history

People already settled here in Celtic times .

The place name is probably derived from extensive clearing in this area. The oldest known written mention of Rodheim was in the year 778 under the name Rhodahaim . Between 780 and 817 the Rodheimer Mark, Rodoheimeremarca , was first mentioned in a document in the Codex Eberhardi . "Rutheri tradidit deo et sancto Bonifatio in Wetereiba in Rodoheimeremarca in villa Suabileheim predia et familiam cum substantia." (German: Ruther gives God and St. Boniface in the Wetterau in the Rodheimer marrow and in basic Schwalheim owned and families with all accessories. )

The Tradent Ruther can also be found in Dauernheim . The dating is based on the term of office of the two abbots Baugulf von Fulda (780–817) and Ratgar (802–817), the second and third abbots of the Fulda monastery .

From about 1255 to 1835 Rodheim was the place of jurisdiction.

The descendants of Balthasar von Schrautenbach had received the Glaubzahl forest as a landgrave fief. According to the Niddaer Salbuch of 1537, they left eighty acres of this to the Rodheim residents for clearing for four guilders a year. The residents of Borsdorf complained about this again .

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

"Rodheim (L. Bez. Nidda) evangel. Parish village; is on a branch of the Horloff 1 1 ⁄ 2  St. from Nidda, has 61 houses and 333 residents, who are Protestant except for 1 Catholics, as well as a church, several farms and mills, a market is held every year. - There was a parish church here in the 14th century, to which the chapels in Grassa (Grasser Hof), Langd, Steinheim and the plebanite church in Heuchelheim belonged. "

The robber Conrad Anschuh , actually Unschick, came from Rodheim. He was a member of the Wetterau gang . His father was the ill repute herder and day laborer Conrad Unschick.

Church history

The Rodheim Evangelical Church stands on an elevation. It contains a font from the 11th century.

The Reformation took place early in Rodheim. The first pastors were:

  • Johannes Ulichius until 1542, who then became pastor in Gießen ,
  • Sebastian Lesch around 1548,
  • Johannes Porsius (1592–1636) A school was also introduced during the Reformation.

School history

Conrad Kornmesser was born on February 26, 1669 in Ober-Widdersheim and studied in Giessen. In 1689/1690 he was a schoolmaster in Trebur , then in Rodheim. He lived as a schoolmaster in Berstadt for 58 years . He shared this position for 17 years with his second youngest son Christian Moritz Kornmesser, who married the daughter of the founder of Buderus , Johann Wilhelm Buderus.

Incorporation

On December 31, 1971, as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the community of Rodheim was voluntarily incorporated into the nearest small town of Hungen. For Rodheim, as for all districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was set up.
