of the 20th century and connoisseur of the older Fulda documents, Edmund Ernst Stengel , initially assumed a date from the end of the 8th century (780), but revised it after comparing it with Fulda documents from the years 818, 825 and 838 came to the conclusion that the deed of donation in question must have been created after the term of office of the Fulda abbot Baugulf at the beginning of the 9th century. If this dating is correct, the 1200th anniversary of the locality was celebrated in Röddenau with some justification in 2005.

Incorporation

On December 31, 1970 Röddenau was in the course of administrative reform in Hesse on a voluntary basis in the city Frankenberg (Eder) (former spelling Frankenberg-Eder ) incorporated .
